PayPal debuts mobile payments app for Pebble smartwatch

PayPal today announced that it was expanding its mobile payments app to the Pebble smartwatch platform. The app also is available iOS and other wearables including Samsung's Gear smartwatch series and Android Wear devices.

The mobile payments app allows Pebble owners to make PayPal purchases when they visit a store where the payment service is accepted. Pebble owners making a PayPal payment can authorize a purchase with their smartwatch using either a check-in to pay or a payment code option. Users also can receive payment notifications on their wrist-worn device.

The app is available now in the Pebble app store and requires an active PayPal account.
