Google is getting a new update in Chrome to make online shopping more reliable. The company is starting to roll out a new autofill feature for virtual card users. This will also speed up the purchase process by filling in the card details for users.

Reliable shopping with virtual card in Chrome

Google says that with the new autofill option it will launch, an extra layer of security will be added when making online payments. The company states that it will offer a similar use case as a contactless payment experience in a physical store, eliminating the need to manually enter card details for each purchase.

Users will be able to manage their virtual card details at pay.google.com and enable and disable the feature for eligible cards, as well as view their virtual card numbers and track their recent transactions. Google can use virtual cards for one-time purchases as well as for subscriptions.

Google is working with Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Capital One for its new feature. The company will first activate the feature for Android and desktop users in the US, and then it will come to iOS.
