September 8, 2008
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — For shoppers frustrated with searching online and being faced with pages of irrelevant product results and hundreds of links to sift through before finding the right items, help is now at hand from leading online payment provider PayPal.
According to a release, PayPal has teamed up with TheFind Inc., a U.S.-based shopping search engine, which will now enable U.K. shoppers to search for exclusive special offers and discounts on products from over a hundred selected retailers who accept payments via PayPal.
PayPal Offers is the first UK website to incorporate TheFind.com's powerful search technology, allowing consumers to search for products quickly and easily, without ever having to leave the secure PayPal Offers website.
TheFind.com is a comprehensive shopping search engine that allows shoppers to search multiple retailers at once, while also ranking products from the most popular stores. The website delivers search results in a visually compelling and easy-to-use format, enabling users to swiftly compare products and determine the best options.
Shoppers of PayPal Offers will see specific search results from online retailers that take PayPal Express Checkout.
Mark Hodson, PayPal marketing director, said, "We are delighted to announce this partnership with TheFind.com. The combination of PayPal Offers and TheFind.com provides a powerful online shopping experience, from product search and offer comparison to a quick and secure online checkout."
According to independent research, one in three U.K. online shoppers prefer paying with PayPal, and teaming up with TheFind.com is a further way for us to offer our online customers more convenience, with the added option of comparing and contrasting purchases, he said.
"This is an exciting announcement. People have grown accustomed to using search engines to find whatever they need, but it can be a long and tedious experience if you need to sift through a number of websites and links," said Siva Kumar, chief executive officer of TheFind Inc. "By enabling people to specifically search amongst merchants who offer PayPal as a payment option, they can easily and quickly harness the power of the entire web while simultaneously honing in on the right products in a user-friendly fashion."
