Google pilots Soundpod by Google Pay
January 20, 2023
The search giant is piloting a soundbox of its own in the country to alert sellers of confirmations for Unified Payments Interface (UPI)-based payments, reports TechCrunch.
The company has branded them as ‘Soundpod by Google Pay’ and is currently distributing it as a pilot with some shopkeepers in north India, including Delhi.
The Soundpods are being built by Amazon-backed ToneTag, the report mentioned.
A Google spokesperson told IANS in a statement that “We are experimenting with several different solutions to make digital payments more convenient and intuitive for users and merchants”.
The ‘Soundpod by Google Pay’ is accompanied by a QR code of a merchant linked with their Google Pay for business account.
Users can use any UPI-based app to make a payment by scanning the code.
