Most of us are familiar with Facebook Messenger, a mobile messaging app that conveniently connects to your private Facebook inbox. But what is ManyChat? ManyChat is a Messenger marketing tool that allows you to create a bot for marketing, sales, and support.

Your ManyChat bot can communicate with customers through Messenger similarly to how Google Assistant works, only you can have your bot market specific things related to your business. For instance, if you own a restaurant, your bot may ask your subscribers (garnered from your Messenger audience) if they’d like a link to your menu. If they message back “yes,” the bot would proceed to send them the link.

Payments with ManyChat

To take it one step further, ManyChat now allows you to make and accept payments. All you have to do is set up payments in your bot settings and then your ManyChat bot will give your Messenger audience the option to “Shop Now.” When your audience selects the link, your bot then displays your pre-set products in a swipeable catalog format. Beneath your products, you can include “Buy it for [PRICE]” call-to-action buttons. When customers select the button, they can enter their credit card information and complete their purchase without ever having to exit the Messenger app.

According to the ManyChat blog, as an advertiser, you can do the following with the new Payments feature:

  • Test payments flows with a test credit card (test card number: 4242 4242 4242 4242)
  • Pre-fill the user’s email in the payment details tab
  • Accept payments from subscribers in Facebook Messenger
  • Confirm a payment (automatic in-bot confirmation, email)
  • Receive notifications on successful payments
  • View a list of successful and failed transactions
  • Contact subscribers after either failed or successful transactions
  • Attach specific actions based on the success of a purchase (e.g., add Tags, send content, subscribe to Sequence, etc.)
