Dollar exchange rate fluctuations 23.10.2008
Highly respected partners!
As you have probably noticed, due to market situation dollar exchange rate is steadily increasing. Since the payouts made according to daily exchange rate of the dollar, we change it each day in our system according to the new exchange rate. The short code users send SMS-messages to could change accordingly, so that in the end you would receive the exact amount you specified, in dollars. If your user won't be notified and will send an SMS-message to incorrect short code, he will receive a reply message "Error. Invalid value." and won't be able to receive the service.
Owners of the services who use our standard solutions, do not have to worry about the rates scale changes and constantly updating the payment instructions on their websites. These instructions are generated automatically based on the information stored on our server in XML-file.
On the other hand, if you update SMS-message instructions manually, we urge you to automate the system of instructions update on your websites. Unlike most projects, we have a wide spectrum of possibilities to automate the process of issuing updated instructions to end-users, and strongly recommend you to use one of these. You can receive this information in XML or JSON formats from our server. Ideal solution would be to add to cron-file tasks list an hourly upload of rate scale file. In case of problems and / or questions please contact our technical support department. We are always happy to assist you with the implementation of various ideas to optimize the services, connected to our system.
