Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Sydney-based online merchant solutions vendor, On Technology, is claiming a worldwide first with its implementation of PayPal’s new Permissions Application Programming Interface (API), the latest beta API unveiled today as part of the PayPal X global open payments platform.
On Technology managing director, Joachim
Schiller, said today that “prior to implementing the Permissions API,
our instructions for clients to enable PayPal as a payment option were
quite detailed,” but he said, “this has now been reduced to a single,
self-explanatory button.”
Schiller said the new Permissions API allows developers to solicit
permission from customers to access their PayPal account on their
behalf.
“On Technology integrated the new API within its award-winning
ezimerchant e-commerce solution, which already uses PayPal to deliver
payment processing, as part of a limited beta program. As a result, On
Technology has been able to further streamline the set-up process for
new merchant customers that select PayPal as an online payment option.”
And, according to Spiro Rokos, senior manager, developer network at
PayPal Australia, “On Technology is a great example of how Aussie
developers can take advantage of the PayPal X APIs to enhance their
existing e-commerce solutions, and make payments a more seamless
experience for their customers.”
Developers attending PayPal Innovate 2009 in San Francisco this week
will be given exclusive access to the Permissions API until the end of
the year, while non-attendees, including developers from Australia,
will have access from the first quarter of 2010.
