Apple Pay copies PayPal
Apple (NASDAQ: AMZN) is intending to increase Apple Pay’s popularity through a website away from PayPal’s playbook. , September 13, 2016, Apple updated its os’s so enable Apple Pay users will pay on websites.
Around 200,000 websites now support Apple Pay, Computerworld reported. To utilize the service consumers should discover the Apple Pay button on a website.
Mac desktop and laptop users must authenticate all purchases; with a finger print scan while on an iPhone, or possibly a double talk about a Mac Watch. That means Mac users having an Android phone will probably be at a complete loss.
Users can also get to do their shopping in Apple’s Safari browser. Computerworld reported that this next Mac Os; Sierra, allows customers to pay with Apple Pay with out a pistol safe scan – as long as they login through an iCloud account. Since Sierra is not yet available, it’s just as if Mac users might have to buy an iPhone to travel shopping on the web.
Or they are able to just use PayPal; which doesn’t need a fingerprint, or their bank card. One must wonder why anybody would use Apple’s payment solution.
Another major drawback is the fact that many major websites; such as biggest name in US online retail Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), still don’t take Apple Pay. Also refusing to adopt Apple Pay will be the second largest online general merchandise retailer in the us: Walmart.com. Since both Walmart and Amazon are pushing their own payment solutions it really is unlikely that either of these will get around the Apple Pay bandwagon anytime soon.
Venmo Meet Siri
It looks as if Apple Pay is not an serious threat to PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL). Instead PayPal is actually expanding to Apple; its’ Venmo money-transfer app is currently integrated with iOS 10.
That means Venmo users can send money using Siri and iMessage, Venmo’s blog claimed. A Venmo user can also say hey Siri send Joe $30 and it will happen.
It appears to be if PayPal and not Apple would be the future of web social media payment. Apple Pay seems doomed to stay a market product. You have to wonder if which means PayPal might soon support Apple Pay.
