Google Play now allows US users to pay with Venmo for purchases in the Play Store. Multiple outlets report that users can link their Venmo account within Google Play’s payment methods and then use it to complete transactions.
The coverage describes Venmo as a new third-party payment option joining Google Play’s existing payment system. Engadget and other sources specify that purchases can use either a Venmo balance or a linked account tied to Venmo. TechCrunch and 9to5Google frame the change in the context of ongoing efforts to drive more spending on digital content, including apps, games, and in-app or subscription purchases.
While most outlets focus on convenience and expanded checkout flexibility, they agree on the core point: Venmo becomes available for payment on Google Play, and users can enable it by updating their payment methods in the store.
