Google Wallet has now been launched in India.

Google said that it has partnered with over 20 of India’s brands to enable users to easily access items such as transport tickets, loyalty cards and gift cards. It added that Google Pay will remain for payments.

Google says it has the widest range of partners for any digital wallet in India and hopes to add more partners to the service soon.

Users of Google Wallet in India will be able to digitise physical document from images containing a barcode or QR code such as luggage tags and parking receipts.

Additionally, if users have smart personalisation enabled, they will automatically be able to view tickets, such as cinema tickets, from Gmail for a certain number of partners.

“Android has put the power of computing into the hands of billions of people around the world, and we’re dedicated to continuously making the android experience more connected and seamless,” Google said. “Be it new ways to search anything on your phone without switching apps or helping you reimagine your cherished moments, the android ecosystem is designed to empower you to get more done.”

In February, Google announced that it was replacing Google Pay with Google Wallet in the US to “simplify the app experience.” The Google Pay app will cease to function in at the beginning of June.
