According to Facebook, the initiative has been taken as part of introducing a universal paid subscription facility. Facebook is one of the technology companies trying to attract content creators and their followers through various tools and payment facilities.
In recent years, Facebook has been working to build communities to increase user participation on its platform. As part of this, group admins will be able to create e-commerce shops and community fundraisers. Through which it is possible to alleviate much of the cost of running a group.
Recently, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that this feature allows a content creator to use custom links to receive payments. Last year Facebook launched its subscription service.
