WhatsApp Pay makes debut in Brazil after two years of testing in India

WhatsApp Pay first started testing in India two years back with the hope that the country will be the first to start using the technology. However, it seems the company made a global debut of the feature in another developing country, Brazil.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a post on Monday, said Brazil is the first country where it is widely rolling out payments in WhatsApp.

“Today we’re starting to launch payments for people using WhatsApp in Brazil. We’re making sending and receiving money as easy as sharing photos,” he said. He also claimed that the small businesses will be able to make sales right within WhatsApp. “To do this, we’re building on Facebook Pay, which provides a secure and consistent way to make payments across our apps,” he added.
