Google Pay
Google Pay is a mobile payment system by Google that lets you buy your Deutschlandticket at TicketPlus+ contactlessly via your Android phone.
What is Google Pay?
Google Pay (formerly Android Pay) is Google's mobile payment service for Android smartphones and tablets. Like Apple Pay, it uses tokenization and biometric authentication to make payments fast and secure — without sharing real card numbers with merchants.
Google Pay for the Deutschlandticket
At TicketPlus+, Google Pay is one of three primary payment methods (alongside Apple Pay and PayPal). The purchase process takes under 30 seconds: open the app, select your ticket, confirm with fingerprint or face, done.
