PayPal moves offline and in-store

PayPal has lined up trials of a PoS system with a major US retailer, and plans to have up to 20 retailers operating the service during 2012.

eBay CEO John Donahoe, says: "We're in a strong position in online payments to expand to point of sale. We intend to help retailers grow offline in the same way we helped merchants grow online."

In the UK, Paypal has already set up an integrated PoS system with restaurant chain Pizza Express, through which customers can pay for their bills via an iPhone app.
