WhatsApp Launches Payment Within App In Singapore
After the launch in India and Brazil, WhatsApp is reportedly launching making payments within a chat in Singapore.
The tech company is said to have collaborated with Stripe, a digital payment company, to introduce the feature in the region.
According to reports, WhatsApp has built this payment feature using Stripe Connect and Stripe Checkout solutions, making in-app payments available online and offline.
Customers will now be able to pay businesses using credit cards, debit cards, or Singapore’s PayNow fund transfer system.
However, Meta said that the feature is only available to a few businesses at the moment but intends to expand the availability to more merchants over the coming months.
This feature can be set up by businesses through WhatsApp Business which will guide them on getting a Stripe account too.
