Google Wallet for Android users in the US can now access a new order tracking experience powered by Gmail.
Instead of just passes, Google Wallet’s Gmail integration can now show “detailed receipts, tracking numbers, and shipping status” for your online purchases.
On the homepage, you’ll see a card beneath the payment carousel when you have an order that’s arriving soon. Tapping opens a fullscreen page with everything about the transaction, including the price, list of purchased items, and tracking details.
By tapping the “View more” button on the main screen, you can see a list of all your orders in Transactions. This list can be filtered by “Google Pay” transactions and “Orders.” A “large number of the top US merchants,” including Amazon and Google Play in-app purchases, are supported, but smaller ones might not appear in the Wallet app.
To get order tracking in Google Wallet, make sure you have Gmail > Settings > [email account] > Google Workspace smart features > “Smart features in other Google products” enabled.
Once available, select a payment card to re-authenticate using your Google Account. Afterward, order tracking will be enabled in the app, along with Wear OS sync.
Google tells 9to5 today that Wallet order tracking has now rolled out for all US users.
