“Open payments” are now live. What does this mean for you? Open payments allow you to request payment from VirtaPay buyers using a new type of pay button.

How do Open Payments work?

As covered in the last blog post, open payments are different from the existing system—here’s how…

• Create unlimited “buy now” buttons.
• Not listed on the VirtaPay Buy page.
• Not limited to digital items. All legal products and services are allowed.
• Not rated by buyers, as Buy page transactions are.

To create an open payment buy button, just click the “Sell” link when logged in. If you’re already logged in, just click here.

Get Ready for Growth

If you haven’t already done so, you may want to activate Ad Sharing on your account.  The new API and the new open payments features will allow developers to begin creating new services that integrate VirtaPay payments. We expect these new services will draw even more people to VirtaPay. By activating Ad Sharing (along with the included Premium Membership), you could benefit from this coming growth.
