Muse partners roundup: Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Expedia
A roundup of Muse's early commerce integrations: Shopify Shop Pay on by default for eligible US merchants, Stripe one-time virtual cards, PayPal global checkout, and Expedia and OpenTable bookings, while Amazon chose to block it.
MUSE MANIA TAKING OVER THE INTERNET In the past few days we had: Shopify $SHOP Shop Pay + Shopify Catalog; eligible US merchants on by default unless they opt out. Announced ~Sep 21. Stripe / Link - Launch-day payments: instant checkout at 1M+ Link merchants; elsewhere a single-use virtual card. Muse never sees the card details; user approves the total in chat. Paypal $PYPL Announced today: shop + check out across PayPal merchants worldwide. Deal is public; no live rollout date yet. Expedia $EXPE Muse can hit Expedia pages for hotels the way a person would OpenTable - Restaurant reservations (launch connector; approval before it books). Spotify $SPOT, Ticketmaster, Gmail — Third-party app links Meta called out at launch (music / tickets / email), not commerce rails. All partnering with $META Muse. Meanwhile, Amazon $AMZN blocked them. I think this is the WRONG move. That's coming from a shareholder. They're swimming against the current. Can't stop this wave!
