I have a pending Google Pay transaction—what should I try?

First, check the transaction in Google Wallet and at payments.google.com to see whether it is still pending or has been canceled.

If it is a temporary authorization hold, Google says it should disappear once the transaction completes; a canceled order’s pending authorization can also take a few days to disappear.

If the payment remains pending, check payments.google.com → Alerts for any verification or payment-method issue, and make sure your card details and billing information match your bank’s records.

If the payment was made to a third-party merchant, the merchant and your bank/card issuer handle the transaction rather than Google.
