Apple Pay copies PayPal
Apple (NASDAQ: AMZN) is wanting to improve Apple Pay’s popularity by taking a webpage from PayPal’s playbook. , September 13, 2016, Apple updated its systems so enable Apple Pay users can pay on websites online.
Around 200,000 websites now support Apple Pay, Computerworld reported. To utilize the service consumers will need to find the Apple Pay button on a website.
Mac desktop and laptop users will have to authenticate all purchases; using a pistol safe scan with an iPhone, or possibly a double talk about a Mac Watch. Meaning Mac users by having an Android phone is going to be in a hopeless situation.
Users can also get to complete their shopping in Apple’s Safari browser. Computerworld reported that this next Mac Main system; Sierra, will permit visitors to pay with Apple Pay without having a finger print scan – once they login through an iCloud account. Since Sierra is not yet available, it appears as though Mac users might have to buy an iPhone to travel shopping online.
Or they’re able to just use PayPal; which doesn’t require a fingerprint, or their charge card. You have to wonder why anybody would use 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 is the second largest online general merchandise retailer in the us: Walmart.com. Since both Walmart and Amazon are pushing their very own payment solutions it can be unlikely that either of these can get for the Apple Pay bandwagon in the near future.
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 may even say hey Siri send Joe $30 and this will happen.
It looks as if PayPal rather than Apple would be the desolate man online and social media marketing payment. Apple Pay seems doomed to remain a niche product. You have to wonder if which means PayPal might soon support Apple Pay.
Apple Pay Arriving at Japan, Russia and New Zealand
It looks as if there could be a larger industry for Apple Pay away from US than in its home country. A theory Tim Cook generally seems to go along with; Fortune reported that Apple has promises to roll Apple Spend in Japan, Russia and Nz this fall.
