his process would make PayPal a U.S. based version to transform into WeChat, a Chinese app used for multiple purposes like messaging, social media and online payments; or Paytm, an Indian multinational technology company that is limited to e-commerce, digital payment system and finance. Just like these apps, PayPal aspires to not just limit itself within the boundaries of online payment but at the same time, introduce its “super app”.
