Enabling Meta Pay

Meta Pay enables customers to pay quickly and securely through your online store using an accelerated checkout process. When customers are logged on to Facebook, they can speed through checkout with their stored credentials and there is no need for them to sign in again. Plus, payment card numbers are encrypted for secure storage. The customer taps the Meta Pay button and then Meta Pay provides that information to the payment provider.
