Venmo is now launching ‘Business Profiles’ that can be used by smaller organizations to sell goods. The Business Profiles feature allows sellers to share important information like an address, contact information, website information, and more. It also allows small businesses to easily create a page that looks professional. Overall the tool provides a way for gig worker to keep their personal and professional Venmo accounts separate, by simply toggling between a Venmo user's personal and professional profile.
Venmo Business Profiles will also be visible through the social feed on the Venmo platform. Venmo QR codes can also be easily shared with customers through email, text, print, or Airdrop, in order to simplify the payment process.
