Topic: Will Google Wallet Kill Paypal? (Read 1554 times)
google is taking over everything and it cant take paypal because of ebay. but i think it will become more competitive
Once bitcoin catches on, paypal is done. And so is google wallet.... seems like google wallet is a little late to the game. If it got here before bitcoin started gaining popularity than maybe. As far as I'm concerned, they are too late.
Not really. The problem is that consumers want some protection and Google and PayPal can do that.
Google Wallet needs to implement enticing features and greater exposure. PP has manifested and rooted itself in many businesses whereas GW is only available in a fraction of them. Can't be taking market share if you're not in most of the market.
Imo PayPal is only alive because of its high userbase
I get a very tiny percentage of orders with google wallet compared to paypal on my website. People really like the paypal or cc option.
I don't really like PayPal, but they are so huge that it would be hard to really compete with them. I hope Google can compete with them soon. Fuck PayPal.
I think there's room for improvement in both platforms
Paypal is integrated so heavily in eBay it will always have a user base. Too many merchants already accepting it as well. Google Checkout has been out a long time and Paypal is still around.
This, however will be interesting to see what google can come out with

Also don't forget Paypal has a lot of restrictions on what you can take payments for.
Example. No adult material.

Google will destroy paypal in the long run using their market monopoly. They surely start functioning at eBay also. eBay can't deny google wallet access. (otherwise they would end up with a bunch of lawsuits)
Will google wallet help bitcoin?

Why on earth would bitcoin enthusiasts care at all about google wallet? Unless you plan on using it to buy bitcoins...
... or sell and get fiat. Problem of exchanging BTC <> fiat will be with us for a while.
I'm just seeking more reliable, cheaper and convenient way to do it.
Thanks for the link, Theraty!
I wasn't exactly clear on what I wanted... was trying to find the way to send payments to Google Wallets.
It seems the API they have only does "checkout" and some kind of "login via Google account" stuff.
Could not find the part where I can actually send money from my wallet to somebody's else's.
Did anybody do this kind thing?
If that's possible, I would drop Paypal in no time.

Does google wallet freeze people's accounts like paypal does?

I don't think it will kill it, I've used google wallet for a while and I still prefer paypal. Plus unless google has way better features than paypal, which I doubt they will then people won't really want to switch over.

Not gonna happen unless Google Wallet accepts direct debit
It seems, they already use it. According to them you already may use the bank account to deposit money into your Google Wallet.BTW, there is company called Qiwi (mostly based in Russia), but moving into Wester Europe, that has payments via phones and SEPA.
On a related note, does anybody know of API to interface with Google Payments?
Would rather use that instead of Paypal.
Would rather use anything instead of Paypal.

If ebay begins accepting google wallet, it will definitely be a downward struggle but in saying that a lot of other websites use paypal still so there is still hope.
