The particular endeavor is an expansion of the companies' two-year old partnership that will combine PayPal's mobile card product, PayPal Here, with ebizmarts' iPad-based app, Magento. Together, the product can help retailers synchronize online inventories and in-store product suites.
PayPal said products, pricing, customer requests, redeemable coupons, orders and returns can all be managed by in-store staff via Magento, while the Here card reader enables payments, according to the blog post.
