SMS Billing

In case of one-time payment subscriber is offered to send a message with a certain text to a corresponding short code, whereupon this message can be either sent to your script for processing, or simply added to your stats. In any case, a subscriber will receive a message, containing either a common response, or your script response after processing. Different tariffing options are available (see World coverage).

You can use the following options:
• Placing a web-form on your website, that will load from SMS Online server each time. After that the subscriber will be provided with a keyword and a short code, depending on the country and the mobile network operator (further referred as SMS-World);
• After choosing a dedicated keyword, all the messages starting with this keyword (e.g. BILL) will be linked to your account. In this case, information page should contain the keyword and the short code, e.g.: "To add 20 units to your account send BILL20 to 9395".

SMS-Gate - a uniform solution for processing your subscribers’ messages. System is automatically recognizing and correcting standard subscribers’ misprints in messages, session mode is available. It also provides maximum safety and flexibility in configuring.

Subscription-Based Services

Subscription-based services enable you to use periodical payments. Unlike single billing payments, subscriptions are suited best for renovated services: providing access to premium content for a certain time, periodic delivery of some kind of information etc.

Billing amounts could be set depending on each service’s features: daily, weekly, monthly billing (along with some other periods, e.g. once each 3 days, 5 days, 10 days etc.).

Subscription is initiated by filling up a web-form on your website, or by sending message to a short code.

To install subscription-based services you can use our API. In this case subscriptions are implemented as a single web-form for all the mobile network operators (web-form is also provided by SMS Online).

Alternatively, our partners can use their own interfaces for subscription form, but this should meet mobile network operators’ requirements.

Pay-per-Click

Pay-per-Click is a service based on single MT tariffing (paid incoming message), that is activated by subscriber on the website. Service’s main feature is that the subscriber doesn’t need to send messages each time when service prolongation is needed.

In order to use this payment method, the subscriber should link his account to mobile phone number, and then verify it. Further billing will be made without sending message, subscriber only will need to press "Buy" button on the website.

This service is safer than any other payment method and is implemented on the websites with required authentication, because these accounts must be linked to users mobile phone numbers.
