    Default Venmo

    I'd be curious to know if any business owners are using Venmo to receive (or make) payments. It seems like their focus is C to C so I don't know that they'll have a Zen Cart payment module anytime soon (but I could be wrong).

    I was told by Venmo yesterday... if the customer selects PayPal as an option to pay, then Venmo can be a choice once they're at checkout. It won't show up as a Venmo button, but if the vendor has the option turned on, they can pay with Venmo. I asked for an example because I haven't seen it on any of the carts I've looked at that take PayPal as a payment, but maybe those vendors have not turned it on yet. I could not find ANY info at the link she provided.

    Here's what she actually said: "we also offer the ability to accept Venmo through PayPal’s online checkout process, where users can select Venmo as a payment method after choosing to pay with PayPal. Please keep in mind that this option will not add a separate Venmo payment button on your website, but instead, is an option for the customer after selecting PayPal as a payment method.

    This option is automatically available to PayPal merchants. You can find more information here: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/merchant"

    This is an old thread, but I think Venmo has grown substantially and would benefit merchants immensely.

    It is easy to clone the Zelle payment module. Just change everything from Zelle to Venmo.

    Both are working in my online store: https://bayoucables.com

    I've been using for a while for face to face local sales. It's very easy to use and there are no fees.

    Venmo is apparently owned by PayPal. As I'm looking for alternatives to PayPal, I can't use Venmo

    There's really no connection between the two - I'd encourage you to give it a shot.
