Apple Pay copies PayPal
Apple (NASDAQ: AMZN) is wanting to improve Apple Pay’s popularity through a page out of PayPal’s playbook. , September 13, 2016, Apple updated its os so enable Apple Pay users pays on websites online.
Around 200,000 websites now support Apple Pay, Computerworld reported. To work with the service consumers will have to obtain the Apple Pay button online.
Mac desktop and laptop users will have to authenticate all purchases; having a finger print scan on an iPhone, or a double discuss a Mac Watch. That means Mac users having an Android phone will be in a hopeless situation.
Users can also get to accomplish their shopping in Apple’s Safari browser. Computerworld reported that the next Mac Os; Sierra, allows people to pay with Apple Pay with out a finger marks scan – as long as they login through an iCloud account. Since Sierra is just not yet available, it looks as though Mac users may need to buy an apple iphone to go online shopping.
Or they could just use PayPal; which does not need a fingerprint, or their charge card. One has to wonder why anybody would make use of Apple’s payment solution.
Another major drawback is always that many major websites; like the biggest name in US online retail Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), still don’t take Apple Pay. Also refusing to look at Apple Pay will be the second largest online general merchandise retailer in the usa: Walmart.com. Since both Walmart and Amazon are pushing their particular payment solutions it’s unlikely that either of these is certain to get on the Apple Pay bandwagon any time soon.
Venmo Meet Siri
It seems to be if Apple Pay is not an serious threat to PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL). Instead PayPal is in fact expanding to Apple; its’ Venmo money-transfer app is now integrated with iOS 10.
That means Venmo users can send money using Siri and iMessage, Venmo’s blog claimed. A Venmo user can even say hey Siri send Joe $30 and it will happen.
It looks as if PayPal instead of Apple might be the desolate man on the web and social media payment. Apple Pay seems doomed to be a market product. One must wonder if because of this PayPal might soon support Apple Pay.
