Summary
TikTok is reportedly testing a new payment feature that would allow users to make purchases directly within the app. The feature, if rolled out, would utilize TikTok Pay, a service already available in Southeast Asia for TikTok Shop purchases. The news was first reported by Semafor, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
TikTok is testing a payment feature, because what’s a social media platform without a payment system, right? The feature would use TikTok Pay, because who needs PayPal or Apple Pay when you can have TikTok Pay? It’s not like users already have a dozen other ways to make purchases online.
