Apple Pay copies PayPal
Apple (NASDAQ: AMZN) is intending to increase Apple Pay’s popularity by taking a site from PayPal’s playbook. On Tuesday, September 13, 2016, Apple updated its os so enable Apple Pay users pays online.
Around 200,000 websites now support Apple Pay, Computerworld reported. To make use of the service consumers will need to get the Apple Pay button online.
Mac desktop and laptop users will need to authenticate all purchases; having a pistol safe scan while on an iPhone, or perhaps a double discuss a Mac Watch. Meaning Mac users by having an Android phone is going to be at a complete loss.
Users may also have to complete their shopping in Apple’s Safari browser. Computerworld reported that this next Mac Operating System; Sierra, will allow customers to pay with Apple Pay with out a pistol safe scan – after they login via an iCloud account. Since Sierra is not yet available, it’s as though Mac users might have to buy an apple iphone to go shopping on the web.
Or they could exclusively use PayPal; which does not require a fingerprint, or their plastic card. One must wonder why anybody would use Apple’s payment solution.
Another major drawback is 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 unique payment solutions it really is unlikely that either of them are certain to get about the Apple Pay bandwagon any time soon.
Venmo Meet Siri
It looks as if Apple Pay is not a serious threat to PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL). Instead PayPal is really expanding to Apple; its’ Venmo money-transfer app is integrated with iOS 10.
That means Venmo users can send money using Siri and iMessage, Venmo’s blog claimed. A Venmo user may also say hey Siri send Joe $30 and it will happen.
It looks as if PayPal and not Apple could be the desolate man on the internet and social media marketing payment. Apple Pay seems doomed to remain a distinct segment product. You have to wonder if this means that PayPal might soon support Apple Pay.
Apple Pay Coming to Japan, Russia and New Zealand
