How to refer someone on Google Pay

You can share your referral code with the person you want to refer to Google Pay. There are two ways your friend can apply for a referral code:

• Download the app through your referral link, which will automatically apply the shared referral code.
• Visit the referral code page and enter the code manually.
  1. Go to the profile page.
  2. Tap Referral code.
  3. Enter the referral code that your friend sent you.
  4. If the code is valid, a success screen will appear.

If you were referred by someone, you can check the following on the referral code page:

• If the code was applied successfully
• The status of your referral
• Eligibility

Receive referral rewards

You can earn up to 100 referral rewards if you invite new users to Google Pay. Once the referred user makes their first payment, both the referrer and referee will receive their reward.

Important: You can earn only one referral reward for your first-time installation of Google Pay.

If you didn’t receive a referral reward or can't find the money in your account, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check if you’re eligible for the reward

Make sure that:

• You’ve earned less than 100 referral rewards. You can earn up to 100 rewards and ₹9,000 INR in a financial year.
• You sent the correct referral link or code. Learn more about how to get rewards.

Step 2: Check if the person you referred is eligible for the reward

Make sure that the person you invited:

• Signed up and downloaded the app through a referral link or referral code that you sent
• Didn’t sign up through a referral link or code that someone else shared with them
• Didn’t create a Google Pay account before
• Made their first payment successfully

Tip: For more information, on your app, refer to the terms and conditions of the referral offer.

My friend isn’t eligible for the referral reward

To qualify for each offer, a Google Pay customer can only use one set of Google Pay credentials that hasn’t been previously registered with Google Pay. This includes, but isn't limited to, the following:

• Google Account
• Phone number
• Form of payment

Each customer can only avail of this offer once per unique registered invitee. The invitee can only avail of this offer for their first Google Pay transaction.

It’s possible that your friend has already been registered on Google Pay before, or may have signed up with someone else’s referral code.
