It would be very useful to have feedback on the various API and services that let you bill the customers, so it's possible to compare : Security; Quality of API; Commercial reliability; Number of languages that can use it; General usage of them; Ease of set up; Economic price; Technical price. I thinking here of course of Paypal, Google Checkout but bank credit card based systems as well. I set that to community wiki since it's a very open question. BrainTree (and to some extent, other lesser payment gateways) Pros You're in complete control of the billing system You can do more complex

I’ve built a SaaS website with subscriptions, enabled by an external payments processor (which could be Stripe , Braintree , Paddle , etc.). Now this website for my SaaS has been packaged in a small WebView wrapper and is about to be released as an Android app. But on the Stripe website, I found this: Google’s developer terms require that purchases related to the app, such as premium features or credits, are made via their native In-app Billing API. – https://stripe.com/docs/mobile/android Diving deeper into Google Play’s terms, you can find this (emphasis mine): Developers offering products

Various online services have different values for maximum year of expiry, when it comes to Credit Cards. For instance: Basecamp: +15 years (2025) Amazon: +20 years (2030) Paypal: +19 years (2029) What is the reasonable maximum here? Are there any official guidelines? There is no official guideline as the credit card issuers can choose each when the cards they issue will expire. In fact they have been issuing cards for longer and longer periods of time. If you're trying to determine how far out into the future you should accommodate expiration dates for, err on the safe side and give your

How can I retrieve usage and cost data for my IBM Cloud account using a REST API? I found that there are billing related commands and I can export some data as JSON . Is there an API or SDK I can use, ideally Python? Here are some of the IBM Cloud billing commands I use: ibmcloud billing resource-instances-usage --json ibmcloud billing account-usage --json Are there equivalent APIs for that? I couldn't find a documented API but used the tracing to see how the above commands are executed. Using a valid access_token a program can call the metering host and obtain usage data for an account,

Dear AppEngine people (I understand that all AppEngine support has moved to StackOverflow - if I am mistaken then sorry for posting this here), I have a very serious problem that I hope you can help me to resolve. Yesterday I enabled billing with a daily budget of $500 on my application (friendbazaar.appspot.com), and my billing status is "Enabled". However, I am still showing that I have maxed out my usage of recipients emailed at 100 of 100. The quota was just reset 2 hours ago, and so I don't understand why this has not reflected the updated quotas based on the billing settings. This is a

I want to integrate In-App billing in the free version of my game, to allow user purchase the full version from the free version itself. I already got In-App billing working and I could easily make additional items in game available. The problem is I don't know what to do to start download of full version of the game and to actually purchase the full version from the market. To the best of my understanding, you can't use IAB to purchase a different application (full vs free). It's only used for purchasing 'items' for that particular application. What you could do is use it to: verify a

How can the price of an in-app billing item be retrieved before actually displaying the android market frontend for the in-app purchase? Currently it looks like the user only can find out the price for an in-app item in the purchase dialog and i would like to avoid to store the prices in the application for all supported currencies. It is possible now with Billing API v3. You can get information with getSkuDetails() method. Example is here . ArrayList skuList = new ArrayList(); skuList.add("premiumUpgrade"); skuList.add("gas"); Bundle querySkus = new Bundle(); querySkus.putStringArrayList(
