Wallet - Google Pay

harryd337

I can confirm that Curve Pay now works for contactless payments with a GrapheneOS phone. I just paid for groceries using it and it worked great. For reference I am in the UK but I hear that it's working everywhere Curve is available (so not the US for now).

harryd337 Thanks for the update! Do you have Google Play Services installed?

harryd337

Michiel Yes Google Play Services is installed in the same user profile

I also recently contacted Privacy.com support and they confirmed that NFC payments are coming soon.

Digital Wallet Cards is currently a closed beta program. We hope to make Digital Wallet Cards available to all users in the near future.

tremble1256 FYI I believe this is the ability to add your privacy.com cards to apple pay/google wallet, not the ability to use the privacy.com app to tap and pay independent of those services. a good feature addition for those who use privacy.com, but tap and pay with google wallet in grapheneOS isn't available. at best you may be able to add privacy.com virtual cards to a wearOS device using google wallet paired with your grapheneOS device (which already works with other compatible cards)

I was successful using Curve connected to my creditcard. I am a local EU inhabitant though, not sure other regions work as well. But I can use it worldwide. It is not the same as using my debit card which uses google pay unfortunately, at least I can just bring my phone for paying and not a bunch of cards outside my hotel that I do not want to lose while traveling.

After reading this thread and couple others still don't have clear picture about Wallet/Pay on GOS. I try to understand what exactly prevents it from working.
I'll appreciate a lot if anyone could explain technical aspects of this?

Which data Wallet is lack when it runs on GOS?
How it even knows it runs on GOS rather than on andorid?
I mean GOS is sophisticated and well-developed enough to provide all requred security levels.
How come its not possible to provide (or to fake) low level data wallet may be looking for so it would think it runs on standard Android? I would be glad to contribute to solving this issue if its possible and relevant

x_arrange It could work on GrapheneOS if the app didn't detect GrapheneOS isn't an OS certified by Google. The way they check that is with Play Integrity. See this comment for why spoofing won't work: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/1986#issuecomment-2186732614

everyone's fixated on gpay, but i'm wondering if there's non-bank-linked alternatives for nfc payment apps...
Catima doesn't seems to allow nfc payments since it's just a loyalty cards wallet of sorts.

Hello, obviously Google Wallet doesn't work for NFC payments via credit and debit cards. However, I'm wondering if this also applies to transit passes?

e.g. Bay Area Clipper or Seattle Orca cars

I'm wondering about something similar to @CorvetteCole
I'm aware Google Wallet doesn't work for NFC payments, but I have a digital season ticket for my football (soccer) club in the UK, which uses Google (or Apple) Wallet, updates automatically with the ticket for the next game, and uses NFC. Is there any chance that this would work ?

gusgorman As long as they don't use Play Integrity it should work.

flawedworld Note that other features of Google Wallet work fine, it's just NFC payments which won't work since we are not certified by Google.

What those features are? Would I be able to add virtual cards from the app?
It requires to handle notification from the app, even if the request was issued from the site.

bam Would I be able to add virtual cards from the app?

So I gave it a try and installed it along with the dependencies (Google Services, etc.).
It behaves strange - I wasn't able to make use of it.

First, I couldn't install it from Google Play - got "Can't install Google Wallet" error. Okay, maybe it's because of my region, so I installed it with Aptoide.
That didn't give much - on the first run, the app showed permission request pop-up, but disappeared immediately (crashed?). On the second run, it just shows me a button to add Transit pass/Loyality card/Gift card nonsense, that's all.
Not even my debit cards there.
What's worse, the app doesn't show notifications when trying to add virtual cards from Google Pay site, even if I added missing Notifications permissions manually.

Any help?

fph in the Netherlands NN Bank (Nationale Nederlanden) still has its own NFC payment app which works on GOS most of the times, some terminals however don't accept them.

bam yesterday
Sandboxed Google Play Services, and Sandboxed Google Play Store was updated to 254730035, today they're at Beta in your Apps app, they look a bit reworked. Might be worth a try if some further compatibility has been gained.

bam

Novalissoide What are my steps then to do it?
