Skype for Windows 10 is updated in the Insider Program and now allows payments and charges through PayPal

Skype has updated itself and has done so by adding a new feature that is now available to all users who are part of the Insider Program. An improvement that was already available in Skype for iOS and Android and that later, curiously enough, reaches Windows 10 users

Payments can now be made on Skype through PayPal The popular platform will serve as a way to send and receive money without having to exit or change applications thanks to the redesign in Skype, so that the same messaging app will offer the appropriate controls to carry out the entire process.

Secure payments

When we are talking to someone we will see in the same space a new icon that, shaped like a ticket, will allow access to Paypal. We will only have to link our PayPal account and the same function will show us which are the options to request or send money.

The use is accessible to everyone and in order to carry out the process you only have to mark the amount you want to pay or receive if We have a balance in the account. Once the payment or collection is made, a card will inform us of the activity carried out in our account. Presumably, to offer optimal security, two-factor authentication will be maintained, which requires confirmation of the action with a message that reaches the mobile in the form of a code.

Regarding the question of whether there is any commission or charge, from Microsoft no commission is charged, yes good PayPal yes that fees may apply to your transfer, although these will be clearly displayed on the screen before you accept the transfer.

This upgrade is only available to Insider Program users and is also doubly limited, since it can only be accessed in a certain number of countrieswhich include the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg , M alta, the Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Denmark, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
