Google today announced the integration of ShopeePay and TNG eWallet (an Alipay+ Partner) with Google Pay in Malaysia, marking Google Pay’s first eWallet integrations in Southeast Asia. This new feature will enable Android users in Malaysia to checkout seamlessly with their preferred eWallets when shopping on mobile sites via Google Chrome, starting with selected online merchants. 

This initial integration features ShopeePay and TNG eWallet (an Alipay+ Partner), and will expand to support more partners in the future.

With 88% of Malaysians using eWallets in 2024, this Google Pay integration helps make online payments more convenient and secure. By incorporating the popular eWallets that Malaysians use daily, Google Pay now offers consumers more choices in addition to card payments and extends cashless payments to the underbanked, fostering a more inclusive digital payment ecosystem. 

Farhan S. Qureshi, Country Director, Google Malaysia said, “We are excited to bring this new Google Pay feature first to Malaysia, a market with a thriving digital payment landscape and a strong appetite for eWallet adoption. By integrating with trusted local platforms like ShopeePay and TNG eWallet, we are localising Google Pay to match their everyday payment preferences, and delivering a frictionless and secure manner when shopping on their favourite mobile sites on Google Chrome. As the first market in the region to offer this integration, Malaysia also has the potential to set a new standard for digital payment innovation across Southeast Asia.”

Bringing more convenience to Malaysians 

Users can select the Google Pay button at checkout (top) or select “eWallet” when prompted in Chrome (bottom) 

This integration of Google Pay with widely used local eWallets offers Malaysians a more efficient experience for their everyday online transactions, including shopping, food delivery, and bill payments. 

How it works: 

Checkout: When shopping at participating online merchants, users can select the Google Pay button at checkout or select “eWallet” when prompted in Chrome to pay directly with ShopeePay or TNG eWallet (an Alipay+ Partner), all without switching apps. 

In-checkout convenience: Users can now top up their preferred eWallet directly through Google Pay. Soon, they will also be able to view their balance there. 

One-time verification for first payments with eWallet: Users making first-time payments with their preferred eWallet on Google Pay will be prompted for a one-time verification for enhanced security. Once completed, they will be able to make one-click payments through Google Pay subsequently, without the need for switching apps. 

Secure transactions: All payments made with Google Pay are secure, with each transaction requiring a fingerprint or PIN verification. 

Users can start paying with merchants from Fiuu, such as Nando’s and US Pizza, and from iPay88, such as Alpro Pharmacy, TK Bakery and Yoyo Bus.
