As the fight against the spread of Covid-19 continues in India, Google Pay added a couple of new options on the merchandise to form lives easier for users, as they observe social distancing.
Nearby Stores, a Spot launched on Google Pay last month, helps users see which stores, providing essential goods, are open in their vicinity. Originally rolled during a few cities across India, this Spot is now available in 35 cities across the country.
