Overview

Enable fast access to offers by using the Google Wallet API. The Google Wallet API makes it straightforward for your customers to add offers to Google Wallet on their phones, providing easy access at the right time. Offers lets users add and redeem their offers cards more efficiently.

Saving offers in Google Wallet also eliminates clutter and enables faster access. To find the card, users need to open up the Google Wallet app, swipe up, and tap the one they want to use. By enabling offers in Google Wallet, users never miss a chance of redeeming them, and it grants immediate visibility to all available offers.

With offers, send notifications to your users two days before they expire. This helps make sure that high intent users redeem their offers before the expiry.
