MENLO PARK, Calif. — Meta has completed the integration of Facebook Pay into all its applications. The move allows users to make payments seamlessly across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and other Meta-owned platforms. This step aims to simplify transactions while maintaining security standards.

Facebook Pay, first launched in 2019, originally served as a payment method for Facebook and Messenger. After rebranding to Meta in 2021, the company prioritized unifying services across its apps. Now, users can send money, shop, or donate through a single payment system without switching platforms.

The update ensures cross-platform consistency. Users linking payment details once can access the service everywhere. Payments work the same way whether on Instagram Shops, Facebook Marketplace, or WhatsApp Business chats. Meta stated the system uses existing encryption tools to protect financial data.

A Meta spokesperson emphasized convenience. “People want to pay quickly without worrying about app boundaries. This integration removes friction.” Users can track payment history centrally, simplifying budget management.

The feature is available in countries where Facebook Pay operates. Meta plans to expand availability but did not share timelines. Users must update apps to access the latest version.

Security measures include authentication steps like passwords or biometric checks. Meta confirmed no changes to transaction fees. Purchases on apps remain free, but donations may include processing charges.

Small businesses using Meta platforms welcomed the update. One retailer noted, “Customers can now pay through WhatsApp or Instagram without leaving. It streamlines sales.”

Meta continues merging infrastructure across its apps. Recent changes include cross-platform messaging and shared privacy settings. Analysts say payment integration strengthens Meta’s ecosystem, encouraging longer user engagement.

The company faces regulatory scrutiny over data practices. Meta assured compliance with regional financial laws. User consent is required for payment storage, and data is not shared for advertising.
