# Pay with Venmo (/v5/venmo/overview)

Add a Venmo payment button to your Checkout integration. Enhance the checkout experience with streamlined processes and social sharing features.



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 seamless checkout process.
* Choice of any payment method added to the Venmo wallet.
* The ability to split purchases among friends.
* The option to share purchase information on a social feed.

## How it works [#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 use PayPal, including your product page, cart page, and checkout page.
