Using PayPal in Your Online Business

Founded in 1998, PayPal, an eBay Company, enables any individual or business with an email address to securely, easily and quickly send and receive payments online. PayPal's service builds on the existing financial infrastructure of bank accounts and credit cards and uses the world's most advanced proprietary fraud prevention systems to create a safe, global, real-time payment solution.

It is simple to set up a PayPal account, and begin accepting credit card payments through your web site. To provide more complete integration with your web business, however, you will want to have programming access to the PayPal servers. Like other online business providers, PayPal has an active developer's network, of which PCV Software is a member. When you integrate your web application with PayPal, you can automate much of the processes required to accept payments online, freeing up your time to concentrate on expanding your business opportunities.
