Twitter Has Introduced The Buy Button To Enable In-Tweet Transactions

By Bilal Hamdan


One of the best things about Twitter is that this company is always coming up with innovative strategies to help people that have e-commerce businesses. They have now enabled a handy buy button which you can use for in-tweet transactions which makes making money on the web so much easier. You can also use this on any smartphone, including androids and Apple phones, and is being used by a select few individuals during this initial testing phase. Partners such as Fancy and also Stripe are taking part in this initial testing.



When people tap the buy button they will be able to enter shipping and payment information. After that the order information will be sent to the seller. Users will not have to re-enter their information for a future purchase as it will be stored.

Although it is considered an early step in regard to improving Twitters functionality, it shows great promise and makes it even easier for people to use their mobile devices when doing transactions. Users will get access to merchandise and offers that are not available anywhere but Twitter, and you can access all of this using iOS and android phones.

It is a bold move that is not unlike Twitter and its ability to move into new territory when it comes to e-commerce solutions that can make it easier for people that are in business, and also consumers, in trying to purchase products from their phones simply tapping buttons in order to buy products and services that they find online.

The only problem might be privacy. If a person does not trust Twitter, the person will not want to give Twitter his financial information. He will be afraid to do so and would want to provide it to the seller directly.

Twitter will need to guarantee individuals that it is secure to purchase merchandise this way. Twitter will have assure these shoppers that their details are going straight to the business and that it won't be used for something else. It is extremely important that this social media site does this so shoppers do not have to be concerned that it will be in unscrupulous hands.
