MICROSOFT

Pay your monthly bills directly in the email

Microsoft said Monday it will integrate a payment system directly into its email service. The novelty is just one of many that will reach Outlook over the next few months.
The so-called Microsoft Pay will allow users to make payments without having to switch between applications. The first partners of this system include Stripe, Braintree and Zuora, such as other electronic billing services such as FreshBooks, Intuit, Invoice2Go, Sage, Wave and Xero.
The functionality will reach some Outlook users in the coming weeks, but the system will eventually be deployed across all accounts over a longer period of time.
Note that, in addition, Outlook will also gain contextual cards so that users can follow up on the suggested actions on incoming messages.
