The desktop version of Venmo breaks down each notification option on one page, making it easy to turn them on or off. You can click the checkmark box to turn a notification on or off on the website. If the box has a checkmark, then the notifications are on.
Venmo Notification Types
Venmo has three different notification types you can choose from and toggle on or off specific options. There is also the option to change your contact information within the app or website.
Venmo lets you change your email or phone number in the app so your notifications can be sent to the correct information. You can change these settings by going to your “Profile” within the app and changing your information.
The notification labeled “Payment received” gives you the option to receive notifications when someone pays you on Venmo.
Venmo Push Notifications
Venmo push notifications will show on your mobile phone if you have them toggled on in the app. You will also have to enable notifications in your phone’s settings for Venmo’s push notifications to start showing.
The push notifications options are split into different sections labeled “Money,” “Crypto,” “Communications from Venmo,” and “social.”
Push notifications are great for receiving information on certain activities in your Venmo account on your phone. You can even turn on “Price Alerts” on Venmo. You may also be able to adjust your notification options within your phone’s settings, like turning on sound and other features.
Venmo Text Notifications
The text notification options are going to be similar to the email notifications. You can toggle these on or off to receive text message notifications from Venmo. Be sure to read the provided information at the bottom of the Venmo app regarding “carrier charges.”
You can set up notifications for activity from your friends, like comments, or likes on your Venmo transactions. Being able to like and comment on Venmo can be a great way to communicate through the Venmo app. You can also get notified when someone requests you on Venmo.
Venmo Email Notifications
You can also enable or disable Venmo email notifications within the app. The options are similar to text message notifications, as I mentioned before. The main difference is that you can turn on “Security” email notifications.
You can log in through the website if you use your desktop and want access to your Venmo account. You can view your Venmo email notifications on your computer.
View Notifications Within the App
You can also view your notifications within the app on your phone. These notifications within the app can be found on the “Me” page in the top right corner. You can select the notification icon to view them.
On the desktop platform of Venmo, you should be able to find your in-app notifications by clicking “Notifications” under the “Search” option on the left side of the website.
Conclusion
Turning on Venmo Notifications can be a great way to stay updated on your account’s activity. You can enable transaction activity like when you receive or send your money on Venmo. You can adjust these options on the settings page in the notification section.
As mentioned before, there are three notification types within the app that are helpful if you want to enable specific ones like push or texts.
