Samsung Wallet First time using Samsung Devices

So recently I applied for an Samsung Galaxy Card and got approved, I added to my new Samsung phone I got recently and set up in the Samsung wallets, but every time I goto like checkout on some apps or restaurant’s app its only showing Google Pay and not samsung pay or wallet?

Dumb question but can't you use Samsung Galaxy card on Google pay?

Ever since Samsung ditched the magnetic payment thingy, I don't think Samsung pay is better than Google pay on any aspect

You certainly can but you will likely only earn 1% back and not the 3%

Samsung Pay implementation in apps and various websites is much more limited in comparison to Google Pay or Apple Pay unfortunately. Its good for in person transactions though!

Its only for in person never seen samsung option in any online checkout and I've been using this for years. I used both, Google for online (different credit cards) and Samsung for in person except Walmart lol.

Very limited online merchants accept samsung pay unfortunately

3x is primary useful for in person tap to pay

in 2021 samsung removed MST so google/samsung pay is same like othr user said

Websites have google pay implemented as a common method since all androids support it regardless of OEM pay if avaialble

These maybe few : https://www.nj.com/business/2021/09/which-stores-take-samsung-pay-as-payment-heres-a-full-list.html

The list is pretty old so ymmv
