Google has introduced Express checkout for Android native applications, enabling developers to utilize stored payment and address credentials from Google Wallet to streamline the user checkout process.
According to a blog post published May 26, 2026, the company is implementing dynamic callbacks for Android apps. These tools allow developers to update total prices, taxes and shipping options in real time as users interact with the Google Pay sheet.
The new functionality also allows developers to manage authorization feedback without requiring the user to close the Pay sheet. These capabilities were previously available for web platforms, and the update brings Android applications to the same standard.
Dominik Mengelt, a developer relations engineer for payments at Google, and Nik Heath, a product solutions engineer at Google, stated in the post that Dynamic callbacks enable a true ‘Express Checkout’ experience.

By integrating these dynamic callbacks, developers can adjust the checkout funnel in several ways:
Reducing friction by facilitating a one-click experience and moving the checkout process upstream.
Increasing pricing accuracy through the provision of real-time tax and shipping costs.
Improving authorization rates by delivering success or failure feedback directly within the Pay sheet to increase conversion.
The update aims to align the Android developer platform with the existing capabilities of the web version of Google Pay.
Dynamic callbacks bring the Google Pay developer platform on Android to parity with its capabilities on the web,

The deployment of these tools occurs as mobile wallets continue to see increased adoption. An October report from PYMNTS Intelligence titled Apple Pay @11: Usage Is Up, but Competitors Are Gaining Ground noted that 31% of consumers reported using a mobile wallet in-store within the previous week.
This 31% figure is more than double the share of consumers who reported the same usage in 2024. The report also found that the share of consumers using Google Pay specifically in the last week of the survey period doubled year over year.
The business utility of streamlined checkout is further detailed in another PYMNTS Intelligence report, The Next-Gen Commerce Playbook: Turning Checkout Into a Compounding Customer Loop. The findings indicate that stored credentials and one-click checkout options are essential for increasing conversion rates and reducing cart abandonment.
According to that report, 80% of shoppers use stored credentials, and 84% of shoppers prioritize one-click checkout options.
