Google Pay vs Midtrans

Google Pay lets customers pay online or in apps using payment methods saved to their Google Account. On Chrome and Android, Autofill can enter saved card details at checkout, while the Buy with Google Pay button lets shoppers choose a payment method and shipping address. Android users can tap at store card readers and transit gates or stations, using saved cards, tickets, and other items. Google Wallet can hold credit, debit, loyalty, and travel cards for Google Pay use. Eligible cards may use virtual card numbers to conceal actual card details from merchants during online purchases. At checkout, users may also choose providers such as Affirm, Klarna, or Zip, subject to eligibility. Businesses can add Google Pay API checkout to an app or website, and Google says it charges no additional fee to accept Google Pay, though payment provider processing fees still apply. Google describes payment data as end-to-end encrypted and says it will not sell personal information or transaction history. Google Pay is free, but feature availability depends on region and device; contactless payments require an Android phone with NFC.

Midtrans helps businesses accept payments through cards, bank transfers, e-wallets, QRIS, over-the-counter payments, cardless credit, direct debit, and other methods. Merchants can select from 25 payment methods and enable all or only those they need. Snap supplies a checkout interface for websites and mobile apps; Core API lets a business build its own payment flow. Merchants can also create a payment page link in the dashboard without code and share it with customers.

For ecommerce, Midtrans documents plugins for WordPress WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart, and WHMCS, along with integrations for Shopify, Sirclo, and Jejualan. Android and iOS SDKs support native in-app payments. Recurring charges can collect fixed subscription amounts at selected intervals and retry failures, though only some payment channels support them. Midtrans says it screens every transaction for fraud using machine learning and analyst-defined rules. It is available on Android, iOS, web, and through an API. Setup is free, with charges on successful transactions; pricing starts from 4,000 IDR, and fees can differ for gaming and digital product companies.
