PayPal One Touch is available across Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.Feature has been rolled out earlier in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
One Touch is based on a product initially created for Venmo called Touch, a button in native mobile apps and browser checkout carts that allows users to pay for goods without the hassle of filing out billing information. One Touch is important for PayPal as a whole, because it helps its 152 million users to purchase more products in more marketplaces and takes advantage of the mobile commerce boom.Though PayPal and its subsidiary Venmo has had this feature far ahead of new competitors like Apple Pay and the soon to be released Android Pay, it’s now fighting to be the digital wallet of choice for consumers. Competition is fairly fierce. For example, Apple recently expanded its buy button to the U.K. and became the first mobile payment to be accepted by its rail service.
