It's in a companies interest to make sure that there is a way to give them money, they are unlikely to want to throw away good customers just because they don't have a FB account.

What I would expect to see however is discounts offered if you use FB payments and allow your purchases to be automatically shared with your friends.

    allow your purchases to be automatically shared with your friends.

This is one of the creepiest feature one can get. I already hate these social readers which automatically share what you read (I've stop reading stuff on FB because of that, even if many of them are of my interest). However I'm hoping they would provide some reasonable privacy options with that.

I don't imagine it would become compulsory. After all people need an avenue to buy their porno and health related products in privacy.

You would get something like "10% off for you and 5% off for all of your friends, if you allow us to repost on your wall"

The problem of course becomes spam, if FB ever gets to such a poor signal/noise ratio then people will simply stop using it.
