Paypal and Mastercard partner to help customers make purchases in more stores with their phones.

More in-store and online retailers are offering diversified payment methods, with services like PayPal growing in availability.

Here's how to accept a contactless payment from your customer's card or digital wallet device with Venmo's tap to pay feature: Open the Venmo app. Select the Charge button.

The PayPal app can help you pay for things at stores, farmers markets and just about anywhere else using QR codes. We walk you through how to use it.

Apple will allow PayPal payments in its digital stores, offering customers another check-out option on iTunes, iBooks, Apple Music and the App Store.

Facebook Pay, Google Pay and Apple Pay Cash don't grab our personal data; Venmo, Cash and others do. Apps free, but come with a cost of our data.
