#Instagram payments

Meta is now making it possible to directly make purchases from small businesses in Instagram chats with its new "Payments in Chat" feature. The new Payments in Chat feature is available when making purchases from "qualified small businesses", according to Meta. This will allow users to message the business and chat about any customizations, place the order, send payments, and even track their order all within the same chat thread. For small businesses, this enables them to directly coordinate purchases with their customers, answer questions, confirm purchase details, create a payment request with item description and price, and collect payments all within the customer specific chat thread.
