Facebook has launched ‘Facebook Pay’, to allow members/users to make “convenient & secure payments across Facebook, Messenger, Instagram & WhatsApp.
FB announced on its official blog that people can use this new facility to shop, donate to causes & send money to each other.
With Facebook Pay you can:
- Add your preferred payment method once then use Facebook Pay where available to make payments & purchases across apps, instead of having to re-enter your payment information each time
- Set up Facebook Pay app-by-app, or choose to set it up for use across apps (where available)
- View payment history, manage payment methods & update your settings in one place
- Get real-time customer support via live chat in the US (& in more places around the world in the future)
- Clearly understand which payment services are part of Facebook
Facebook Pay will begin rolling out on Facebook & Messenger this week in the US for fundraisers, in-game purchases, event tickets, person-to-person payments on Messenger & purchases from select Pages & businesses on Facebook Marketplace. Over time, we plan to bring Facebook Pay to more people and places, including for use across Instagram and WhatsApp.
