Everything is going virtual and money transfer is all about wallets and UPI payment modes. People have taken this going cashless quite seriously. Even if I talk about me, I hardly pull out my wallet to pay anywhere, no matter if it's an ice-cream stall, shopping clothes, or nearly anything. 

But there are people who are still trying to figure out how to go ahead and start using the app. So we bring to you a step by step guide to use Google pay for the first time- from installation to first transaction.

4. Follow the instructions as the app states and accordingly keep proceeding

Rewards on Google Pay: This is indeed my favourite. Whenever we transfer some to someone, many-a-times, we get the scratch cards from which we earn various rewards- discount coupons, money, cashback and more. So whatever we do, we get many offers accordingly.

So, these are basic points you must know before you start using the app, and eventually when you start using it more frequently, you will get to know many other features.
