Add Venmo as a payment button to an existing Checkout integration to allow payers to checkout with Venmo.

When you integrate with Venmo, your payers get:

  • A streamlined checkout process.
  • The ability to split purchases among friends.
  • The option to share purchase information on a social feed.

How it works

Your existing PayPal buttons display a Venmo button. When payers select Venmo, they can pay in the Venmo app.

Payers can use Venmo on the same pages they can use PayPal, including your product page, cart page, and checkout page.

Note: Payers must have the Venmo app installed.

Your payers switch to the Venmo app to authorize and complete the payment.
