Can you cancel pending transaction in Google Pay?

If a payment shows ‘pending’ status, it means that you cannot cancel it or take any further action on it. In case the payment has been stuck as 'processing' for a long time, the app will give you the transaction pending message. Once a payment appears as ‘pending’, it generally takes around 3 to 5 days to move to successful status. In certain cases, the payment may appear as ‘failed’.

There have been a number of cases recently where users were reporting issues with failed transactions. In such cases, you will need to raise a dispute from within the app by opening the said transaction.
