There’s one platform called PayPal that is safe, convenient and offers other features like receiving payments. Not everyone has explored this option, but if you want to give it a try, you can easily start creating your account and use it on mobile. Here’s how to do it.

PayPal also has a cool feature called PayPal One Touch which makes it easier for you to check out from eligible sites or stores.

Once activated, you can now make purchases on eligible stores without logging into your PayPal account or filling out your billing information. Eligible purchases are also covered by PayPal’s Buyer Protection.
