This is a pending charge performed to verify that your card account is valid. When the transaction goes through, the hold will go away.
Find Google Pay charges for non-Google products
When you buy from a retailer other than Google through Google Pay, the charge will appear with the retailer's brand. If you have any questions about the charge, contact the retailer.
