First things first: Download the Google Pay app, my friend.

Now, let's get your credit card on board.
- Open the Google Pay app and tap on your profile picture.
- Look for the option that says "Pay with credit or debit cards" and tap on that too. You're on a roll!
- Time to add your card. You can either scan it with your phone's camera (fancy, huh?) or enter the details manually.
- Google Pay might ask you to verify your card through your bank. Just follow the on-screen instructions, it's usually a quick SMS or a call.
Congrats! You've just given your credit card a digital makeover. Now it can hang out with all your other virtual friends in your phone.

- Hold your phone near the payment terminal, like you're giving it a high five. You might see a quick animation or hear a beep, that's your cue to celebrate!
Remember: You might need to unlock your phone or use your fingerprint/PIN for larger transactions.
