PortaPayments Launched

leave a comment »

Funky Android Ltd. have launched PortaPayments, a system which allows PayPal payment requests to be printed on documents or dynamically created on electronic devices. The PortaPayments system encodes a payment request into a QR Code which is then scanned by the person wishing to make the payment.

PortaPayment codes can be printed on invoices, adverts, and used in other locations where PayPal payment requests previously could not be used. PortaPayment codes are created with details of the recipient and a description of the transaction which allows them to be re-used multiple times by multiple customers as opposed to current one-time fixed recipient requests. PortaPayments uses PayPals new adaptive API to allow multiple recipients to be included into a single PortaPayments code.

PortaPayments is an entrant in the PayPal X Developers Challenge, and the Android application can be downloaded from AndAppStore, the PortaPayments website, or Googles Android Market.

More information can be found on the PortaPayments website at www.PortaPayments.com or in the demonstration video below;.
