Instagram quietly rolls out native payments in the US

Instagram seems to have added the ability to make payments right from within the app, at least for its US users. In the Instagram settings, there’s a new option to add a credit or debit card to your account. The payment option comes with three tabs. One is an Activity section to show what you’ve purchased. Another is Profile, where you can add your cards and contact information. And last is Security, where you can add a PIN to prevent any unauthorized purchases on your account. The feature doesn’t seem to be rolling out for most businesses, though. But Android Police points out some restaurants that work with reservation app Resy already have the option to pay for a booking via Instagram. This move could be a big thing for brands looking to capitalize on impulsiveness of some people when it comes to online shopping.
