According to the source, PayPal is offering two new extensions that are set to allow Magento’s merchants to set up shop in PayPal’s mobile app and support mobile payments in their stores. The first, dubbed In-Aisle Selling, hooks PayPal’s point-of-sale mobile payments service Here directly to a merchant’s store. Here allows salesmen to take a credit or debit card payment anywhere in the store with PayPal’s magnetic reader, while Magento’s ordering and inventory system pulls down all purchase and customer details. The second extension is called Order Ahead and allows merchants to set up shop in PayPal’s mobile app.
Stores can use specialized templates to create their menus or catalogs and synchronize their opening hours and locations with PayPal’s ordering system. Merchants can then manage the pre-orders through a simple console available in the extension or directly integrate Order Ahead into their existing point-of-sale systems using Magento’s APIs. Customers can pick up their orders either by presenting their names, order numbers or the QR code on their e-receipts.
