>> live from Las Vegas. It's the Cube covering magenta. Imagine twenty nineteen. Brought to you by Adobe. >> Welcome back to the Cube. Live from Las Vegas, Lisa Martin with Jeff correctly or coming to you from Magenta. Imagine twenty nineteen with about thirty, five hundred or so folks here. Big community, big open source spirit. We're very pleased to welcome from the keynote stage. Jenny Chang, The pee at PayPal. Jennie. Welcome to the Cube. >> Thank you. Thanks for having me, Lee. >> So really enjoyed your keynote this morning. We'Ll get into a lot of the specifics, but just looking at Magenta Oh, Adobe, This evolution of e commerce that's really driven by consumers. We want to have everything right on her phone as easily as possible. We went out lightning fast. Talk to us. About From what? You seen this evolution of e commerce and where we are today. >> Yeah, It's been a fascinating journey. Toe watch us move from point no sale, mood from brick and mortar Teo online and engaged. And I think as part of that, you know, you think about the amount of time you spend on your mobile phone. It's not surprising that most sites. Fifty percent of the visitors on that site are on their mobile devices, and they're staying longer. Maybe you're killing time, right? Waiting for your husband to finish something or your child to come out of class. And so we naturally tend to get on our mobile phones, and we look for things to do so that engagement on the mobile phone it becomes absolutely critical and what's been fascinating As part of the conference, we've been sharing some early results about mobile optimization. And what we're finding is, even though engagement is going up from a mobile phone, revenue is not there. >> The gap. >> Yeah, there's a big, big gaffe, and you look at that. And you think, Well, I need to figure out how to actually convert some of these people coming to my website. So we've been partnering with a lot of the Sai community here, really interest in trying to understand best practices, and it's been a fun process for almost the last year. Things that you would think would help conversion don't necessarily help. And then the very, interestingly enough, other things that you may have said well, that seems unnecessary or busy on my mobile phone are actually improving conversion. So we've been really just sharing our early results in really encouraging everyone to participate. It's free, and we want to do is really come up with best practices and really help everyone essentially convert more and get more revenue. >> There's two things that strike me. It is you say that one is just the behaviour of a mobile phone in interaction is so different. You said. It's often when you're waiting, waiting in the grocery store line, you're waiting to pick up your kid your weight. So it is a much more kind of frequent fast in and out which which we keep hearing right. You need to connect with people over time in both the ways. But the other thing, when you say the conversion is actually not as high as you would expect. But at the same time we're hearing now that the content is so much so important and having things that aren't directly commerce to drive your engagement with that client in the way of content and forums and other things. I wonder if maybe that's why the conversion is there. You're getting him there, which is great they're hanging out longer, which I'm sure is a terrific metric. So maybe they're not converting because they're engaging with that other content arm or engaging with the brand. A >> combination of a couple things and one of them tear point is, you know, for better, Worse. You're easily interrupted when you're on your mobile phone to >> just trip when >> we have you, how can we quickly get to you? Pass that point of check out right? And I think part of that is, as you know, it's if you're like me, I will. Fat finger. You know, I have a difficult time typing on my mobile device. So wanted things we talk a lot about is removing that friction. So how do you make it really easy? See right. So if you're able to store your credentials, if you're able to make it simple to check out right, that's ultimately the goal for a lot of our merchants here, which is when we've got you. We've got to capitalize on your attention right at that moment in time and make it super easy for you to convert one of things that's been interesting about the optimized kind of mobile optimization results we've seen is that what we're finding is that a lot of people, what they're looking for at that point of engagement is coupon codes and you get distracted. You'LL think Well, I'm going to buy that. But maybe I need to go look for a coupon. >> Go back to my email me >> on And so you know So there are a lot of interesting ideas that were having as a community to share. How can we do that? How can we make sure? Maybe you get your coupon code, but you don't click off and disappear and maybe forget to come back on. I notorious for doing that. I'm also notorious for putting something in my shopping cart getting distracted and walking away. And so I think a lot of it is looking at these various ways to make sure you are back and engaged. And I think this is a big part of where the journey will go with the Palmers going forward. I