venmo option not showing on smart phone

I use gravity forms for a charity website, and they wanted the Venmo option, so i use the pp checkout addon with GF. I did get the code working to show the venmo option on the website, but it doesn't show up for me on my apple iphone, and i also have a venmo app on the phone. I was able to use the venmo button off the website to make a donation. I have the donate page as excluded from cache. I do not see the venmo option on the phone however. This is a puzzle, i would like to ensure folks have a chance to donate using that option with their phones. have folks encountered this and is there a solution or an alternative?

From Google's AI:

Venmo is not automatically displayed as a payment option in PayPal Checkout integrations by default. 
To enable Venmo as a funding source, you can add enable-funding=venmo as a query parameter to your JavaScript SDK <script>. You can also use the JavaScript SDK code to show the Venmo button on your product and checkout pages. 
 
 
Once enabled, the Venmo button will appear when the form is rendered, but there are some restrictions for using it on mobile devices: 
 
 
  • The user must have the latest version of the Venmo app installed on their device 
     
     
  • The user must opt in to use Venmo for online purchases 
     
     
  • The user's device must be using the standard default browser for that mobile device, which is Safari for iOS or Google Chrome for Android 
     
     
  • The payment must be made through a US merchant 
     
     
  • The user who is viewing the interface where the Venmo button is displayed must be located within the US 
     
     
  • The Venmo button must be used for a one-time payment, not an ongoing or recurring transaction
