The topic Google Wallet is testing a better way to manage your Gmail receipts and passes<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Google Wallet users will be well aware that it\u2019s long been much more than a place to keep your payment cards. It can store everything from boarding passes to receipts, which is handy until the app starts feeling like the digital version of a drawer full of old paper scraps. Google now appears to be working on a better way to keep the Gmail-linked passes and receipts part of that mess under control.<\/p>\n

While poking around under the hood of the app, we managed to enable a new \u201cManage passes from Gmail\u201d settings option in development. True to the label, tapping it opens a \u201cPasses & receipts from Gmail\u201d page where Google Wallet can show receipts and passes pulled from your Gmail inbox, all in one place.<\/p>\n

Google Wallet can already add certain items from Gmail, so this isn\u2019t a brand-new connection between the two apps. When you enable \u201cSmart features and personalization in other Google products\u201d in Gmail, Google\u2019s support page says Wallet can automatically add Gmail items such as loyalty cards, event tickets, train tickets, boarding passes, and receipts from tap-to-pay transactions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The new part here is a dedicated Wallet page for managing Gmail-sourced passes and receipts, including email receipts that don\u2019t appear to be limited to tap-to-pay transactions. In our example screenshots above, you can see the page lists receipts from sites like Flipkart and Google Play. Some entries show the amount, while others only show the merchant and date. The page can also show the status of some orders, such as \u201cCanceled\u201d or \u201cRefunded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opening an individual receipt brings up more detail, including the merchant, date and time, item description, and order number, where available. There\u2019s also a \u201cView email receipt\u201d button that opens the original Gmail message, as well as a trash icon to remove the receipt from Wallet. A confirmation dialog explains that removing it will delete the receipt and transaction info from Wallet, though it won\u2019t delete the original email.<\/p>\n

As ever with APK teardowns, there\u2019s no guarantee this page will roll out publicly, and Google could change how it works before release. Still, if Wallet is going to keep pulling useful bits from Gmail, giving you one place to see and clear them out feels like the kind of no-nonsense upgrade the app could probably use.<\/p>\n
