Spare Change is designed to help users and developers buy and sell goods and services online securely and easily. You've all built some amazing applications, from games, to gifting, to social sharing. Now there is a new way to monetize these great applications. Why not have a user pay $0.50 for an extra special gift and message, pay a $3 monthly subscription for playing premium games, donate $1 to a cause, or pay $0.25 to see how one has as been rated by friends? Spare Change allows you, the developer, to charge small amounts of money which was previously both uneconomical and too hard for users to use. We've built a 1-click interface which keeps users on your applications and allows them to purchase content with ease and confidence. My team and I have over 15 years of building enterprise grade financial services applications and we think you'll like the product we've built. It's simple, reliable, and scalable. We're committed to building the best payment solution for social networking. Please take a look, experiment with your apps, let us know what you think - we're at your service.
