TL;DR<\/p>\n
Google Wallet users will be well aware that it has long been more than just a place to keep your payment cards. It can store everything from boarding passes to receipts, which is useful until the app starts feeling like a digital version of a drawer full of old paper scraps. It appears that Google is now working on a better way to keep that mess of Gmail-linked passes and receipts under control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Digging into the scope of the app, we managed to enable a new “Manage passes from Gmail” setting option in development. True to the label, tapping it opens the “Passes and Receipts from Gmail” page, where Google Wallet can show receipts and passes pulled from your Gmail inbox in one place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Google Wallet can already add some items from Gmail, so this isn’t a brand new connection between the two apps. When you enable “Smart features and personalization in other Google products” in Gmail, Google’s help page<\/a> says Wallet can automatically add receipts to Gmail items such as loyalty cards, event tickets, train tickets, boarding passes and tap-to-pay transactions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The new part here is a dedicated wallet page to manage Gmail-sourced passes and receipts, including email receipts that don’t seem to be limited to tap-to-pay transactions. In our example screenshot above, you can see the page listing receipts from sites like Flipkart and Google Play. Some entries show the amount, while others show only the merchant and date. The page may also show the status of some orders, such as “Cancelled” or “Refunded”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
