Facebook Messenger users can now send/receive money through PayPal

Himanshu, 21 October 2017

PayPal has announced that they've expanded their collaboration with Facebook by adding their service for P2P payments in the social networking giant's Messenger application.

To access the feature - in both one-on-one chats and group chats - tap on the blue plus icon, then select the green colored Payments button, and then select PayPal to send funds.

The feature is currently only rolling out in the US and limited to iOS, with Android support coming soon.

Meanwhile, PayPal also introduced a customer service bot for Messenger, allowing you to seamlessly receive payment and account support directly in the messaging app.

To get it you have to search for PayPal in the search field and type a message and the bot will assist you with your request.
