Mark Zuckerberg announced that people across Brazil can pay local small businesses right within a WhatsApp chat, Meta Platforms (META), the parent of WhatsApp, reported in a post to its newsroom. "This seamless and secure checkout experience will be a game-changer for people and small businesses looking to buy and sell on WhatsApp without having to go to a website, open another app or pay in person. We’re rolling the feature out today to a small number of businesses, and it will be available to many more in the coming months," according to Meta. Shares of PagSeguro Digital (PAGS) and StoneCo (STNE), which offer payments services in Brazil, may react to WhatsApp’s news. Reference Link
