MICROSOFT TEAMS PAYMENTS APP IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

Wed 03 May 2023:

Microsoft has released a new Payments app that will make it simple for small businesses to manage and collect payments while in a meeting from within Teams on their desktop or mobile device, IANS reported.

Users in the US and Canada will be able to access the app at first.

A real estate instructor can do the same for license-renewal sessions, for example, as a lawyer or financial counselor, and a teacher can do the same for tutoring sessions.

Moreover, the company said that it has partnered with some of the largest players in the payments space to combine the core collaboration capabilities in Teams with powerful commerce features.

“With a mutual focus on helping small businesses prosper, we are excited to partner with GoDaddy, PayPal, and Stripe to help you increase your revenue and make it even easier for customers to interact with you,” Microsoft said in a blogpost.

The app is available in public preview in the Teams Store for Teams Essentials and Microsoft 365 business subscribers at no charge.

Stripe and PayPal are both now available within the app, while GoDaddy Payments is coming soon, Microsoft said.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced the integration of Snapchat Lenses in Teams to make the virtual meet more expressive, which will be available to users globally starting this week.

“A collection of 20 plus of the most popular Snapchat Lenses are available to Teams customers globally, giving you more ways to express yourself, build relationships and let your meetings shine,” Microsoft said in a blogpost.
