PayPal and Facebook are expanding their integrations today with the launch of an extension for Messenger that allows PayPal sellers to invoice buyers directly through private messaging. The feature is ideal for use with Facebook\u2019s numerous Buy and Sell groups as well as Facebook Marketplace, in addition to being an easy way to send PayPal invoices in general.<\/p>\n

The launch comes on the heels of last month\u2019s debut of person-to-person PayPal payments<\/a> in Messenger, and the arrival of PayPal\u2019s first customer service Messenger bot for handling customer questions and requests for help.<\/p>\n

The two companies had been working closely together prior to that, too, including through a partnership announced last year<\/a> that allowed U.S. customers to shop online merchants via their Messenger bots, then transact<\/a> in the app via PayPal.<\/p>\n

This time, the focus is on shifting small business transactions and those between buyers and sellers into Messenger.<\/p>\n

The new PayPal chat extension allows a seller to create and send their invoice without leaving the their conversation, so the buyer can act on it immediately. To use the extension, sellers open the extension tray in Messenger, select PayPal, then create a simple invoice by filling in details like item name, description, price and quantity. The invoice can also include a photo.<\/p>\n

When the buyer receives the invoice, they just press \u201cPay with PayPal\u201d to complete the transaction. If they\u2019re signed into OneTouch, they can checkout without having to re-authenticate with their password.<\/p>\n

Like other PayPal transactions, those taking place over Messenger are covered by\u00a0PayPal Purchase Protection for Buyers<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 meaning, when the invoice is issued and paid, buyers are protected.<\/p>\n

PayPal says the Messenger integration is only one of other partnerships it has planned to help make commerce easier wherever transactions are occurring, but doesn\u2019t have any other deals it\u2019s preparing to announce at this time.<\/p>\n

    The launch could have a notable impact on how business is done on Facebook. The social network said last fall that its Buy and Sell groups were visited by\u00a0some\u00a0450 million people monthly<\/a>; and Messenger today has 1.3 billion<\/a> monthly users. Meanwhile, Facebook has recently been expanding its investment in Marketplace, having just added dedicated sections for cars<\/a> and housing rentals<\/a>, in an effort to better compete with Craigslist.<\/p>\n

    At the time, the company said search volume in\u00a0Marketplace\u00a0had grown 3X globally<\/a> since the start of 2017, with 18 million listings being added in the U.S. alone in May. There was also 77 percent growth in unique conversations between buyers and sellers over the first half of this year, Facebook noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    That leaves room for a product like PayPal\u2019s to aid with transactions, given Facebook\u2019s lack of interest<\/a> in building out a payments business itself.<\/p>\n
