WhatsApp has rolled out in-app payments to a select group of Singapore-based businesses, announced the Meta-owned messaging app on May 9.

The feature is supported by payments service provider Stripe, and will enable Singapore residents with a WhatsApp number registered here to pay using credit cards, debit cards or PayNow.

According to WhatsApp, the “seamless and secure experience” will let people and businesses buy and sell directly on WhatsApp without having to go to a website, open another app or pay in person.
