Yes—you can accept payments in Microsoft Teams. Add the Teams Payments app, link Stripe, PayPal, or GoDaddy, send a request in the meeting chat, and get paid on the spot. It’s available in the U.S. and Canada and included with Teams Essentials and Microsoft 365 Business.
If you meet clients online, jumping between a meeting and a payment site slows everyone down. Microsoft’s Teams Payments app brings the payment step into the same place you already talk and work. For many small businesses around Panama City, that’s one less tool to manage.
The Payments app works inside Teams meetings so you can request and receive money without leaving the call. For now, Microsoft offers it only in the U.S. and Canada, and it’s included at no extra cost with Teams Essentials and Microsoft 365 Business (source).
What the Teams Payments App Does
Install the app from the Microsoft AppStore, add it to Teams, then connect it to one of these payment services:
- Stripe
- PayPal
- GoDaddy
Once connected, you can ask for payment during a meeting and track the status in real time.
How to Accept Payments in Microsoft Teams Meetings
When you’re in a meeting, open the chat. Choose the Payments icon from the messaging extensions, then complete the short form with the amount, currency, description, and who should receive it.
Need more than one person to pay? You can issue a single request to multiple attendees, and each person’s status will show on the same payment card—paid or still due.

Your customer will see the same card in the chat. They click Pay Now, get redirected to the provider you connected (Stripe, PayPal, or GoDaddy), enter their details, and confirm.
They’ll get a confirmation message in chat when the payment goes through, and you’ll see a notification on your end.
