Apple Pay copies PayPal
Apple (NASDAQ: AMZN) is trying to improve Apple Pay’s popularity through a page beyond PayPal’s playbook. On Tuesday, September 13, 2016, Apple updated its systems so enable Apple Pay users will pay on websites online.
Around 200,000 websites now support Apple Pay, Computerworld reported. To utilize the service consumers must find the Apple Pay button on-line.
Mac desktop and laptop users must authenticate all purchases; with a finger print scan with an iPhone, or a double discuss a Mac Watch. Which means Mac users with the Android phone will likely be out of luck.
Users will also have to perform their shopping in Apple’s Safari browser. Computerworld reported the next Mac Operating System; Sierra, allows customers to pay with Apple Pay without a finger marks scan – if they login through an iCloud account. Since Sierra isn’t yet available, it looks as if Mac users may need to buy an apple iphone to look internet shopping.
Or they could just use PayPal; which does not require a fingerprint, or their credit card. You have to wonder why anybody would work with Apple’s payment solution.
Another major drawback is always that many major websites; such as biggest name in US online retail Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), still don’t take Apple Pay. Also refusing to consider Apple Pay is the second largest online general merchandise retailer in america: Walmart.com. Since both Walmart and Amazon are pushing their particular payment solutions it’s unlikely that either of these will get around the Apple Pay bandwagon soon.
Venmo Meet Siri
It looks as if Apple Pay is very little serious threat to PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL). Instead PayPal is definitely 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 even say hey Siri send Joe $30 and it’ll happen.
It looks as if PayPal rather than Apple could be the desolate man on the internet and social networking payment. Apple Pay seems doomed to be a niche product. You have to ponder whether which means PayPal might soon support Apple Pay.
Apple Pay Arriving at Japan, Russia and New Zealand
It seems to be if there may be a more impressive marketplace for Apple Pay away from US in comparison to its home country. A theory Tim Cook seems to agree with; Fortune reported that Apple has plans to roll Apple Shell out in Japan, Russia and New Zealand this fall.
