About PayPal

PayPal is a payment processor and payment gateway that enables online financial transactions between individuals and businesses. Users can send, receive, and donate funds electronically, purchase or sell goods and services, and complete transactions across online platforms like eBay. The service offers virtual terminal and point-of-sale payments, with an API for integration into various platforms.

PayPal offers a comprehensive online payment platform enabling individuals and businesses to conduct electronic financial transactions securely. Their services allow users to send and receive payments for various purposes, including online auctions, goods and services purchases, and donations.

Key features include a flexible payment system that doesn't require a mandatory account, support for multiple currencies with built-in conversion options, and a mobile app available on iTunes and Google Play. The platform provides two checkout gateway options through Payflow, which supports most major credit cards.

The "One Touch" service streamlines the payment process by enabling users to make purchases on participating merchant websites and apps with a single click.
