Razorpay has partnered with Google Pay to support international payments, allowing Indian businesses to offer a faster and more familiar checkout experience to global customers. With this integration, Razorpay becomes the first Indian payment aggregator to enable a card wallet payment experience through Google Pay for cross-border transactions.
The move simplifies international checkout by eliminating the need for customers to manually enter card details, CVV numbers, or complete additional verification steps. Instead, international buyers can complete transactions securely using Google Pay with a single tap on their smartphones.
Simplifying Cross-Border Checkout for Indian Exporters
Razorpay aims to solve long-standing challenges in global payment processing. Traditional card-based checkout systems often create friction due to OTP verification, CVV entry, and manual form filling, leading to lower conversion rates and poor customer satisfaction.
By integrating Google Pay into its international payment gateway, Razorpay enables Indian exporters to align with global payment preferences. Customers abroad can now pay in a way that feels fast, secure, and familiar.
Rahul Kothari, Chief Operating Officer at Razorpay, said Indian businesses are increasingly building products for global markets rather than focusing solely on domestic expansion. He emphasized that a seamless checkout experience plays a critical role in global success.
“Indian businesses are no longer thinking of building their presence domestically first. They want to create products and have a reach that is global. For such companies, the quality of the checkout experience matters as much as the quality of the product. Buyers expect to pay in a way that feels familiar, fast, and secure on their phones. Enabling card payments through Google Pay on our international payment gateway is another step in that direction,” Kothari said.

Digital Wallet Adoption Expected to Surge
According to Razorpay, digital wallets could account for up to 65% of all online transactions globally by 2030. However, many Indian exporters still rely on outdated payment solutions, leaving room for improvement in cross-border commerce.
The company’s international payments solution operates under the Payment Aggregator Cross Border (PA-CB) license issued by the Reserve Bank of India, allowing Razorpay to manage cross-border transactions efficiently and securely.
Strengthening India’s Export Ecosystem
The launch comes as India’s export sector continues to expand, with total exports reaching $825 billion in FY25. Razorpay’s integration with Google Pay builds on its earlier support for Apple Pay, further strengthening its cross-border payment stack.
With support for Google Pay, Apple Pay, international cards, and multi-currency transactions, Razorpay now provides Indian businesses with multiple global wallet options. The company aims to help exporters compete on equal terms in international markets by delivering a seamless and frictionless buying experience.
