Facebook has been making a multitude of improvements to Facebook Messenger in recent months. Months ago it introduced the possibility of sending money between users. Although this feature required users to enter their credit card number because there was no support for external media.
The social network seeks to promote mobile payments on Facebook Messenger, for this reason, they announce an interesting collaboration that will facilitate these payments. Who are they partnering with? Nothing more and nothing less than with PayPal.
PayPal is one of the most famous payment platforms in the world. This summer it partnered with Skype to introduce payments into the app, and now it’s time for payments to hit Facebook’s instant messaging app.
This is why PayPal is integrated into Facebook Messenger. This way you can make payments to your friends without having to leave the conversation. Or also receive money from your friends. A very comfortable option that will facilitate mobile payments. How do payments work on Facebook Messenger?
The configuration of the PayPal account in Messenger is very simple. You only need to enter any conversation and click on the + symbol. In this way, we access the payment section and then we select the amount of money we want to send. Then Messenger will ask us to choose a payment method, so then we have to select PayPal. In this way, we can make the payment in a simple way.
At the moment this feature is only available in the United States, where it is currently in the testing phase. Nothing is known about its launch in other countries, although given the great popularity of PayPal and a large number of Facebook Messenger users, it is expected to arrive soon. What we do know is that this option to make payments is possible for both iOS and Android. What do you think of this function?
