PayPal has selected Australia as the next market for the introduction of its developer program, after its recent launch in the US, itwire.com reports.

The new program allows developers to access technical tools, applications and online payments resources, as well as integration and education training resources via its developer portal, the PayPal developer certification and by taking part in training seminars called Developer Days. The certification enables accredited Australian developers to get listed on a certified developer directory to connect them with potential customers, according to the same source. After receiving PayPal certification, developers will be able to display the PayPal Certified Developer logo on their emails and website.

“This is also an opportunity for developers to build their business in new market segments. PayPal’s solutions meet a wide range of payment processing needs, from enabling charities to raise funds online to helping local schools collect fees”, according to PayPal Australia’s senior manager, technical engineering, Spiro Rokos.
