Payment Service
The Payment Service enables developers to leverage a range of business models through the sale of digital goods within their applications. The Payment Service is simple and easy to implement for developers and provides end users with a fast, consistent and secure purchase experience.
The Payment Service now supports BlackBerry WebWorks for Tablet OS applications in addition to BlackBerry smartphone Java® applications. Learn about the BlackBerry® WebWorks™ SDK for Tablet OS
The SDK has been updated as of Sep. 19, 2011.
The update allows developers to offer a subscription license model which is auto-renewing. Additionally, flexible renewal periods with a free or reduced first period provide developers greater flexibility.

Offer Purchase Opportunities within Your Apps
The Payment Service SDK v1.0 is easily integrated into your app as a library. This allows you to determine when and where the purchase experience will occur, without leaving your application.
To enable the Payment Service, your app must be distributed through the BlackBerry App World™ storefront. The Payment Service provides you with the same revenue share available within BlackBerry App World, across whatever payment type users specify in their BlackBerry® ID.
The digital goods within your app are described and priced according to the pricing tiers presented in the BlackBerry App World vendor portal. Within the vendor portal, you can manage and track sales of your app and its digital goods.
New ways to monetize your app
The Payment Service enables you to incorporate options such as subscriptions, feature unlocking and pay per use into your app.
A simple, secure, end-to-end payment solution
Incorporate the Payment Service into your app. Then upload the app with its digital goods pricing and description to the BlackBerry App World vendor portal. The Payment Service manages all the technical and financials of payment for you. So you don't have to waste time managing relationships or business terms with payment providers and coding for integration into each provider's solution.
A fast, secure and familiar payment solution for end users
The Payment Service provides a familiar, fast and secure purchase experience for users. Using their BlackBerry ID, they can apply various payment methods, including credit card, PayPal® and carrier billing, towards the purchase of digital goods you define—all without leaving your app.
