PayPal is already a trusted payment partner for millions of Consumers and Merchants around the globe but we also have a unique
opportunity to help them throughout the shopping journey, both online and offline. The PayPal Post-purchase team is passionate about
saving Consumers and Merchants time and money after the payment happens. The acquisition of Happy Returns is only the beginning of our

obsessively – finding new ways to perfect our processes and product. We work closely with our design, content, and product teams to build,
test, and iterate on new solutions to customers’ problems. And we meet with our customers every week to make sure we’re giving them the
app they expect and the experiences they deserve. But it doesn’t stop there. We have dedicated teams to support our Continuous Integration,
Quality and Release processes. All this results in your code being published in an update to the App Store at least once every 3 weeks.
