[Android Central Question]

How do you add the option to use google pay from the lock screen instead of unlocking the phone and opening the app. Hope someone can help. Thanks

You shouldn't need to open the app, you should be able to just unlock the phone and move it near the reader. If you want to access the app to select which of several cards you want to use, you must unlock the phone first. This is a security requirement, likely requested by the banks supporting Android Pay.
