Ahead of Big Retail Push, PayPal Inks Deals With Top Hardware Vendors

In advance of the company’s press conference today, Paypal is announcing that it's secured partnerships with three of the top point-of-sale providers, giving it access to nearly 40 million terminals worldwide. The partnerships are important because it makes rolling out its in-store payments technology to retailers much easier. To date, PayPal deployed its service to all 2,000 Home Depots, but it has a long way to go in meeting its goal of having 20 major retailers by the end of the year.
