Looks like it can only be done in the US, not in the UK. 😕 The only "how to" that comes up in search for Google Pay is:

But for the US, we can:

And it says:

 

You can use your PayPal account with Google pay in 3 ways: To make purchases at any in-store merchant that accepts Mastercard Contactless Payments, when shopping in an app, or when you use the Chrome mobile web browser to checkout.

In Store: When shopping in-store or through an app, you can use Google Pay with a PayPal Cash or PayPal Cash Plus account. When you pay, Google Pay uses your balance. If you don’t have enough money in your PayPal Cash or PayPal Cash Plus balance at the time of purchase, we'll automatically use your bank or debit card to add money in increments of $10 to your balance first to cover the purchase.

Chrome mobile web browser: If you’re using the Chrome mobile browser and check out using PayPal with Google Pay, you’ll be asked if you’d like to pay with PayPal. If you do, put your finger on your phone’s fingerprint scanner to complete the purchase. There’s no need to log in with your username and password, authenticate using your biometrics, and then pay with any of your available payment methods.

Online or in app: You can choose PayPal from within the Google Pay wallet anywhere you see Google Pay button. If you have not added PayPal to your Google Pay wallet, you will go through linking PayPal account to Google Pay.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
