Do you want to have your Covid Certificate in Google Pay? Well, it is simpler than it seems: we tell you how to save the QR in your account to have it always available on all your phones, also on your watches with Wear OS.
The Covid Certificate is not mandatory to travel or to move around destinations, but it is convenient to request it in order to do so speed up travel-related paperwork (even with access to restaurants and other entertainment venues). Requesting the Covid Certificate from the mobile phone does not involve complications, nor does downloading the certificate to the phone in order to present it from the screen. And there is an even more complete way to have it on Android: add it to Google Pay.
Create your own Google Pay card with the Covid Certificate
Google announced the upcoming availability of the Certificate in the Android payments app, but that feature hasn’t arrived yet. Even so, it is not difficult to download the QR to Google Pay: it is a process that is carried out in a few steps and without the need to complicate excessively. For this we will use an intermediary app.
Since Google Pay does not yet allow the incorporation of the QR of the certificate directly (it can be entered as a loyalty card, but removes part of the code when creating said card), you can use an application like Pass2Pay to solve this problem. We have tested the process with several Covid Certificates and we can guarantee that it works correctly.
Let’s see how to transfer the Covid Certificate in QR format to a Google Pay card:
- You must download Pass2Pay to your Android. It is an application that takes care of create cards suitable for Google Pay, either from a Passbook file or from scratch.
- Download the PDF of your Covid Certificate to your mobile. You can also capture the QR code as an image.
- Open Pass2Pay and choose the option you want. You can use “Open PDF” if you downloaded the Certificate in that format or “Open image” if you saved the QR capture.
- Upload the file you need and accept the text identification: Pass2Pay will locate the QR code and use it as a Google Pay card.
- Fill in the required text fields to create the card (They are marked with an asterisk). For example, you can put “Covid Certificate” in all of them.
- Scroll down to the bottom and select “Save to phone.” Pass2Pay will generate the card and open Google Pay for you to save in your account. You accept.
After the process, you will already have your Covid Certificate saved in Google Pay. It is possible to perform all the steps without an Internet connection except for the generation of the pass, that point does need access to the network. You can delete Pass2Pay once you have created (and saved) the Google Pay card.
Pass2Pay is a free app that does not need permissions beyond those necessary to function. It has ads and you can remove them with an in-app purchase of 1.49. It is not only useful for the Covid Certificate, Pass2Pay can add Google Pay from Apple Passbook passes to most train or plane tickets: it is very useful, safe and developed in Spain.
