Here are five highlights of last week’s technology and how they can impact your business. Do you miss them?
1 — Facebook Pay Buttons will be available in online stores in August.
Facebook announced last week: from August – it will expand its Facebook subscription to support web-based purchases and transactions. Pay Facebook Allows customers in the United States to purchase items from Shoplight. When users visit a vendor using the platform, they can purchase something with a secure PayPal account or card using the Facebook payment key. In the past, Facebook payments were available through WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. (Source: Ingate)
Why this is important for your business:
Linn In October, I interviewed Rich Raoon, vice president of Facebook Small Business (you can listen to the full discussion here) and he said that the company is expanding its e-commerce activities significantly. He was not joking. Facebook is competing with Amazon and other ecommerce platforms and can be a great option for your products if your audience and customers are active on the social media platform.
2 – Fastbook is introducing new hardware to increase mobile payment offerings for small businesses.
QuickBooks is launching QuickBooks Card Reader, as contactless payments have become more prominent since the outbreak. The QuickBooks card reader is a new payment hardware for small business owners. (Source: Business Wire)
Why this is important for your business:
This is important news for Facebook users – this innovative tool can work in conjunction with QuickBooks Payments and is a recent offering designed to help them get paid faster, both remotely and in the office.
3 — Papal is increasing purchasing restrictions for the cryptocurrency.
PayPal has increased its IPO purchase limit to meet the rapidly changing customer needs, according to an announcement released last week. PayPal users in the United States will be given a $ 100,000 entry limit as they move forward. PayPal launched its cryptocurrency platform in the United States in October last year and has been actively involved with customers to better understand their desire to develop a secure and trusted platform for users to register, sell, buy and buy.

Why this is important for your business:
PayPal continues to expand its commitment to securities. This is something to stay here. We are still telling our customers to be very careful with digital currencies – markets are highly volatile. But I believe digital currencies are the future and should not be ignored as viable alternatives to pay and receive.
4 – Bill.com is getting leading Invoice 2go into accounting software for small businesses.
Cloud-based software provider Bill.com has announced last week that it has acquired software company Invoice2go. Invoice2Go provides small businesses and independent professionals to build their brands, manage payments and invoices and expand their customer base. Through access, Bill.com can provide more robust business experience for businesses, enable businesses to create professional inquiries, connect and engage with their customers, and more.

Through access, Bill.com can provide more robust business experience for businesses, enable businesses to create professional inquiries, connect and engage with their customers, and more.
5 – These are the best free apps for video calling, says Virgin.

Why this is important for your business:
They know a lot about these names. But you also do not know many of these names. It is always good to find alternatives and perhaps one of these platforms is more suitable for your business than the one you are currently using.
