Venmo is now a valid payment method on Amazon ahead of the holiday shopping season. According to a public statement from PayPal, the company that owns Venmo, specific customers will be able to shop online very quickly, and the payment method will be available nationwide by Black Friday.
The vice president of Amazon Worldwide Payments claims that the company wants to provide customers with convenient, user-friendly, and secure payment choices. The crazy holiday season is the ideal time for that. The company aims to meet the requirements and preferences of every Amazon client, whether that means accepting cash, buying now and paying later, or the new Venmo payment option. He also said they were happy to keep giving customers more choices for how and when to pay for their orders.
What is Venmo and how purchase on Amazon with it?
The two big companies, PayPal and Amazon, started their collaboration last year. A well-known mobile payment tool called Venmo enables you to make online and offline purchases, send money to friends, and accept funds from them. You may now use Venmo to pay for your Amazon orders in addition to your standard credit or debit card, and you can make it your usual payment option with the online store. You can use your Venmo balance or the connected bank account to pay for your Amazon purchases, and there are no extra fees charged when using Venmo at the checkout. According to the Amazon and Venmo Protection Programs, transactions are safe.
We’ll describe how to pay for your Amazon orders on a mobile device using Venmo.
How to add Venmo as an Amazon payment method
You must first download the Venmo app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and sign up for a Venmo account in case you don’t have one.
When you’ve signed up for a Venmo account, follow these instructions to add it to Amazon at checkout:
- Click on Select a payment method.
- Click on Add a Venmo account.
- The Venmo app will launch, and when requested, you’ll need to give Amazon access to use Venmo for your order.
- On the Amazon confirmation page, you can choose Venmo as the default payment option for future orders.
You may modify your Amazon payment choices in the Venmo app by going to Settings and selecting Connected Businesses. The back-end technology that Amazon designed and its A-to-z Guarantee both protect your transactions. Moreover, selected purchases are covered by Venmo Purchase Protection.
