How to Use Meta Pay for Your Business

by Regina Manulid • October 20, 2023

It’s been while since Meta rebranded Facebook Pay into Meta Pay, linking the payment service to their plans for Metaverse expansion. Essentially, Meta Pay allows users to send and receive money, make donations, and purchase goods and services across Meta’s social media platforms. If you haven’t incorporated it into your online storefront, you might be missing out. How can you leverage it to grow a brand, reach new customers, and increase sales? Let’s get into the details with this blog. 

What is Meta Pay?

Meta Pay is a payment method that allows you to accept payments from customers using their preferred method, be it cards or PayPal. When a user inputs their payment details on the platform, they no longer have to enter that information every time they make a transaction on a Meta social network.

Benefits of Meta Pay

One of the benefits of using this payment option is that you can offer your customers a fast and easy checkout process without leaving the app or platform they are using. For example, if a customer sees something they like on your Facebook Shop or Instagram Shop, they can tap on the product and pay with Meta Pay without having to enter their payment information or switch to another app. This reduces friction and hassle that often leads to abandoned checkout and lost sales.

Another benefit of using Meta Pay is that you can tap the massive user base of Meta’s platforms and apps. As of the second quarter of 2023, there were roughly 3 billion monthly active users on Facebook. And while availability varies from country to country, there are 243.56 million users in the USA alone as of 2023. Instagram has roughly 2.3 billion monthly active users, while WhatsApp has over 2 billion. Even just a fraction of those figures using Meta Pay is nothing to sneeze at. By offering Meta Pay as a payment option, you have access to a huge market of people who are already familiar with Meta’s products.

For example, for Meta partners, the Meta Pay button is available as a checkout option, adding even more places in which people can shop and pay seamlessly and securely online.

Using Meta Pay for Business

If you have a presence on Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp, you’ve accomplished step one. After that, setting up a Facebook Shop, Instagram Shop, or a WhatsApp Catalog is the easiest way to incorporate Meta Pay into your strategy. These are free tools that allow you to create a customized storefront where you can display and sell products, connect with customers, and manage orders and inventory. However, availability of these services varies from country to country. You can check what’s available in yours here.

Additionally, merchants on ecommerce platforms that are partners with Meta have the ability to add Meta Pay checkout button to their online store, extending the seamless experience beyond Meta’s websites.

Meta Pay has been steadily rolled out to more platforms and countries, and we’ll be on the lookout for any updates.
