Do not use a WebView to display Pay with Venmo pages within your application

Per PayPal security guidelines, your application must not use a WebView or similar custom browser mechanism for display of Pay with Venmo web pages. Instead, use our iOS and Android SDKs to manage the Pay with Venmo experience or launch the Pay with Venmo flow within the system browser.

Alternatively, use our pop-up bridge libraries for iOS and Android to launch the Pay with Venmo flow within an approved browser-view mechanism such as Safari View Controller on iOS or Chrome Custom Tabs on Android.

Support for Pay with Venmoanchor

Eligibility to use Pay with Venmo is only allowed if you process (or plan to process) transactions with a United States based business entity.
