SlideME announces In-App-Payments SDK, Payouts in bitcoins, and new payment methods

Submitted by SlideME on Mon, 02/24/2014 - 12:21

SlideME has several key announcements:

Availability of the SlideME In-App-Payments (IAP) SDK
Developer Payouts in bitcoins
Mobile billing with many more payment methods to come
Users can earn virtual currency to pay for apps or purchase in-app-items

With the release of the SlideME IAP SDK, developers can monetize their freemium apps (i.e., free to download but include the option for users to purchase in-app-items) distributed via SlideME to the many Android Open Source Project (AOSP) based devices without Google Play Services. In-app purchases for users is seamless as they can continue to use our current or new payment options, including purchasing in-app items through their existing SlideME Wallet.

The sheer volume of non-Google Play enabled devices can no longer be ignored by app publishers as more device vendors are leveraging the AOSP, which does not include the closed-source apps and services like Google Play and Google Maps. Developers should have a distribution strategy for apps being distributed to these AOSP based devices .

Today at MWC, we’re seeing Nokia releasing the Nokia X device based on the AOSP, and therefore without Google Play. SlideME as of today is present on the Nokia X, and many other device manufacturers have preloaded SlideME as a respected alternative to Google Play.

ZeptoLab released Cut the Rope Experiments across a catalogue of different stores. The result? The game picked up more than 2.3 million downloads on SlideME..

Good news for developers today from SlideME. Developers have the option to be paid out in Bitcoins or to their Coinbase Wallet instantly.
