[Venmo](https://www.paypal.com/us/enterprise/payment-processing/accept-venmo) is a social payment service that enables people to make and share payments with friends, family, and businesses in the United States (US).

To process payments using Venmo:

- Your customer must have the Venmo app installed.
- You and your customer must be based in the US.
- The currency must be in USD.

Checkout.com supports Venmo through PayPal.

Venmo supports the following checkout experiences:

- _Pay Now_ – Final payment page experience. <br>
Customers complete the payment on the PayPal pop-up.
- _Continue_ – Item and basket page experience. <br>
Customers complete the payment on the merchant's order review page

Additionally, Venmo supports both auto capture and manual capture of the payment:

- Use auto capture if your goods or services are available immediately after purchase – for example, digital goods or tickets.
- Use manual capture if your goods or services are not available immediately after purchase – for example, shipped goods.
