PayPal Introduces Open API

Posted by timothy on from the freedom-to-pay dept.

m2pc writes "PayPal has just announced the availability of their Open API under the 'PayPal X Program.' This enables developers to integrate PayPal payment processing services without forcing users to redirect to PayPal's website to enter payment information. This new initiative is designed to allow the company to better compete with the likes of Google and Amazon, which offer similar services. I wonder how much they paid for their domain: x.com?"

    Dear Sirs,

    These are great news that promise increased effectiveness and efficiency in money transfers for humble users from Nigeria.

    Additionally, if you could assist me in transferring some funds from our deceased noblemen, you will truly be awarded.

    Yours Faithfully,

    Dr. Akeem Biobaku

    Slashdot already owns /.org but it's a real bitch to get browsers to recognize the URL.
