How to add a payment method for your purchases on Facebook

A moment ago Facebook has launched its own store in Europe, called Marketplace. Through this store, social network users will be able to make purchases without leaving the social network, with products that other people in their area are selling, although you can search for products anywhere. To pay for these purchases, you must add a payment method to your account.

Last year has come the payment system specific to the social network, called Facebook Pay. If you want to make purchases on the social network or be able to make donations, which is also very common on the social network, you will need to add a payment method in the social network system. We show you how it can be done.

FACEBOOK has announced its new payment system, called Facebook Pay, which will work in all of its applications: Messenger, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram …

Add a payment method on Facebook

Facebook Pay is the payment system to be used in the social network, although this system must be associated with a specific payment method. The social network gives us the possibility to link our PayPal account or we can also add a credit or debit card. By already having an associated means of payment, during a purchase or a donation, the process will be faster, since we will not have to enter payment data, you just have to click on the button to make the transaction.

To add a payment method to our account, the steps to follow are:

Open the social network app on your phone.
Click on the three horizontal bands at the top.
Go to Settings and Privacy.
Go to Settings.
Go to the section called Facebook Pay.
Click on the method you want to use (PayPal or card).
Enter card details.
If you chose PayPal, link the account.

With these steps you will already have a payment method that you can use on the social network. If you are donating to one of the many ongoing causes, or want to shop in the integrated social network Marketplace, you can do so easily. The process is simpler, as all you need to do is click on the Buy button to confirm the purchase.
