Turn Google Pay on or off for users

As an administrator of your organization's Google accounts, you can control who uses Google Pay. Just turn the service on or off for those users in your Admin console. Users who have Google Pay turned on can use it for purchases on the web or through the GPay mobile app. When you turn off Google Pay for users, they cannot use it to make purchases and any existing subscriptions will be cancelled. The Google Pay toggle applies to services, like YouTube, that use Google Pay as their billing system. It does not apply to some business services that use billing systems that are not branded as Google Pay. 

Control who uses Google Pay in your organization

Before you begin: To turn a service on or off for certain users, put their accounts in an organizational unit (to control access by department) or add them to an access group (to allow access for users across or within departments).

   Sign in using your administrator account (does not end in @gmail.com).

2. In the Admin console, go to Menu  AppsAdditional Google services.

3. Click Google Pay.

   Tip: Scroll to see all services. Or at the left, choose a Filter to narrow the list, for example, based on status or popularity.

      • If the Service status is set to Overridden, either click Inherit to revert to the same setting as its parent, or click Save to keep the new setting, even if the parent setting changes.
