PayPal devs can also embed credit card scanning software from Card.io, which <a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom.com\/2012\/07\/17\/paypal-buys-credit-card-scanner-card-io\/\">PayPal bought last summer<\/a>. While it&#8217;s starting with iOS, PayPal said it would expand to other mobile platforms \u201csoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For quick integration, PayPal has developed Javascript buttons that can be embedded into a desktop or mobile website by adding five lines of codes. The payment feature can also be programmed into a QR code, allowing retailers to trigger transactions from outside of the device. Finally, PayPal is also retooling its application programming interfaces (APIs) around more modern and open frameworks such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.restapitutorial.com\/\">REST<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/oauth.net\/\">OAuth<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.json.org\/\">JSON<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, PayPal\u2019s development platform ran over parent company eBay\u2019s X.commerce, but PayPal is taking its developer efforts independent, launching a new <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.paypal.com\/\">development website<\/a> that houses its sandbox, tools, documentation and other resources in a single location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just the beginning,\u201d PayPal CTO James Barrese <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepaypalblog.com\/2013\/03\/sxsw-2013-paypal-developer-tools\/\">wrote on the company\u2019s blog<\/a>. &#8220;We will be releasing new APIs and capabilities throughout 2013, while continuing to support our existing developer tools through this evolution. We will continue to listen to the developer community and rapidly respond to their feedback.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=gigaom.com&#038;blog=14960843&#038;%23038;post=618484&#038;%23038;subd=gigaom2&#038;%23038;ref=&#038;%23038;feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?iu=\/1008864\/GigaOM_RSS_300x250&#038;sz=300x250&#038;%23038;c=544802\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?iu=\/1008864\/GigaOM_RSS_300x250&#038;sz=300x250&#038;%23038;c=544802\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related research and analysis from GigaOM Pro:<\/strong><br \/>Subscriber content. <a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/?utm_source=apple&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=618484+paypal-revamps-developer-program-with-new-ios-sdk-retooled-apis&#038;utm_content=kfitchard\">Sign up for a free trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2011\/09\/the-future-of-mobile-a-segment-analysis-by-gigaom-pro\/?utm_source=apple&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=618484+paypal-revamps-developer-program-with-new-ios-sdk-retooled-apis&#038;utm_content=kfitchard\">The future of mobile: a segment analysis by GigaOM Pro<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2012\/12\/connected-consumer-2013-how-2012-laid-the-groundwork-for-change\/?utm_source=apple&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=618484+paypal-revamps-developer-program-with-new-ios-sdk-retooled-apis&#038;utm_content=kfitchard\">How consumer media will change in 2013<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pro.gigaom.com\/2012\/09\/mobile-industry-2012-segment-analysis\/?utm_source=apple&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_campaign=auto3&#038;utm_term=618484+paypal-revamps-developer-program-with-new-ios-sdk-retooled-apis&#038;utm_content=kfitchard\">Mobile 2012 and beyond<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img width='1' height='1' src='http:\/\/gigaom.feedsportal.com\/c\/34996\/f\/646446\/s\/295b515e\/mf.gif' border='0'\/><\/p>\n<div class='mf-viral'>\n<table border='0'>\n<tr>\n<td valign='middle'><a href=\"http:\/\/share.feedsportal.com\/viral\/sendEmail.cfm?lang=en&#038;title=PayPal+revamps+developer+program+with+new+iOS+SDK%2C+retooled+APIs&#038;link=http%3A%2F%2Fgigaom.com%2F2013%2F03%2F08%2Fpaypal-revamps-developer-program-with-new-ios-sdk-retooled-apis%2F\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/res3.feedsportal.com\/images\/emailthis2.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td valign='middle'><a href=\"http:\/\/res.feedsportal.com\/viral\/bookmark.cfm?title=PayPal+revamps+developer+program+with+new+iOS+SDK%2C+retooled+APIs&#038;link=http%3A%2F%2Fgigaom.com%2F2013%2F03%2F08%2Fpaypal-revamps-developer-program-with-new-ios-sdk-retooled-apis%2F\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/res3.feedsportal.com\/images\/bookmark.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/da.feedsportal.com\/r\/159490458530\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/295b515e\/a2.htm\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/da.feedsportal.com\/r\/159490458530\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/295b515e\/a2.img\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/pi.feedsportal.com\/r\/159490458530\/u\/49\/f\/646446\/c\/34996\/s\/295b515e\/a2t.img\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?a=0WI0P17-tJg:mwPygR6aQcY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/OmMalik?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/OmMalik\/~4\/0WI0P17-tJg\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PayPal readily admits it hasn\u2019t been the most developer-friendly company, but the online payments giant claims it is now ready to start actively courting the developer with a bevy of new tools it is launching at SXSWi.
