Add your physical or virtual Spendesk card to Google Wallet on Android to pay with Google Pay.
For: Cardholders with a physical Spendesk card, or a recurring or multi-use virtual card, on an Android device, in a country where Google Pay is available.
Before you start
You need a physical Spendesk card, or a recurring or multi-use virtual card. Single-use virtual cards can't be added to Google Wallet.
Download the Google Wallet app on your Android device.
Install the latest version of the Spendesk mobile app.
Confirm Google Pay is available in your country (see Non-eligible countries). This option isn't available for companies located in the US.
🔒 Access: Only physical cards and recurring or multi-use virtual cards support Google Wallet. Single-use virtual cards aren't eligible.
Add your card from the Spendesk app
To add your Spendesk VISA card to Google Wallet from the Spendesk app:
Open the Spendesk mobile app.
Tap the My Cards icon from the tab menu.
Select the card you want to add. You can add your physical card or any recurring or multi-use virtual card.
Tap Add to Google Pay.
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish adding the card.
Once added, the Card available in Google Pay label appears next to the card in the app.
Add your card directly from Google Wallet
Open Google Wallet and tap Add to Wallet.
Select Payment card.
Enter your Spendesk card number, expiration date, and CVV.
Read and accept the Terms of Use.
Verify your identity using SMS, email, or the Spendesk mobile app, depending on the option offered.
Enter the verification code you received.
⚠️ Note: If you don't have the Spendesk mobile app installed, you may be redirected to install it to complete verification. We recommend installing the Spendesk app before starting this method.
Paying with Spendesk cards from Google Wallet
Once your card is added to Google Wallet, you can use it wherever you see the contactless or Google Wallet symbol on the payment terminal or cash register.
To pay, you don't need to open the Spendesk mobile app: wake up your Android phone and hold it near the reader until you see a checkmark.
💡 Tip: Use physical or multi-use virtual cards for in-person, contactless purchases. Recurring virtual cards work best for online subscriptions.
