It also works with social commerce platforms including Whatsapp, Facebook, and Instagram. It’s API is made for online merchants to embed on their online store enabling their customers to checkout their orders in one click.

When a shopper clicks the “Checkout with pass” button, two things happen, their order is processed for checkout, and a delivery agent is notified to pick the order up from the merchant and deliver to the shopper.
