Ron Burgundy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 By Alexei Oreskovic SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc is testing a new "buy" button on its website that will let consumers purchase products that are advertised on its social network. The new service, which Facebook described on Thursday as a test with a "few small and medium-sized businesses" in the United States, represents the Internet social networking company's latest effort to play a bigger role in the e-commerce business. Facebook said its new Buy button will be available on the mobile and desktop PC version of its website and will allow consumers to purchase goods directly from participating businesses. "None of the credit or debit card information people share with Facebook when completing a transaction will be shared with other advertisers, and people can select whether or not they’d like to save payment information for future purchases," the company said in a blog post on Thursday.

komodoh Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't understand why facebook is trying to expand it's current website for features that have nothing to do with social networking. I imagine it would just be easier to make a whole new website and market the fuck out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
