Social network Facebook has gone & added a host of features to its Messenger product.
The most important (we feel) is the addition of Payments to it. Payments can now be integrated into messages, making it easy for customers to shop & purchase without leaving the app. FB said in a post on its developers blog that messages with payments utilize industry-leading controls, while financial information is protected with bank-level encryption.
As of today, payments will be available for select developers in beta; businesses can apply through the Messenger developer Webpage. WFB said it expected to roll out this capability more broadly by the end of the year.
1 of the new features also includes sharing bots & Content with friends. FB said it was enabling seamless sharing of bots & messages from bots to friends on Messenger. People can share any message with friends using the standard Messenger share button next to the message. People can also share bots with their friends using a share option in thread details of the bot thread. All shared messages will include the bot icon, name & CTA that allows people to start a thread with the associated bot.
