Apple Pay copies PayPal
Apple (NASDAQ: AMZN) is attempting to improve Apple Pay’s popularity if you take a webpage beyond PayPal’s playbook. , September 13, 2016, Apple updated its operating systems so enable Apple Pay users pays online.
Around 200,000 websites now support Apple Pay, Computerworld reported. To work with the service consumers will have to get the Apple Pay button on-line.
Mac desktop and laptop users should authenticate all purchases; with a finger marks scan on an iPhone, or possibly a double talk about a Mac Watch. That means Mac users with an Android phone will probably be at a complete loss.
Users can also get to complete their shopping in Apple’s Safari browser. Computerworld reported that this next Mac Main system; Sierra, allows visitors to pay with Apple Pay with out a pistol safe scan – after they login with an iCloud account. Since Sierra just isn’t yet available, it appears as if Mac users might have to buy an apple iphone to look shopping on the web.
Or they’re able to just use PayPal; which does not require a fingerprint, or their credit card. One has to wonder why anybody would make use of Apple’s payment solution.
Another major drawback is many major websites; such as the biggest name in US online retail Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), still don’t take Apple Pay. Also refusing to take Apple Pay could 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 can be unlikely that either of these can get for the Apple Pay bandwagon anytime soon.
Venmo Meet Siri
It seems to be if Apple Pay isn’t a serious threat to PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL). Instead PayPal is definitely 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 will also happen.
It looks as if PayPal and not Apple could be the future of online and social networking payment. Apple Pay seems doomed to be a market product. One must wonder if which means that PayPal might soon support Apple Pay.
Apple Pay Coming to Japan, Russia and New Zealand
It seems to be if there can be a bigger marketplace for Apple Pay outside the US than in its home country. A theory Tim Cook generally seems to agree with; Fortune reported that Apple has offers to roll Apple Pay out in Japan, Russia and New Zealand this fall.
