You paying signifies intent. If I use Google Pay to pay for something, I've shown that I agree with the charge. The signature is just useless hassle. I've had to do it it twice in my life and they never seemed to be pens around just when you need them...

- sgc 9y agoYou are signing a contract to pay. It's clearer than just vaguely signifying intent.
