Smart TV App? Buy it with boxPay


Today's televisions are getting smarter; Smart TVs have apps and internet access, bringing televisions into the same interactive realm that our iPads and smart phones currently occupy. While these apps provide cool, new features and customized content, they're not all free. There can be costs for the apps or for in-app content, and paying for these can be a hassle.

A new company, boxPAY, will be showcasing its newly developed Smart TV payment service, which allows users to purchase Smart TV apps or make in-app payments and charge these purchases to their mobile phones, without registering anything or entering credit card information.

The company will demonstrate the newly developed Smart TV service at E3 2012 (booth #2858). Instead of entering credit card information or registering anything, customers can choose to make a mobile payment, and boxPAY uses carrier billing to verify the transaction and add the cost of the Smart TV app to the customer's mobile phone bill or prepaid balance.

"Smart TV apps are becoming hugely popular. boxPAY makes it easy for TV manufacturers and TV app developers to generate better responses rates with an in-app mobile payment option that enables instant buying. boxPAY also provides a comprehensive API development guide and technical support to ensure a smooth implementation."
