As users walk through turnstiles or board buses, it's important for them to be able to pay for
their transit with their phones and complete transactions easily.
Google Wallet allows users to pay on transit terminals without the need to unlock their
device. To pay, the user taps the power button to light the screen, then holds their phone to the
reader. The device can remain locked, and displays a tick on the screen when the transaction is
successful.
To enable this feature, see the
enhanced functionality settings for the skip device unlock terminal settings.
