Amazon Flexible Payments Service seems like the perfect service. It is exactly what we're looking for.
Unfortunately, since we are not based in US (based in UK instead) it is not available to us.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar service which we can use?
We would like to sell products in both US Dollars and GB Pounds.
We need to add payment for a usage based service. The payment is similar to Amazon S3 where the customer is charged $0.1 (or similar) for every usage.
We would prefer a prepaid service. The very first time customer signs up they are charged $5 and credited that amount. They use the service until the $5 is used up. The customer should then automatically be charged another $5 to add to prepaid credit.
Or something similar would be good.
Any ideas?
I have been in contact with the FPS team and they tell me a US company is not required. But you must have a US address, bank account and credit card. With a global bank such as HSBC this may well be possible. We are currently attempting to do this, and I will be happy to keep you updated with our progress.

PayPal wouldn't work for you?

I have a free Azure account but now I have decided to never use it again. Will I be charged even after the trial period ends.
At the end of the trial period, Microsoft will notify you and you'll have to decide whether you want to upgrade your subscription to a 'pay-as-you-go' pricing model and remove the spending limit. If you do, you’ll have access to free products. If you don’t, your account and products will be disabled, and you’ll need to upgrade to resume usage.
Having access to the free products (see the full list here), note that you won't be charged if you respect the quotas specified for the free products but you will be charged for extra consumption or for using services that are not part of the free products offer.
I hope this makes sense.

I am working on a personal expense tracking application and would like to retrieve a list of orders made by a customer (me) on amazon.com.
The Amazon MWS API is described as follows:
Amazon Marketplace Web Service (MWS) is an integrated web service API that allows Amazon
sellers to programmatically exchange data on orders, payments, reports, and more.
That is clearly meant for use by sellers, not by customers. Is there any way I could retrieve that information, without having to rely on browser automation?
You will probably have to build a crawler to log into your account, browse your order history and parse the pages.
As far as finding official word on the availability of such a feature, nothing suggests there is such a thing as a customer API and rarely do people offer a list of services they don't provide. Amazon might simply consider this being too much of a fringe case to bother having one.
While it happens that certain features are simply under-documented, more often than not the absence of documentation is simply the reflection of the absence of the feature itself. And it's notoriously difficult to prove a negative. Therefore we can only reach for the most obvious answer, that there is no such thing.
A crawler is certainly less efficient than a dedicated API and prone to break on page design changes, but it is still better than nothing.

I am want to start selling Android Applications on Google Play. I have checked other forums posts, I have found:
Google takes 30% of comission. So If I sell my app for $1 => then I would receive $0.7 as revenue.
Also noticed Google Checkout also has some fees on per transaction and monthly volume basis, i.e., $0.30 + 2.9% of amount
I want to know is Google Checkout transactions will also be deducted in addition to 30% commission by Google or is it the same.
I want to keep my application real cheap (counting on bulk selling)
Can Any of you please advise what is the deal with it
Thanks in advance

I'm looking to set up a small site for a friend that has some widgets they want to sell online. I don't think I will have much time for maintenance once it goes live (for that matter, I don't expect I'll have much time for initial setup and configuration), and I am looking for something that is dead-simple for a non-technical user to maintain (financial/payment info, add/remove/change products).
The second most important part would be good integration with a payment provider. I'm not too fussy what language it's in if it meets my other criteria (if I don't know the language I will learn enough to get the site running).
Also important is that I'd prefer to stick to open-source products, mostly because I don't think this project will have much of a budget for high-end commercial products (at least not until it makes some sales).
The last time I did this sort of stuff we were building custom sites from scratch for clients with very specific needs. I do not have recent experience with the current generation of blogging tools (Wordpress, Joomla, etc...) and I don't really know which off-the-shelf combo of platforms and plugins are best to get something up and running in as little time as possible.
Hosting your own online store is a full-time occupation, no different from running your own brick-and-mortar store. Anything that accepts online payments will be targeted by criminals for online fraud.
If your business is selling widgets and not running online stores, I strongly, strongly suggest using a hosted service with its own web integration and payment handling. I know people who have used both Weebly and Etsy and who are happy with them.

I'm putting together a small start up company which will be set up with a subscription based billing model. The bill will go to customers on either a monthly or quarterly basis depending on the end user's preference. My question is two parted:
I'm new to online billing and I'm only really aware of Pay Pal when it comes to third party bill payment, but this seems more like a check out system. I'm sure there are better alternatives than PayPal for third party billing processors (I have tried Googling for them, but I'm having trouble finding exactly what I'm looking for). What options (companies) are available for third party payment processing and what types of experiences (good or bad) have you had with them?
We would like to give our customers the ability to set up recurring payments. I'd rather not store a customer's credit card number on our database as I imagine there are a plethora of compliance guidelines around this. Is there a third party solution for recurring payment processing?
On a side note, this is not necessarily a code related question and is more business focused. I wasn't sure if there was a better route for posting this question, and please commont or modify this if there is another route I should take.
You can also look into Amazon Flexible Payment System. I implemented this for a customer and the API, at least, was very easy to work with, and Amazon seems solid and trustworthy as near as I have been able to tell.
Take a look at http://chargify.com/
There are many business out there that will fit the bill. Be sure to look for a solution that believes in Credit Card Data Portability - which means that they'll transfer your credit card data to another vendor should you want to leave them in the future.
You have many, many options. Take a look at Recurly (where I work), Chargify, Stripe, CheddarGetter, Authorize.net's ARB, PayPal's recurring billing, Braintree, etc.
