If you are under the age of 18, you will not be able to use the peer-to-peer (P2P) payments service on Messenger. P2P is also not to be used for business, commercial, or merchant transactions. Facebook says it will discontinue payment services if it notices such prohibited transactions.

Yes, you will be able to review your payment history through the apps that support Facebook Pay. Users will be able to view transaction ID, status and payment method details of older payments at all times.
Can Facebook payments be reversed?
No, you can’t cancel money after you send it in a message. Ask them to decline the money if they haven't linked a debit card or PayPal account to their account yet. If the payment isn't accepted after 7 days, it'll be automatically cancelled.
