Appcelerator®, the leading platform for rapidly developing native mobile, desktop, and iPad applications using Web technologies announced today that it has entered into an agreement with PayPal to offer an integrated mobile commerce solution through PayPal’s merchant channel. This new mobile commerce offering will make it easy for the millions of PayPal merchants, along with Appcelerator’s 77,000+ Web developers to rapidly build native iOS, Android, and BlackBerry commerce applications across handsets, tablets, connected TVs, and other devices. Appcelerator has signed a mobile partner program agreement with PayPal to offer a fully integrated mobile commerce offering called Titanium+Commerce to over 8 million PayPal merchants in the first half of 2011. Titanium+Commerce, available in beta starting today, makes it easy for any merchant to rapidly build cross-platform mobile applications that harness a full set of commerce capabilities using existing Web skills and technologies. Merchants and online businesses can rapidly extend into mobile commerce by enabling the purchase of real and virtual goods, services, and content from smartphones, tablets, connected TVs, and other devices.
“Appcelerator is already the number two Apple App Store publisher because they enable rapid mobile innovation,” said Osama Bedier, PayPal’s vice president of platform, mobile and new ventures. “I’m excited to be working with them to bring that innovation potential to mobile commerce, which I believe will one day be bigger than e commerce.” Titanium+Commerce will initially consist of an integration of PayPal’s Mobile Payment Library on top of Appcelerator’s Titanium development platform. Both companies are also working to expand their capabilities to include a broader range of integrated commerce capabilities, including, and transaction analytics and other joint integrations. A demonstration of Titanium+Commerce is now available and will be made available in early 2011 as ready-to-use templates for any merchant to easily customize with their own branding and inventory.
