Payments inside bot

(Michel Morelli) #1

Hi, I have read this article:

http://tysonisham.com/how-to-accept-payments-inside-messenger-with-manychat-chat-bots-2017-08
Author writes about how to add a “pay now” button that open “paypal” and he does not use the payment via facebook (article’s title is not so correct IMHO).

Is this possibile in flowxo ?

Hi Michel,

This would indeed be possible within Flow XO. :slight_smile:

Looking over the link everything really is set up in Paypal itself. To be able to access the Paypal tools you do need either a business account or a Premier Paypal account. You are then creating a link in Paypal that includes all the details - price of item etc.

Within your bot setup you would then require a Custom Request action which uses a URL button which points at the paypal button link you have just created. This will then open a Webview which the user can pay for the item via paypal.

I hope this helps. :thumbsup:
