- With Google Pay now live on Razorpay, Indian exporters can now unlock a globally familiar checkout experience
INDIA, Bengaluru – 22nd April 2026: Razorpay, India’s omnichannel payments platform for businesses, today announced its integration with Google Pay to support international payments for Indian businesses. With this, Razorpay becomes the first Indian Payment Aggregator to enable a card-based wallet experience through Google Pay for international transactions, extending a globally familiar checkout experience to Indian exporters.
Industry forecasts project that digital wallets will account for a growing share of global e-commerce transaction value by 2030, reaching an estimated 65% as consumers increasingly favour faster, wallet-based checkout experiences. Reflecting this shift at scale, Google Pay has emerged as a widely used digital payment platform globally. Its broad adoption across major international markets has made it a familiar and trusted way to pay for global customers. Yet, the absence of such widely adopted digital wallet options in many cross-border checkout flows continues to anchor Indian exporters to legacy, card-only experiences, leading to high checkout abandonment, low trust, and revenue loss for Indian exporters.
With this partnership, Razorpay strives to bring Indian exporters closer to their international customers by removing long-standing payment checkout barriers. By enabling Google Pay at checkout, exporters can offer a fast, familiar, and trusted payment experience, eliminating manual card entry and unnecessary authentication steps.
Commenting on the partnership, Rahul Kothari, Chief Operating Officer, Razorpay, said, “Indian businesses are no longer thinking of building their presence domestically first. They want to create products and have a reach that is global. For such companies, the quality of the checkout experience matters as much as the quality of the product. Buyers expect to pay in a way that feels familiar, fast, and secure on their phones. At Razorpay, we see our role as building the financial rails that make this possible. Enabling card payments through Google Pay on our international payment gateway is another step in that direction. Along with our broader cross-border stack and other global wallets, this partnership is about helping Indian businesses compete on equal terms in global markets, creating a seamless and frictionless buying experience.”
Through this partnership, Indian businesses can now meet their customers where they already are – on their phones, with a single-tap experience, instead of relying only on card-led flows with CVV, OTP, and manual entry.
This integration arrives at a critical time for India’s export story and digital payments landscape. India’s total exports touched $825 billion in FY’25, and the country is on a clear trajectory towards becoming a $2 trillion export powerhouse by 2030.
At the core of this is Razorpay International Payments, which operates under Razorpay’s Payment Aggregator Cross Border (PA–CB) licence from the Reserve Bank of India. The licence allows Razorpay to facilitate both inward and outward cross-border payments with full regulatory oversight, strengthening the trust and compliance backbone for innovations like Google Pay at checkout.
This launch builds on Razorpay’s earlier integration with Apple Pay and further strengthens its role in enabling global digital payments for Indian exporters. With both Apple Pay and Google Pay available through a single integration, Indian businesses can now offer two of the world’s most preferred mobile payment methods, delivering fast, secure, and familiar checkout experiences across key export markets. Combined with support for international cards, multi-currency processing, and other global wallets, Razorpay continues to strengthen its role as a payment platform for cross-border digital commerce.
