Along with your direct messaging and retweeting, you may soon be able to buy stuff directly via Twitter. #impulseshopping #buyersremorse
Later this year, Twitter is expected to unveil buttons within tweets that say Buy or some variation of the word; after clicking on the button, shoppers are expected to be able to enter in payment and possibly shipping information without leaving Twitters service. Sources say that businesses that want to sell products or services within tweets are being instructed to sign up with Stripe to process payments on their behalf. While Stripe is believed to be Twitters only payments partner now working on the e-commerce business, its not clear whether that will remain the case over the long haul.
