Little by little, payments using mobile devices are taking definitive shape and different companies are taking definitive steps so that they are made with great simplicity. An example is that PayPal it has just announced that it will shortly launch a new feature called “One Touch”.
This will allow users Android, who will be among the first to receive it in the corresponding application, to be able to make payments to other users (whether companies or individuals) just by "touching" the screen of their device once. With this new option, PayPal seeks to simplify the payment process that it already offers among people who already use the service, without losing an iota of security.
One of the motivations that has led PayPal to advance in this regard is to ensure that businesses use your service when accepting payments and, for this, convenience in transactions must be decisive. And, this is achieved since once it is not necessary more than to register the user in question once in the own database so that an identification does not have to be carried out constantly (obviously, delete or log in). cancellation of this by both parties to the transaction is feasible).
Una simple explanation The process would be as follows: the first time a purchase or transaction is made with a third party, a small certification application grants permissions to PayPal's own of the user in question -or store- to make that payment and future payments safely (Factors such as common data and behaviors are taken into account). Thus, if the next day you go to the same place, this process is no longer necessary and simply by pressing the payment button, it is done without problems and very quickly. And, as usual in PayPal, all this without the need for passwords or similar.
A good step made by PayPal
The truth is that the arrival of "One Touch" does nothing more than show the search to make simple and secure payments with mobile terminals. And, all this has been achieved thanks to the work of the company Braintree, which was bought not long ago by eBay, which owns PayPal, with the aim of improving mobile payment. Furthermore, the certifying application of the aforementioned processes has been developed by them, so it must be said that it has been a good acquisition.
In short, that progress is being made in relation to the possibility of making mobile payments with PayPal, the truth is that it is making the most interesting movements to position itself as a leader in its segment, such as integrating to be able to make direct payments using the fingerprint reader of the Samsung Galaxy S5.
