Running in the morning.


At that time I thought that I will take over the running and pick up what I put out for cleaning.


Only in such a case I forgot her at home.


If you use PayPal Beacon then you can easily make payment from the dedicated application installed on your iOS device or Android device without having a wallet or credit card. Payment will be made when you arrive at the designated store.


Furthermore, if you buy cafe coffee from the outside ... ...


When you get to the store you can receive the goods immediately, you no longer need to line up with long waiting queues.


Payment is also over when you arrive at the shop, so it is bye bye.


In order for users to make payments with PayPal Beacon, it is essential for outlets to insert POS systems compatible with PayPal and PayPal Beacon on the store side.


Given the usage scenes of PayPal Beacon, it was desirable that communication methods be used in which it is necessary to communicate from an indoor terminal to a terminal, or the battery consumption of a user's smartphone is reduced. From this point of view, communication methods using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) will be adopted, not technologies such as GPS, Wi-Fi and Geofence functions.


If you set which shop to purchase from the special application, payment for the item will be paid when you drop in at the shop, only after you receive the item.



In short, neither money nor credit card nor signature is required for shopping.


Since BLE is used for communication method, connection between terminals is smooth and energy consumption is also very low, furthermore it is not necessary to open special application and it can be used regardless of poor GPS and radio wave condition.


PayPal Beacon never searches for user's location information constantly, and ignoring PayPal Beacon when entering the store does not send information to stores or PayPal.


It seems that pilot operation is started during the fourth quarter of this year and we are aiming to start service of head of 2014. Currently on the PayPal Beacon website, developers are recruiting ideas and 100 developers who have chosen ideas have the opportunity to use the free development version API before starting PayPal Beacon service It is said that.
