By leveraging Stripe’s Connect and Checkout solutions, WhatsApp will provide Singapore customers and businesses with a new feature that allows them to buy and sell directly on WhatsApp, without having to go to another website or app to complete the transaction.
The new feature will support payment methods including credit and debit cards and PayNow, a real-time payments method used widely in Singapore.
Local businesses will be able to avail the new feature through the WhatsApp Business Platform, which will include a Stripe account. The feature is currently available to a small number of Singapore-based businesses, with a wider rollout planned in the coming months.
