eCOST.com Announces Integration of PayPal Express Checkout
eCOST.com, a wholly owned subsidiary of PFSweb, Inc. (Nasdaq: PFSW), and a leading multi-category online discount retailer of brand-name technology and consumer electronics, announced that it is now offering PayPal Express Checkout as an additional option for customers to purchase products from the eCOST.com website.
PayPal Express Checkout allows eCOST.com customers to make purchases using their existing PayPal account, and expedite the checkout process in a secure environment.

By partnering with PayPal and integrating PayPal Express Checkout into the eCOST.com site, we are now aligned with one of the global leaders in online payment solutions. We believe this addition can help drive higher conversions and lower shopping cart abandonment through increased convenience and greater flexibility for the end consumer," said Gary Guy, President of eCOST.com.
