inn-app payments for Android OS

We are proud to present a new product, developed by our technical specialists - the library of in-app mobile payments which are produced directly from a mobile application based on Android OS. The library is designed for selling different options offered in a mobile application with implementation of Freemium model. In-app payments library by SmsCoin project is the first of its kind within the Russian-speaking market and this is what makes it so unique. It should be noted that within foreign sector such programs already exist, but the version of SmsCoin competitively stands out from the rest – particularly since it is absolutely free of charge and it offers open source code based on BSD-license. We are convinced that there is no need to deprive our partners of the opportunity to adjust the library to different inner styles of their applications and to limit them in one way or another in general.

The requirements for using our product are as follows:

  • Android SDK OS
  • registration on SmsCoin.net website
  • sms:transit service connection
  • handler setup on your server

 

You can accept the payments immediately after the integration of in-app library. SIM card data (that is the country of residence and mobile carrier) is used for generating the payment window which saves a great deal of valuable time. Nonetheless, if the plugin have not received this data automatically, it is possible to enter it manually. Payment window includes the SMS cost. When "Buy" button is pressed, the library generates an outgoing SMS to a premium shortcode. Shortcodes list is already integrated into the plugin and is regularly updated. After the SMS is sent, the library monitors the incoming sms queue for the reply message following which the service is activated or in-game balance is replenished.

Currently in-app payments library operates with applications based on Android OS, however we consider developing similar solution for other mobile platforms.

The archive includes the library itself, a demo version of the program, server-side request handling example and the related documentation.
