How to Use Venmo on Poshmark?
As mentioned, you can use Venmo as a payment method on Poshmark. However, you’ll need to add it as a payment option in the Poshmark app.
To do this, simply:
- Select your “Account Tab” in the Poshmark app (@username)
- Click on “My Payment Methods”
- Choose the “Add Venmo” option
- Tap on “Open” when the Venmo popup appears
- In the Venmo app, choose the account you’ll use to make purchases on Poshmark
- Click on “Next”

You’ll see your Venmo username and account listed in the “My Payment Methods” section of the Poshmark app (you can remove it as a payment method at any time).
Making Purchases on Poshmark Using Venmo
In general, you can pay for products on Poshmark in one of two ways:
1. “Buy Now”
If you’re on a page that allows you to purchase a listing using a “Buy Now” option, then:
- Tap the “Buy Now” button
- Provide your payment and shipping information
- Tap on “Submit” to complete the purchase
2. “Make an Offer”
If you’re on a page that allows you to “Make an Offer” to purchase a listing, then:
- Select the “Offer” option
- Provide your offer and select “Next” (in-app) or “Submit” (on the web)
- Provide your payment and shipping information
- Select “Submit Offer”
To pay for a Poshmark listing with Venmo in either of the cases above, you’ll have to select Venmo from the list of payment options when you reach the step where you have to provide your payment information. It’ll be only available if you’ve added Venmo as a payment method to Poshmark.
Alternatively, if you haven’t set Venmo as a payment method, you can pay for a listing by tapping on the “Pay With Venmo” button provided in the Poshmark app. This action authorizes the purchase, after which you’ll receive a prompt asking for permission to link your Venmo account with Poshmark.
When you grant Poshmark permission to link to your Venmo account, it’ll be able to charge your Venmo account on the current transaction and future transactions if you decide to shop on Poshmark using Venmo.
Can I Remove My Venmo Account from Poshmark?
Yes, you can disconnect your Venmo account from Poshmark at any time. To do this:
- Launch the Venmo app
- Navigate to “Settings”
- Under “Settings,” tap on “Connected Merchants”
- Find Poshmark in the list and select it
- Tap the “Disconnect” button at the bottom of the screen
While Venmo may still appear as a payment option in Poshmark after you’ve disconnected it, it’s normal and means that Poshmark has yet to refresh your account. However, Poshmark won’t be able to charge your Venmo account once you’ve made the disconnection from the Venmo app.
How Long Has Venmo Been Accepted as a Payment Method on Poshmark?
Since mid-2016, Venmo has given merchants the option of integrating a “Pay With Venmo” button on the checkout page of their (the merchant’s) app. Around the same time, Poshmark added Venmo as one of four primary payment options to its platform.
Considering that Poshmark’s primary users are twenty-somethings who shop with the app using their mobile phones, and this same customer base widely uses Venmo, it was a no-brainer for Poshmark to attract these customers by offering a payment option they know.
It also helps that Venmo is a widely used payment option. Well-known brands like UberEats, Lululemon, Forever 21, Abercrombie and Fitch, GrubHub, and Foot Locker, accept it as a means of payment for their products (you’ll find a complete list of apps that accept Venmo on its website).
