okay,i know there are a few topics on here related to irl money ect...
what i came here to do is a.ask a few questions b.give ideas c.get answers hopefully.
A
okay,so i have done a bit of research and i found out 3 main ways of getting players to pay for resources/turns/mana ect ect...
1
Paypal!,of course most of us know the famous paypal with a very lot of options like, microtransactions, donations and others.
2
Pay-By-Sms
I have seen these in a lot of games and more and more games/websites have this option for payments,the main problem with this is for some countries they will take 70% to them and you earn only 30% so only use this if you are sure people will pay,(WARNING:if you do use this REMEMBER to make it VERY CLEAR that the use of this is with parents permission or you are over the age of 18!)
3
Pay-By-Phone you could copy what i said about the Pay-By-Sms,just REMEMEBER the warning,and only 30%.
B
1.with Paypal,i would really like to know how to sell non material objects/links ect since i did not find any guide online or on the paypal site (remember this is not for only microtransactions)
2.could set on Paypal that when a user/player buys a certain thing my email account (gmail or any other mailing system) will automatically send a random id received from paypal/generated from the email so that, that player/user will enter on the website to get the turns/mana/resources?
the above question goes for the sms and phone too,
thank-you all =)
and now for your answers.
