But you also don't know what Facebook, the company belonging to the most widely used messaging app, can do. WhatsApp stories, GIFs, Stickers and now, mobile payments. Soon you will be able to send money through WhatsApp thanks to Facebook Pay
Mark Zuckerberg's company has announced Facebook Pay, a new mobile payment service that will allow us to pay and send money through the company's three platforms: Facebook, Instagram and, of course, WhatsApp.This service will come later, but we already know how it will work. The system will integrate perfectly with both applications, and we will not only be able to send money to our friends and family, but also buy or contact products and have a more intuitive experience with customer service. To send a payment we just have to click on the Facebook Pay option, which will appear in the conversation, and select an amount The user will receive it instantly.
The platform synchronizes with the main credit and debit cards from different entities. We still do not know which ones will be available in Spain, since this service has begun to be activated in the United States. In addition to this we can also configure our PayPal account.
Not just for sending and receiving money. We can use Facebook Pay to pay in different businesses and third-party services, as if it were another payment method.It seems that only online and not in physical stores. At least for the moment. Of course, Facebook will not automatically activate this method in third-party services, we will have to do it manually. We can see the payment history and all transactions from the application.
On Instagram it can also be used to buy products within the application.
When will Facebook Pay come to WhatsApp?
The service has started in the United States, and the company has already announced that it will reach other countries later, and that it will be soon Available on WhatsApp and Instagram. We will have to wait to find out when it arrives in Spain.
