GPay NextGen Payments

While working with Google Payments I created several concepts for improving transactional experiences. These were a mix of internal explorations for GPay, the microapps platform, new stand-alone products, and pitching external partners to develop pilot programs.

Super charged shopping list

Google Assistant powered shopping lists have been major part of my shopping for a few years now. So how do we augment that experience? A few of the basic features were rewards/coupon integration, product location, product purchase history, related product promotion, and simple self-checkout flow with basic weight confirmation to help validate purchase on exit.

Scan, bag, & go

Looking for ways GPay could enhance retail self-checkout experience we include integrated wishlist, product details, location, and cross-sell. Purchase of products flag the security system to ignore associated RFID tags as they left the store or pass-through secure store exit.

Shop nearby inventory

GPay microapp explorations included retail experiences powered by Google Shopping. Users could browse nearby inventory across stores to reserve or simply buy online. Leveraging price tracking, users would be notified of when an item goes on sale. We also explored the idea of pre-authorization auto-purchasing options.

Support content creators

Exploring options for content creators to earn money without relying on ad support. The micro-payments platform allowed creators to customize messaging, engage with fans, or unlock extra content on their sites or inside app.

Upgrade your starship

Glance is an Android app that allows users to view content, shop, and play games from their lock screens without additional downloads. We generated a few designs to allow micro-payments to content creators/partners through the lock screen.

let's talk

If you've made it this far, you already know way too much about me. Reach out if you need an extra set of eyes on a project, want someone to ramble about product design at a conference or school, or just love talking about designer toys. Always happy to chat about what you're working on, sometimes it ends after the call and other times we build really cool things.
