On April 23rd, PayPal already announced that it wanted to get into in-app billing for Android and iPhone. Now, the company hooked up with Scoreloop for easy access to mobile game developers.
Through the integration, developers can charge for virtual content while they don’t even need to have an account with PayPal. Instead, revenues will be processed like any other revenues coming from Scoreloop.
While most consumers have a creditcard or top-up credit in their iTunes account, this integration is very welcome to Android developers who have major problems monetizing their games and apps based on the tools Google is providing.
“Monetization is a real issue on Android. The Android Market’s payment still has quite a bit of room for improvement, so developers are relying on ads to monetize,” said Marc Gumpinger, Scoreloop CEO. “Scoreloop has already helped developers raise ad revenues with engagement tools, and with 100,000 new users per day Scoreloop is a key driver of activity on the Android platform. By adding PayPal support we now also make it easier for developers to directly monetize their games along with our virtual currency.”
“This is great,” said Hubert Sliwka, of Gamesoul studios. “PayPal is the best way to let users purchase additional in-game content, and I’m relieved that Scoreloop is taking care of everything.”
