PayPal, Google partner to merge payments, AI for online shopping

PayPal and Google have formed a partnership to integrate their payment and AI technologies for online shopping.

The collaboration will add PayPal checkout options to multiple Google products and explore AI tools that help sellers target customers and adapt to autonomous shopping agents.

Both companies plan to set standards for risk controls and safety in transactions involving merchants, consumers, and AI agents.

New products tied to the partnership could launch as early as Q4 2025.

PayPal will process card transactions for Google Cloud, Google Ads, and Google Play through its Enterprise Payments platform.

The move follows Google’s introduction of a payments protocol for agent-led transactions and comes as PayPal continues to build out its cryptocurrency payment options.

This deal follows a recent agreement where AI firm Perplexity selected PayPal to support agentic commerce on its platform.
