In addition to the Tap to Pay announcement, PayPal has disclosed that Apple Pay will be included as a payment option to its checkout solution for merchant platforms. Customers in the United States will be able to link their PayPal and Venmo credit and debit cards to their Apple Wallets beginning next year. In a statement to Bloomberg, PayPal Chief Executive Officer Dan Schulman stated that the business is “extremely excited to be collaborating with Apple to expand [its] products for… PayPal and Venmo merchants and customers.” It’s also worth noting that in its earnings report, PayPal mentioned briefly making Venmo accessible as a checkout option for select Amazon consumers in the United States. The business underlined that the service would be available to all customers in the nation over the upcoming Christmas season.