think we'LL be looking at now that we've got your eyeballs. Now that we've got your time, how do we convince you this is going from a browse mode? Teo actual shop mode, >> right, creating more shop, a ble moments as magenta is marketing, material says. But also to your point about simplicity, probably for even any any generation is its basic marketing. Don't deliver a great piece of content and have a hyperlink in the first sentence that's going to take your audience somewhere else. Keep me in the experience. Use enough money. What do you say? Enough of the data to where it's going from. Creepy Teo >> Magic, Right, Right, right, right. If it works, it should be magic, right? But I already bought the tent. Now I need it. I need a sleeping bag. Don't keeps his enemy tent ads, right? >> Right. But that simplicity is sort of in AP in experience. Consistency is really key. Otherwise, your point and your point. We're doing this often while we're doing something else. There's a lot of multitasking going on. Make it easier, but also use the data with these systems that you're integrated with to know exactly. I bought it sent. I don't need one, but I might need that these other things >> right, right. And I think that's really where things are moving with artificial intelligence and machine learning We're trying to understand us a shopper and be able to predict right What else? You know, Bond from the tents. Now, maybe it's time to get a low. You know, uh, camper, maybe that's your next step up, right? Maybe you move into an RV. Who knows? Right. So I think there are evolution's to that buying experience >> with other evolution. Which people is that the very beginning was the alternative payment methods, right? Not not just your basic credit card or cash. And I don't know. It's a lot of people know that you guys have venmo, which if you have kids, you know we don't have young kids. You don't know what Venmo is. I wonder if you've got a take on, you know, as these alternative methods by come up and then we're also surrounded with alternative financing types of platforms where they're not using traditional FICO scores. They're not using kind of a traditional apply get approved process. It's really dynamic on the financing side as well. >> Yeah, onto your point. So PayPal. One of our best kept secrets I like to say is that we have both Braintree and Venmo is part of our overall services and then even broader than that. What we've done is packaged up the ability to really think about alternative pay methods based on what region you're on as well, because depending where you are outside the U. S. You might actually use a completely different payment method. And I think for us in the U. S. Were not as familiar with some of these other payment options. And what it does is it really allows for a lot more cross border trade as well for our merchants as they would look and offer kind of what is most relevant again. Get to you to go from brows mode to actually check out mode and to get to that actual conversion piece. So that's one of them. And then I would say, just generally on the credit comment, we actually credit at PayPal as well. And what we're always looking at is what our other ways we can help people finance and really kind of worked through the evolution of payments. I think some of the statistics that you've probably heard related to savings in the US, especially it's a bit staggering that we have, on average, uh, majority people have less than four hundred dollars in savings there, one paycheck away. And the reality is, it's tough. That's a really, really tough. And so I think, to be able tio, have a source of credit where you could bridge that gap and, to your point, not have to go through the entire credit processes. Sara Lee I think having those options are always good. >> Talk to us about what you guys are doing with Walmart. He showed that you came here this morning that it was very interesting from a collaboration. A partnership standpoint. >> I'm very passionate about this because pay panelists overall has a mission of democratizing financial services, and I think we're very fortunate being in high tech and being in the situation. We are where we're able, Tio not be intimidated necessarily by all this new technology on all the different options out there. So the partnership with Walmart was at the end of last year, and it really was looking at How do we get people access to their papal dollars easier, Faster and we continuously see this divide between the digital on the physical realms of accessing money. And so we opened up an option partnering with WalMart for us, which is it's really easy to rip a pal out. You bring up a unique bar code, you can go into a Wal Mart store and essentially like a debit card. It debits it out of your PayPal account and the Wal Mart cashier hand. You're the catch, which is super convenient again and an easy way to get to your money if you need something immediately. So I'm really excited. Proud of that, >> he said. You launch that last year. Some of the data, the market data that demonstrated that this was a good direction, her paper out to go in to be able to open up. This is a CZ, the ability to give people more access to their dollars, whether they're online or in physical