GPay gets Business Pages; Search, Maps get new badges for women entrepreneurs

Google hosted the Google for India event in India today. At the event, the company announced the introduction of Business Pages on Google Pay.

This new feature will enable business users to create easy catalogues of their products and services and direct people to them through a unique URL. Interested buyers can chat with the homepreneur about their order and pay within the chat-based interface on Google Pay.

In addition to introducing Business Pages on Google Pay, Google today introduced special badges for women-led businesses on Search and Maps. The company said that it will enable search in English for “women-led”, “women-led restaurants,” “women-led clothing stores” and more on Google Search and Maps. This is being done in order to make it easier for people to support women-led businesses.
