This technology (NFC) allows these devices to interact with a POS without contact (contactless).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you can pay for any purchase by simply bringing your mobile or smartwatch to the POS, <\/span><b>instantly<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>100% secure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to know a little more about <\/span><b>what Google Pay is<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, how it works and how you can set it up, read this complete guide about Google Pay.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><b>How to set up Google Pay?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To configure the <\/span><b>Google Pay system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the user must download the corresponding application from the Google Play Store.

In this way, your associated data will be scanned automatically (card number, expiration date, etc.).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once this process has been completed, the CVV code will be requested and the user must subsequently agree to the terms and conditions proposed by Google.