locations. >> Yeah, I think it's someone of those overall statistics. We look at a lot because we're really looking at continuously bridging our open two sided network. We've got this great merchant face twenty one million merchants and then we're at almost round track to be almost three hundred million consumers, and we can we look at the consumer side and you think about Venmo you think about papal? We really started as a peer to peer right now, right? Oh, I owe you twenty bucks for dinner last night. Let me pay, pal. You that money, let me venmo you that money. And at some point, the question becomes will. Then how do I easily access my money? How do I make sure that I have access to it again? Not just digitally, but physically. And I think when we're looking at those realms, we're looking at more options to give people that ability, that if they need to get to that cash quickly, that can get to it quickly. They don't need to worry about getting to a bank. Um, you know, I think the reality is it's easier to get to a lot of Wal Mart stores in the U. S. Then it is necessarily to every bank out there. And so I think we're constantly looking at where can partnerships really add value to our overall customer base? And as I mentioned this morning's keynote, I love when partners really can work together and it becomes truly, you know, a little bit of a trite saying. But no one plus one is greater than two scenario, and I think when you can do that, it adds so much value to both sides of the equation. That's was really exciting for me. That's why I love partners, >> but also giving cut consumer's choice. Where you think this morning in your keynote, you showed this cute picture daughter approved your girl's in that ten years ago and then today, and, you know, ten years ago you couldn't just go in on happened order groceries. Now you were saying, when you know your mom would have to get multiple stores to get what you want, and now we can get it so easily. But there's also this sort of interesting dynamic where people still want to have that physical interaction, depending on the type of product or service. So being able to give customers that choice of being able to transact it through the app online or being able to access their money, for example, your Walmart. I mean, oftentimes, if I'm running out running errands and I don't have my wallet, and I know all right, I know the stories I can use bright certain payment methods from my phone, and that's great because I had that choice. And that's something that seems like PayPal is working to facilitators meeting consumer demand. Where it is. >> Yeah, I think that's the reality of what? Where we live right now, which is our customers want us there at that point of engagement. So don't make me necessarily. Come, Teo, you I would like you to come to me and you know, for better. Worse. It is a little bit of the overall experience that they're looking for, which is to say, I've got my favorite places to either shop or engage on my mobile device. So make it easy for me. And I think that's ultimately what we're kind of looking for. I know is a working parent. I'm always looking for convenience than I've just said. I'm gonna write a book on convenient parenting like that gets work for me. >> That was part of that. We'd be a bestseller. I think parents of humans or canine think we could all use any inspect a >> furry child as well. So yes, >> I'm curious what we're going to see in the next year, too. With that conversion of actually enabling an organization to not just have a great mobile experience, whether it's with like progressive Web maps that they were talking about this morning. But it's one thing to have a great mobile experience. It's a whole other thing to convert that to revenue. So curious to see with partnerships of papal, for example, with Beno how merchants of any sides are actually able to start increasing conversion from visitor to revenue. >> And I mentioned it as part of what we're doing with what we're calling smart payment buttons. And I think that's smart. Payment button concept is really again focused on giving you options to check out with whatever is easier for you but also looking to say, Let's make it easy. So how do you do that without having to type everything again? Because if you're an avid online shopper like I'm not, it's It becomes tiresome to feel like you have to sign up at every website, or you have to enter all your shipping information again your payment information. And so I think it's really looking at How do we give you that digital wallet access so that you have the ability to make it easy? Yes, and I think that's ultimately What we're kind of all looking for is how do you make it convenient? Easy for me to do what I want to do and do what I have to do. >> Spend more of my money. Thank you so much for joining me on the Cuban. Talking about what you guys are doing. A papal with your partners with Gento, etcetera. It's very interesting. And we look forward to seeing great things to come and not focus by long Communion. Parenting? Yes. Watch out like an advance. Copy you? Yeah. Thank you. Pleasure. Okay. For Jeff Rick, I'm least Martin live. The Cube is alive. Magenta. Imagine twenty nineteen from Las Vegas. Thanks for watching.
