PayPal Payments with QR Codes

PayPal continues to make news, and make moves, in the brick and mortar payments space.



Mobile Commerce Daily has a short write-up on this:

paypal-backs-qr-codes-for-real-world-dominance

Here is a snippet from the article:

PayPal’s decision to support QR codes for mobile payments reflects the technology’s ubiquity while cementing the company’s aspirations to transfer its online success to bricks-and-mortar transactions.
The QR code push follows PayPal’s introduction last month of Beacon, an in-store payments solution leveraging Bluetooth technology. At the same time that PayPal continues its push into in-store payments, it faces growing competition online thanks to Amazon Login and Pay, enabling ecommerce retailers to let customers pay on desktop or mobile using their Amazon account.

Happy reading,
