Google Wallet Rolls Out Gmail Order Tracking to All US Android Users

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jul 23

Summary

  • All US Android users can now see online order details directly in Google Wallet, with homepage cards surfacing purchases that are arriving soon.
  • Gmail powers the feature by pulling in receipts, tracking numbers and shipping status, then showing a full transaction page with price, purchased items and delivery details.
  • Google Wallet also adds an Orders view under Transactions, where users can filter between Google Pay purchases and broader order history.
  • Amazon, Google Play in-app purchases and many other major US merchants are supported, though smaller retailers may not yet appear in the app.
  • Wallet order tracking requires Gmail smart features to be enabled and a payment-card re-authentication, after which the data also syncs to Wear OS.
