Step 6: Authorizing Snapchat to Connect with Venmo
- After tapping on Venmo, you will likely be redirected to a Venmo authorization screen. This screen will ask for your permission to allow Snapchat to access certain aspects of your Venmo account.
- Review the permissions carefully. Make sure you understand what Snapchat will be able to do once connected to Venmo. Typically, this involves the ability to initiate payments to your Venmo contacts.
- If you are comfortable with the permissions, tap on the "Authorize" or "Connect" button. You might be asked to log in to your Venmo account at this stage if you aren't already logged in on your device.
