PayPal X, a platform announced in July, was launched today at PayPal’s developer conference Innovate 2009.
Amongst other things, PayPal X enables integrating PayPal based payment systems into applications such as social networks. With PayPal X, users won’t have to go anymore to PayPal.com in order to make purchases from within online games or other web applications.
At x.com one can find developer tools, sample code and documentation to the various PayPal APIs as well as other information.
PlaySpan, a producer of platforms for virtual goods for games, already uses PayPal’s new technology.
With the Mobile Embedded Payment Toolkit, Paypal can also be deployed for mobile applications.
TechCrunch has a full list of APIs for PayPal X.
