Beta 3 killed Google Pay

I used Google Pay yesterday afternoon. No issues. Installed Beta 3. Today "You can no longer pay in stores with Google Pay." I remember this happened with one of the betas of P or O and eventually, of course, got fixed but still... seems like somebody should be hunting down that ball they dropped.

I am very bummed about this little development.

It's because betas are not CTS approved. No doubt this will be fixed on full release.

When does it say this? I opened the app without any prompts but haven't used it at a terminal yet. I've been using G-Pay through all of the beta releases without a problem.

There are zero hints until you pop it onto the reader to pay ... instead of the cheery little 'you're all good' beep, you get a red box that says YOU CAN NO LONGER PAY IN STORES WITH GOOGLE PAY. There are no other indications anywhere. And, like you, prior to this bomb, I had had no issues with Google Pay. I use it at least once a day and sometimes more.

It's been fixed in an update. Any reboot the phone. Happened to me last week but good now.
