After several months of testing the preliminary builds of Android 11, Google released the first beta version of the platform. Generally, beta versions tend to be more stable than preliminary builds, but they are not without flaws, so installation is not recommended for average users. According to reports from online sources, Google Pay does not work in the first beta version of Android 11, so it is advisable to avoid installing the OS if you use this payment service.

The Google Pay app is responsible for storing sensitive payment information, so it is crucial to ensure secure interactions between users and this product. However, earlier versions of Android often do not provide the necessary level of security. This is likely why Google Pay is not functioning in the first beta version of Android 11.
It's worth noting that in the fourth preliminary build of Android 11 designed for developers, Google Pay was operational. Now, however, there is an error during the app setup at the first launch when confirming the new bank card. If the service was already configured before updating the software platform, it may work normally for a while, but then it displays the message "Your phone is no longer ready for contactless payments."

It is unlikely that this problem can be resolved independently, so if you are accustomed to using Google Pay, it is better to refrain from installing the beta version of Android 11. Developers are likely to address this issue in one of the upcoming beta versions of the software platform.
