This collaboration leverages Google's AI expertise and PayPal's payment infrastructure to deliver seamless transactions across platforms and devices, enhancing security, personalization, and efficiency for businesses and consumers worldwide.
The partnership focuses on creating new AI-powered shopping experiences and establishing industry standards for agentic commerce. By combining PayPal's global payment infrastructure, data-driven personalization, and trusted identity solutions with Google's AI capabilities, the companies will deliver innovative AI interactions. They are advocating for best practices, including Google's Agent Payments Protocol, a secure, open framework designed to enable scalable agentic commerce across the sector.
"PayPal is a leader in digital commerce, and we're excited to expand our work together to make online transactions simpler and more secure," said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet. "Through this partnership, PayPal will use our industry-leading AI to enhance services and security, and we will more deeply integrate PayPal's innovative payment capabilities for a better experience across Google products and platforms."
PayPal's offerings, such as branded checkout, Hyperwallet, and PayPal Payouts, will embed deeply into various Google products to ensure seamless user experiences. This broad integration supports frictionless commerce while maintaining high standards of security and compliance.
"In this emerging world of agentic commerce, trust and innovation are key," said Alex Chriss, President and CEO of PayPal. "Together with Google, we are leading the way for digital commerce, ensuring greater opportunities for merchants and users worldwide. We are bringing PayPal's products and services to billions of Google users and redefining what's possible at global scale."
