I signed up for Venmo business account a couple of weeks ago.  I've used Pay Pal to accept credit card payments on my web sites for a couple of years now.   The venmo payment option, as I understand it, is supposed to show up next to my web sites paypal button.  Is that automatic or is there something else I need to do?  The venmo payment button has not appeared on my three web sites yet.  Thanks!

It is automatic. Nothing else you need to do as long as you integrate PayPal Checkout as per https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/

 

The buttons are displayed dynamically according to each buyer. If they enabled Venmo as a payment method, then Venmo will be displayed.

 


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Good day @OldBlue,

 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

 

We recommend merchants to integrate our latest PayPal Checkout (Smart button) product.

Guide link : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/ 

 

The buttons that display are decided automatically, based on a range of factors, including:

 

  • Buyer country

  • Device type

  • Funding sources the buyer has opted to see.

As a result, each buyer might see a unique combination of buttons. Pay Later offers differ by country and have different buttons. 

 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/customize/buttons-style-guide/#link-whichbuttons...  

 

By default, funding source eligibility is determined based on a variety of factors. Enable funding can be used to ensure a funding source is rendered, if eligible.

 

I request to please contact your website developer or the support of your third party platform eCommerce to refer the below detailed guide link to enable the "particular" payment method as per your requirement.
