In a video message on YouTube, eBay CEO John Donahoe told developers that with its forthcoming acquisition of Magento, eBay would have all the pieces to create the global commerce operating system. This week PayPal outlined its plan to restructure its developers program, X.com, under its new name, X.commerce, which includes eBay’s developer program and will soon include Magento. (To clarify, X.Commerce is an eBay Inc. organization.)
PayPal’s Senior Director of the PayPal Developer Network Naveed Anwar will now run the X.Commerce Developer Network, and in a post on what was formerly called the PayPal Developer blog, he said the program would build on the openness of the Magento platform. “In fact we are going to make that process easy with more capabilities in our open commerce platform. So you can innovate more and forget about all the nitty-gritty details.” Read more on PayPal to announce online shopping login service.
