Google Wallet on Android rolling out order tracking dashboard using Gmail [U]

Following the homepage redesign, Google Wallet for Android is adding online order tracking in the US.

Update 7/2: We’re now seeing order tracking go live on our devices. When you have an upcoming delivery, a card will appear at the bottom of your card carousel on the homepage.

Tapping takes you to a details page that lists what you have purchased as mentioned in the email with images. There’s a link to that message and the ability to see “Tracking info,” while you can delete any order that appears in Google Wallet.

Back on the homepage, tapping the “View more” FAB reveals a new orders carousel under Transactions. There’s also a list view to see your order history.

Original 6/25: This Wallet feature can pull “detailed receipts, tracking numbers, and shipping status” from Gmail.

The Google Wallet app will display “orders that are arriving soon” on its homepage alongside your passes. To view all orders, tap the centered “View more” button. At the top, Wallet will show “orders arriving today or in transit.” You can also view online orders from View more transactions > Orders.

Once you view an order, Google Wallet will show package tracking details. You can remove orders from Wallet by tapping the trash icon on this page.

This information is also available on wallet.google.com in the Transactions tab > Orders.

To get order tracking in Google Wallet, make sure you have Gmail > Settings > email account > Google Workspace smart features > Smart features in other Google products enabled.

This Wallet feature is currently available in the US with support for a “large number of the top US merchants.” Google notes that: “If the order is from a smaller merchant or merchant is not from the US, it may not be displayed in Wallet.”

This is not yet live on accounts we checked today, with Google releasing a support article about the integration in the past day.

Order tracking is a natural fit that helps make the new Google Wallet homepage a bit more like a dashboard.
