Including PayPal payment option
Global provider of office products and services Office Depot is enabling customers to purchases via the internet without sharing financial information using PayPal as an option.
To use the service at checkout, Office Depot customers must provide their existing PayPal account information. The option to link to bank debit or credit account is also available to PayPal users. Their stored shipping and billing information processes the payment and items are shipped directly from Office Depot. A record of the purchases will be available on customers’ PayPal accounts and the payment details will be available for future purchases. PayPal also provides protection against eligible unauthorized payments.
PayPal currently has 117 million active registered accounts worldwide and is available in 190 markets.
