Travis Green, Google Wallet's Product Manager announced today that they now integrate Google Wallet with Gmail. Google is always improving its services and this is indeed one that will be very convenient for users. We all know that online and mobile shoppers continue to increase over the years so this will be beneficial for businesses as well.
What is Google Wallet anyway?
According to Wiki, Google Wallet is a mobile payment system developed by Google that allows its users to store debit cards, credit cards, loyalty cards, and gift cards among other things, as well as redeeming sales promotions on their mobile phone.
Pretty much clear. Or in other words - a competitor to Paypal.
The Integration:
So if you want to send money using Gmail, just hover on the attachment paperclip and click the "$" icon to attach money to you email. Just enter the amount you want to send and click "send". That easy!

This feature (sending money through Gmail) is currently available only in desktop version (so I may blog once the App comes out). However, you can still send money from Google Wallet and access from wallet.google.com on your laptop or mobile phone.
Of course Google Wallet promises that it will also cover users with the Purchase Protection Policy.
Additional notes: This is not a fully rolled-out feature and is coming to U.S. Gmail users over the coming months. Applicable only to users over 18 years old.
