PayPal also announced today that it has opened its PayPal X global payments platform to third-party developers, ushering in a new generation of innovative payments. The first Application Programming Interface (API) suite in PayPal X, Adaptive Payments, includes a new currency conversion API to automatically convert currencies using live exchange rates.

“The addition of these new currencies makes it even easier to use PayPal around the world,” said Scott Thompson, PayPal’s president. “Consumers have more choice in how they pay, merchants can conduct business in more markets around the world, and developers can now create multi-currency applications built on PayPal X.”
