PayPal Holdings, Inc. announced six new innovations the company is piloting and bringing to market this year to revolutionize commerce through artificial intelligence (AI) driven personalization for both merchants and consumers. Alex Chriss, President and CEO, PayPal, introduced a completely new PayPal checkout experience that radically speeds up checkout for consumers and helps merchants convert transactions like never before.
Alex Chriss, said, “PayPal is on a mission to revolutionize commerce, globally, and today we are starting the next chapter. With nearly 400 million consumer accounts, and 35 million merchant accounts, PayPal handles transactions for about a quarter of the world’s ecommerce transactions each year, but more importantly, shoppers trust PayPal to power their payments.”
“PayPal is introducing six new innovations that will not only solve real customer pain points, but we believe will change the world of payments and commerce. From new solutions for merchants to speed up checkout and personalize offers, to a new consumer app that will give our loyal customers more reasons to shop with PayPal, to the next generation of Venmo designed to be the growth platform for local small businesses, PayPal has always brought the future of money to our consumers and merchants and today marks the next revolution,” Chriss added.
