Turn Google Pay on or off for users

If you're an administrator of Google Accounts for an organization, you can control who uses Google Pay from their account. You can turn on the Google Pay service for everyone in your organization, specific organizational units, or specific groups. Users who have Google Pay turned on can use it to make purchases. Users who have Google Pay turned off retain limited access to the service, as described in the next section.

What happens when Google Pay is off

When you turn off Google Pay for users in your organization, they can't use it to make purchases and any existing subscriptions will be canceled.

The Google Pay toggle applies to services, like YouTube, that use Google Pay as their billing system. It does not apply to some business services that use billing systems that are not branded as Google Pay.

Even with Google Pay turned off in the admin console, users will still be able to access payment and transaction histories on the Payments platform and payments.google.com. Users will not, however, be able to access payment products like GPay and Wallet when Google Pay is turned off.
