Problem: Google Pay not working
If you are experiencing issues with Google Pay not working on your Android device, try the following troubleshooting steps:
1. Check internet connection
Ensure that your device is connected to a stable internet connection. Google Pay requires an active internet connection to function properly.
2. Update Google Pay
Make sure you have the latest version of Google Pay installed on your Android device. Visit the Google Play Store and check for any available updates.
3. Clear cache and data
Clearing the cache and data of the Google Pay app can help resolve various issues. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Google Pay > Storage > Clear cache/clear data. Note that clearing data will remove your payment history, so proceed with caution.
4. Restart your device
Restarting your Android device can often resolve temporary glitches and issues. Press and hold the power button, then select "Restart" or "Reboot" from the options that appear. Once your device restarts, check if Google Pay is working.
Problem: Unable to add cards to Google Pay
If you are having trouble adding cards to your Google Pay app, try the following steps:
1. Check card compatibility
Ensure that the card you are trying to add is compatible with Google Pay. Some banks and card issuers may not support Google Pay, so check with your financial institution if you are uncertain.
2. Verify card details
Double-check the card details you are entering in the app. Make sure the card number, expiration date, and CVV are entered correctly. Even a small mistake can prevent the card from being added.
3. Contact card issuer
If you are still unable to add your card, contact your card issuer or bank for assistance. They can help troubleshoot any issues specific to your card or account.
Problem: Google Pay app crashing
If the Google Pay app keeps crashing on your Android device, try the following steps:
1. Update Google Pay

2. Clear app cache and data
Clearing the app cache and data can help resolve app crashes. Go to Settings > Apps > Google Pay > Storage > Clear cache/clear data. Note that clearing data will remove your payment history, so proceed with caution.
3. Restart your device
Restarting your Android device can often resolve temporary app glitches. Press and hold the power button, then select "Restart" or "Reboot" from the options that appear. Once your device restarts, check if Google Pay is still crashing.
Problem: Transactions not going through
