Google Wallet for Android users in the US can now access a new order tracking experience powered by Gmail.
Instead of just swipes, Google Wallet’s Gmail integration can now show “detailed receipts, tracking numbers, and shipping status” for your online purchases.
On the home page, you will see a card below the payment carousel when you have an order that will arrive soon. Tapping opens a full-screen page with everything related to the transaction, including the price, list of purchased items, and tracking details.
By tapping the “See 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” and “Orders” transactions. A “large number of major US merchants” are supported, including in-app purchases from Amazon and Google Play, but smaller ones may not appear in the Wallet app.
To get order tracking in Google Wallet, make sure you have enabled Gmail > Settings > (email account) > Google Workspace smart features > “Smart features in other Google products”.
Once available, select a payment card to re-authenticate using your Google account. Order tracking will then be enabled in the app, along with Use operating system synchronization.
Google says 9to5 Today, Wallet order tracking has been rolled out to all US users.
