PayPal Launches OneTouch With Google Smart Lock In India

Using Google Smart Lock, PayPal has brought Indian users its new OneTouch experience. With OneTouch, customers who use PayPal on Android devices will continue to be logged in to the platform to make subsequent purchases without having to re-login all over again.

According to the company, this feature helps eliminate the inconvenience of having to log into the platform whenever they want to make a payment. PayPal users will not need to log in every time they want to trade, however, they must use two-factor authentication to complete the transacting process.

Thanks to OneTouch, consumers do not have to enter their credit or debit card details when making purchases on smartphones, which makes the paying procedure frictionless.

The company said that Google's Smart Lock feature offers customers convenience but at the same time, helps maintain security.

India was chosen as the first place to test this new feature. After a period of testing, it will be deployed in other countries around the world as well.

Kishore Konakanchi, Head of Product & Engineering at PayPal India, said that the adoption of this new feature in India makes it easier and faster for consumers and merchants to buy and pay. When consumers link their PayPal and Google accounts, they won't need to re-enter passwords, which makes the purchasing and transacting process more convenient. Risk management is a secret weapon that helps PayPal assert its success in more than 200 markets over the past twenty years.
