Just a gripe that I will pass along in the hopes that this will not be the only payment option available in future updates to the mobile version of Product cart:
In testing, I used paypal express to pay via credit card on my mobile store. The sign up process with paypal in order to use a credit card was time consuming and difficult. At one point, I was asked to select a password but not told that I had to have letters and numbers in the password, the page just kept refreshing with no explanation as to why. I finally guessed that I needed a different password. I assumed that Paypal express was a quick and easy payment method and it is if you already have a paypal account but if you don't, we need another option here.
Also, ever since I completed that order, Paypal has been sending me marketing emails of which I never opted in and would not have done so. We are very careful with our own opted in customers and have an email marketing program in place ourselves. In our privacy policy, we state that we never allow anyone access to our mailing list or customer information and yet, Paypal has jumped on the bandwagon and confiscated our customers. In 2 weeks I have received about 4 emails from them. If I now send my customer a couple of emails, they will feel overwhelmed by emails from "us".
I realize that if a customer is ordering on mobile, most of them will already have Paypal accounts but I still think this is a bit of overkill on Paypal's part.
Could we please incorporate Google wallet or some other type of mobile payment system in the next release?
