PayPal has confirmed that they are testing payments through their platform in retail stores in partnership with Home Depot.

PayPal testing retail payment in collaboration with Home Depot

The company said:

We frequently run trials with our retail partners. In this case, PayPal and The Home Depot are engaged in a limited pilot program for new POS technologies. The pilot is currently being run in five stores and involves a small number of PayPal employees.

Customers get the ability to pay for items using their funds in a PayPal account. They can pay using their smartphones or special credit cards.

This program is likely to be expanded with new features and more retailers in the coming months.
