Known as Meta Pay, it will enable the social media app’s 1 billion users to inquire and talk about product customisations and finalise the purchase, all in one place.The feature will make checkout even easier and ensure payments are securely processed, said Meta on its website.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced Meta Pay to users in an Instagram post. “You can now buy products from small businesses and track your order in chat on Instagram in the US. Pay with Meta Pay and checkout in a few taps,” he wrote.
