PayPal’s New Toolkit for Google App Engine

PayPal made some cloud computing advancements at Google I/O by announcing its X Toolkit for Google App Engine (GAE). WebProNews spoke with PayPal’s Evangelist Rasesh Shah, who explains how the toolkit makes it easier for Google App Engine developers to take PayPal APIs and further develop on top of them.

Developers can simply download the toolkit and take advantage of all the APIs available. In addition, this platform allows developers create and run Web applications and services on Google’s cloud. Since it is on Google’s cloud, developers do not need any other hosting.

According to PayPal, the platform will enable many new payments in various marketplaces. The company is encouraging developers to utilize this platform to continue innovation.

“We want to make it as open as possible… so now, you don’t have to think about payment as a problem,” says Shah.
