PayPal and Apple partner to launch a digital gift card store
As Christmas approaches, PayPal, with backing from Apple, has launched its own online store selling digital gift cards.
The service allows customers to buy digital gift cards worth $15, $25, $50 and $100. So far the only gift cards available come from iTunes, but PayPal is assuring people that more partners are set to join in the coming weeks
"Buying a digital gift from PayPal is as easy as one-two-three: select a gift and denomination, enter your PayPal ID and Password, send the gift to a loved one or redeem it on the spot. Simple, convenient and secure," said PayPal in a statement.
"To help open the digital doors we have just started offering iTunes codes. This year our clients can get more music, more apps, more fun, with a few clicks on their smartphones."
Officially, the gift service is only available to US customers however reports have surfaced that consumers in the UK have been able to get through the checkout process.
