Be careful: paying with Google Pay is extremely easy and the default setting is monthly recurrence. If you're not logged in, the only way to cancel (as far as I know) is by sending an email, which is incredibly precarious.

Worth noting the 2:1 match is only for recurring donations. The graphic does not mention that
> When you start a recurring donation of $25 or more in September, your initial gift will be matched 2:1.
Any rules for how quickly you can cancel one and it still counts as recurring?
Does Google Pay automatically suspend the recurring payment after failed charges?
Some card issuers let you temporarily lock down the card.
By design
You can go to play store subscriptions and cancel there right ?
Not if Google Pay has been used as the transaction agent. It's not a Google Play subscription.

in those situations, especially if the business is unresponsive, i just keep charging back until they stop. if i can subscribe easily, i should be able to cancel just as easily :)
Well, you can't if you paid using a debit card, like I did. Silly me.
You often still can actually. Call your bank
Just did. Not possible in Spain.
Which bank? My main bank (I'm also in Spain) is BBVA which is able to do charge backs with my debit cards as well. Was possible with Banc Sabadell I used to have as well, really strange to hear there is a bank that doesn't support that today with debit cards.
Debit cards can do chargebacks just as credit cards can do. That's a feature of Visa and Mastercard (and others). If your bank refuses, complain to the card network. Oh and consider changing banks, that's really unacceptable in 2026 and shows an anti customer stance.
They do, but require that an incident is raised claiming fraud, etc. I guess they want to avoid misuse of this feature.
This is completely normal. You can't just issue a chargeback because you feel like you want your money back after the fact. They want to know what went wrong. It could be fraud but it could be also misleading checkout experience and other reasons. The merchant is charged often a fee for a chargeback on the order of $15 and it might result in penalties.
So, if you feel like you've been charged unfairly (e.g. product not what was expected), in error, fraudulently etc. then chargeback is the route and you should provide a reason. It's a mechanism to protect consumers. If on the other hand you just want your money back without good reason then chargebacks are not the right tool. The consumer also has an obligation to pay if there was no fault on the merchant side.
Honestly, sounds like everything is as it should be?
This makes Google more powerful. I don't want to yield money via any Google services ever.
