Using Google Wallet with Fitbit - the easy way to pay directly from your watch

Add your credit and debit cards to certain Fitbit devices to make contactless payments right from your device—even when you’re traveling internationally.

Google Wallet is now available on Fitbit devices that support contactless payments. Fitbit Pay will no longer be available starting July 29, 2024*. Set up Google Wallet in the Fitbit app (version 4.14.1 or higher) to continue making contactless payments using your Fitbit device.

To check if your card works on your Fitbit device, see:

• Fitbit Pay: fitbit.com/fitbit-pay/banks
• Google Wallet: fitbit.com/global/us/technology/google-apps/banks*

Use your Fitbit device to purchase items in any store that accepts contactless payments or to ride select transit systems. To determine if the store accepts contactless payments, look for the symbol below on the payment terminal:
