PayPal testing QR code app at Singapore metro stations

PayPal is testing a mobile application in Singapore metro stations. The app allows commuters to scan QR codes to get merchandise information and then make the purchase through their handsets.

Billboards and posters have been set up at 15 subway stations across Singapore that feature Valentine day-related offers on gifts like flowers and chocolates, from eight merchant partners.

Commuters who have downloaded the app can then scan the QR codes related to the offers and can then make the purchase through PayPal or credit cards. Purchasers can then arrange to pick up the goods at the store or have them delivered.
