PayPal is continuing to integrate its payment services into more platforms. This company has just launched their first bot on messaging platform Slack, which will allow users to quickly transfer cash between each other.
Within Slack, users located in Australia, Canada, the US and the UK will be able to access the PayPal bot using the “/PayPal” command after they install it from the Slack app store. The bot will allow co-workers to quickly settle up split bills, office pools or shared cabs.
