The instant communications platform of the Facebook group, WhatsApp, introduced the payment system about a year ago and first reached users in India. However, its availability has spread to regions such as Brazil, although it remains absent in much of Europe, as well as in Portugal. However, we have news for this feature!
After we realized, last August, that WhatsApp has started and there is a new button to send funds quickly through the messaging application, directly through the chat windows, through a new button integrated in the toolbar.
WhatsApp Pay is the payment platform for this messaging application
As the publication progresses WABetaInfo, A new reward system is coming to this messaging platform. In practice, we will have refund of money when making some payments with the WhatsApp Pay system, serving as an incentive for its use and adoption.
It should be noted, however, that this reward system will only be applied in countries where the platform is available, being a way to encourage its generalization. The news was seen in version 2.21.20.3 of WhatsApp for Android and iOS.
We can actually see the message that refers to “Get a refund on your next payment. “In summary, when making a payment with this platform, users can receive rewards such as, for example, a partial credit against payments.
Rewards when using the WhatsApp Pay payment system
Although the above screenshot does not specify it, the post WABetaInfo fill in some of the gaps. According to this source, within 48 hours after successful use and payment through WhatsApp Pay, the user will receive some refund of money.
First of all, this stimulus will be available in India, limited to about 10 rupees, about 10 cents. However, this value may change depending on the adoption of the platform and other provisions of the company.
In summary, we are facing a strong stimulus for the adoption of this platform, which still has limited availability. It is also a sign of the company’s intentions to popularize the system, also wanting to make it reach new markets.
Finally, this modality is not currently available in Portugal, with no predictions for it in the near future.
There is more news on the way to WhatsApp, also for Portugal
Although the WhatsApp Pay platform is not yet within our grasp, we still have other news on the way. Among these we can highlight the improvements in the preview function of clips and audio files before they are sent.
In addition, we also have the improvement in some aspects of the interface, with the elimination of some shortcuts that are not used frequently, such as “messaging rooms”.
