McDonald’s, PayPal testing mobile payments

New York -- McDonald’s Corp. is testing a mobile payments service with PayPal in 30 McDonald’s locations in France.



Using the service, McDonald's customers can order food on smartphones through a McDonald's application, or online, and then pay for their food with PayPal via either the McDonald’s mobile app or a web browser. There is a separate line in the test locations to pick up the meals, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune.



To date, PayPal, which is owned by eBay Inc., has signed up more than 15 retailers, including Home Depot and Office Depot, to accept PayPal payments in their stores.
