Be careful: paying with Google Pay is extremely easy and the default setting is monthly recurrence. If you're not logged in, the only way to cancel (as far as I know) is by sending an email, which is incredibly precarious.
By design
Worth noting the 2:1 match is only for recurring donations. The graphic does not mention that
> When you start a recurring donation of $25 or more in September, your initial gift will be matched 2:1.
Any rules for how quickly you can cancel one and it still counts as recurring?
You can go to play store subscriptions and cancel there right ?
Not if Google Pay has been used as the transaction agent. It's not a Google Play subscription.

in those situations, especially if the business is unresponsive, i just keep charging back until they stop. if i can subscribe easily, i should be able to cancel just as easily :)
Well, you can't if you paid using a debit card, like I did. Silly me.
You often still can actually. Call your bank

Debit cards can do chargebacks just as credit cards can do. That's a feature of Visa and Mastercard (and others). If your bank refuses, complain to the card network. Oh and consider changing banks, that's really unacceptable in 2026 and shows an anti customer stance.

This makes Google more powerful. I don't want to yield money via any Google services ever.
