Notes de l'éditeur
Good afternoon everybody, I am Robbert de Haan and am excited to be on stage. I have a background since 2000 in mobile internet services, developing and launching innovations with Orange, T-Mobile, and Vodafone, and I am now heading up marketing at PayPal Benelux. I hope you have taken a cup of coffee after lunch, because we really have an interesting story: about the (real) mobile revolution, why PayPal has opened up it’s global payments platform with PayPal X, and what exactly that means for mobile commerce.
But first of all let’s briefly remind ourselves where we are coming from. And take a step back in history but not so long ago. Who remembers the Berlin Wall? Democracy vs. communist regime.
In 1989 the unthinkable happened: the walls came down and the democratisation process across Eastern Europe started. The analogy with the world of mobile is obvious. ‘Walled gardens’ and relatively small revenue shares for content providers/ software developers were reality late 90’s/ early 2000. However through the force of the internet services started to come ‘over-the-top’, also these walls came tumbling down around 2005/6. Let’s pick up the mobile story from there.
I’ll start to talk about the mobile commerce opportunity and why I think you should start mobilizing and monetizing your business if you haven’t done it yet. Second we will go over the different ways you could integrate PayPal into your mobile web or into your applications with the Mobile Embedded Payment Toolkit which was announced at Innovate 2009. Then we share a partner example, ShopSavvy which is a mobile comparison site, that we started to work with to embed our APi and test the Mobile Embedded Payments kit.
If you work in or you follow the mobile industry, you probably know that these are exciting times. After years of hype about 3G and mobile internet, I remember in 2000 when I was launching the 1 st mobile internet services for T-Mobile across Europe that we all believed that people would start browsing the web and downloading apps in a matter of a couple of years. Well now, finally the mobile internet revolution is happening. In the last couple of years 4 trends have been accelerating and driving the mobile internet revolution. The first one is the appearance of more powerful devices that can run multithread applications, have large touch displays and advanced media capabilities. The second one is the launch of rich software platforms like the iPhone, Android and WebOS that take full advantage of those powerful devices and create rich internet experiences The third one is the continuous rollout of 3G/4G networks that are enabling the delivery of those rich internet experiences And finally those mobile rich internet experiences are becoming more affordable as carriers are heavily subsidizing the smartphones and are offering more transparent and affordable dataplans with the objective to offset voice revenues decline with data revenues. The result is a booming smartphone adoption with about 180m smartphones that will be shipped in 2009 of which about half of them in NA and Europe. Not only people are buying smartphones, but mobile internet is becoming part of consumers life with about 26m in the US checking news and 14 m visiting social networking sites from their mobile device every day. The smartphone is also used as a computing and gaming platform with about 30-40 apps downloaded in a year and 80% of people checking app stores for new apps every week. This revolution just started and the nice thing is that those trends will continue for at least a few years. Some device vendors like Samsung believes the total number of smartphones will raise to about 500m by 2012.
And these are the best times to be a mobile developer because as you might have noticed by the iPhone ads the key differentiator for selling a device has now become the software ecosystem. So everybody is focusing on developers, developers, developers. At this stage the app stores have displaced the operator walled gardens and changed the old economics. Now a developer no longer has to go through a long business development and certification process with an operator but can drop his app on an app store and start getting paid 70% or 80% share and the opportunity to sell apps will become a sizable in the next few years.
But even though the appstore is important and in fact PayPal is accepted on iTunes and it is the only way to pay for Blackberry Appworld, when we talk about the mobile commerce opportunity it is not just about the app stores or the mobile digital content, but it is about what of much bigger online and physical commerce will move to mobile in the next few years. Japan which is a few years ahead of the rest of the world in mobile internet is clearly showing the way with mobile commerce reaching over 30% of all mobile internet revenues vs. the current 11% of the ROW mostly comprising of digital content.
But we are experiencing tremendous progress in mobile commerce from what we see on the eBay mobile app where PayPal is integrated. In 9 months the ebay iPhone app facilitated sales for $380 m dollars. This is the proof that once the consumers are presented on a smartphone a user friendly transactional experience and a trusted brand they will respond. We also see great progress on our side in general where the number of PayPal mobile transactions has grown 10X in the last year. Very encouraging for mobile commerce is also the strong popularity of online comparison shopping apps like ShopSavvy and Red Laser in the Android Market and in the iPhone appstore.
Hopefully I got you even more excited about our opportunity so now I will go over to the current and future PayPal mobile integration options.
PayPal offers integration solutions that span across : physical goods and digital goods across platforms (SMS, mobile web, clients)
For merchants/ developers with a WAP site that want to accept payments or donations. These can also be triggered from an SMS (marketing efforts or in-person). Currently available in Sandbox. Documentation is in developer portal.
The same functionality can be embedded within mobile applications using web kits that are part of the newer smart phones
We are also working on being able to re-skin these flows based on the device that you are on. A pilot with eBay is currently underway for the iPhone platform.
Billing agreements can be set up online or on the phone. These agreements can then be used on the phone (as Apple does) as long as security and UI requirements are met. These are the same agreements used with PayPal’s Adaptive Payments (with the same vetting requirements)
Now let’s look at a partner example which is ShopSavvy, a leading mobile comparison player, and their 1st experiences with testing the Mobile Embedded Payments toolkit
And to end the analogy, this is 14 days ago the Fall of the Berlin Wall Anniversary, 20 years on after it came down (no photo retouch). Together we can change the way we pay.
