Twitter is Testing a 'Buy' Button [Video]
Posted September 8, 2014 at 1:45pm by iClarified
Twitter has announced that it is testing a way for users to make purchases from their timeline.
Today we are beginning to test a new way for you to discover and buy products on Twitter. For a small percentage of U.S. users (that will grow over time), some Tweets from our test partners will feature a “Buy” button, letting you buy directly from the Tweet.
The company has partnered with Fancy (@fancy), Gumroad (@gumroad), Musictoday (@Musictoday), and Stripe (@stripe) as platforms for the initial test.
After tapping the 'Buy' button, you will get additional product details and be prompted to enter your shipping and payment information. Once that's entered and confirmed, your order information is sent to the merchant for delivery.
