Security Measures
Google also announced plans to test new fraud detection services for merchants.
The system aims to identify fraudulent transactions better while reducing false positives that may block legitimate purchases.
Google explains:
“We’re always working to protect consumers and businesses from fraud, which is forecasted to grow substantially in the coming years. Soon we’ll begin piloting a service to help merchants better identify fraudulent transactions and help prevent fraudsters from using stolen financial information. This will also help unblock good transactions that may be mistaken as fraud.”
Looking Ahead
The announcements come as retailers prepare for increased holiday shopping activity.
According to company statements, the features are expected to roll out gradually over the coming weeks.
The timing coincides with broader industry efforts to integrate AI technology into retail experiences while addressing growing concerns about payment security.
