Apple Pay copies PayPal
Apple (NASDAQ: AMZN) is attempting to increase Apple Pay’s popularity through a website out of PayPal’s playbook. On Tuesday, September 13, 2016, Apple updated its systems so enable Apple Pay users will probably pay online on a website.
Around 200,000 websites now support Apple Pay, Computerworld reported. To make use of the service consumers will have to obtain the Apple Pay button online.
Mac desktop and laptop users must authenticate all purchases; having a finger marks scan while on an iPhone, or possibly a double discuss a Mac Watch. Meaning Mac users with the Android phone will probably be in a hopeless situation.
Users will also gain to perform 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 pistol safe scan – after they login through an iCloud account. Since Sierra isn’t yet available, it appears just as if Mac users may need to buy an apple iphone to go shopping online.
Or they can don’t use anything but PayPal; which does not need a fingerprint, or their credit card. One must wonder why anybody would make use of Apple’s payment solution.
Another major drawback is 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 may be the second largest online general merchandise retailer in america: Walmart.com. Since both Walmart and Amazon are pushing their unique payment solutions it is unlikely that either of which can get around the Apple Pay bandwagon any time soon.
Venmo Meet Siri
It appears to be if Apple Pay is not a serious threat to PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL). Instead PayPal is actually 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 may also say hey Siri send Joe $30 and it’ll happen.
It seems to be if PayPal instead of Apple could be the desolate man online and social media payment. Apple Pay seems doomed to keep a niche product. One has to ponder whether which means PayPal might soon support Apple Pay.
Apple Pay Visiting Japan, Russia and New Zealand
It appears to be if there may be a greater industry for Apple Pay outside of the US than in its home country. A theory Tim Cook generally seems to go along with; Fortune reported that Apple has offers to roll Apple Spend in Japan, Russia and New Zealand this fall.
