ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2003

PDG Software, Inc., a leading provider of Internet commerce software for companies of all sizes, announced today the integration of PayPal Payment Services into PDG Shopping Cart 2002 and PDG Commerce 2003.

The integration of PayPal is the latest example in PDG Software's continuous efforts to add value to its already feature rich e-commerce and shopping cart software products. Now e-commerce Web site owners using PDG Commerce 2003 or PDG Shopping Cart 2002 together with PayPal can provide their customers with efficient and affordable credit card and check processing.

"The integration of PayPal into our products provides Web merchants with another superior payment service option," said Doug Blackburn, Director of Sales at PDG Software, Inc. "Now PayPal merchants requiring advanced shopping cart functionality have an affordable e-commerce option, and PDG Software merchants are no longer required to open their own merchant account and integrate complex transaction platforms into their sites."

PDG Shopping Cart 2002 is full-featured, highly robust shopping cart software for Web stores. PDG Shopping Cart 2002 is completely HTML template based, which allows customers to completely integrate it into their Web site. PDG Shopping Cart 2002 also features an easy-to-use Web-based graphical administrator.

PDG Commerce 2003 features the ability to store customer and order information, as well as product catalogs, in readily accessible database formats that can be shared with other fulfillment and accounting applications. Customers can return to the Web store, log in, and make new purchases with ease - PDG Commerce 2003 remembers all of the customer's non-sensitive contact information.
