With PayPal’s mobile payments solutions now integrated into the Canvas platform, Canvas subscribers building and using mobile apps for a broad range of business processes – including customer invoices, work orders, retail sales and rental agreements – can now add mobile payment functionality as well, allowing them to authenticate and accept payments via mobile devices and create fully customizable payment processes. Using PayPal Here on the Canvas platform, business users can even accept credit cards and debit cards in person, plus track cash and check payments—right from a tablet or smartphone, whether they’re in their shop or on the road.
“Forrester Research projects U.S. mobile payments will hit $142 billion in 2019, and while mobile payments offer enhanced payer convenience, the integration of mobile payments with data collection and cloud storage offers a yet-untapped opportunity to unlock the value of mobile transaction data for both the customer and vendor in ways never previously possible,” said James Quigley, co-founder and CEO, Canvas. “With $64.3 billion in total payment volume for 2014, PayPal operates at the forefront of the digital payments revolution, and we are thrilled to now offer Canvas business customers this mobile payment capability.”
By linking mobile payments to Canvas’ cloud-based software service, insightful customer information can be stored and leveraged to change the way businesses interact with customers – not just at the point-of-transaction but also through the full customer lifecycle.

These receipts can include unique content such as photos, coupons, social media calls-to-action, website URLs, and more.
Canvas empowers businesses of all sizes to collect information using mobile devices; instantly share that information with colleagues, partners and customers; and seamlessly integrate the data with their businesses’ existing backend systems so that decision makers gain access to accurate, real-time information from their workforce.
