Premium membership is now available! Becoming a Premium member gives additional benefits above and beyond what standard VirtaPay members already have.

What does Premium membership include?

Premium members get the following benefits:

• Ad Sharing. Actually, by activating Ad Sharing, your account is automatically upgraded to Premium membership. Note: If you have already activated Ad Sharing, your account is now upgraded to full Premium membership.
• Increased VP$. Premium members now get an increased allowance of VP$100/day added to their VirtaPay account. This amount is pro-rated and will only be added to your account each day you log in. Also, if you go longer than two days without logging into your account, you will not be back-paid for the time beyond two days.
• Upgrades for Sellers. Premium Sellers get three new features: [1] Premium Sellers can now sell up to 25 items (instead of just 5). [2] Premium Sellers can charge up to VP$50 (instead of VP$25). [3] Premium Sellers will have the Premium Seller icon shown next to the items they are selling on our Buy page.
• API Affiliate. When our API affiliate program is ready, Premium members will be allowed to participate. This program will pay up to US$50 per month (or more). We’ll let you know when this program is ready.
• And More… We will be adding more benefits for Premium members in time. We will post about it in the blog when they become available.

How do you get all the benefits of Premium membership? Just activate Ad Sharing. If the previous link doesn’t work, just log into your VirtaPay account and click the link in the main menu titled: Activate Ad Sharing.

API Update

The launch of our upcoming API (Application Programming Interface) will allow the independent creation of web services that use the VirtaPay currency. Up until now our services have been limited to only those created by VirtaPay. Once the new API is ready, anyone will be able to develop web services that integrate VirtaPay payments.

This will allow individuals and businesses to create a range of new services that use the VirtaPay currency, giving our users many more choices in how to spend and use their VirtaPay account balance.

Our developers continue to work on the API. We will release more information as it becomes available.
