PayLoadz Integration Incentive Program

We are pleased to announce a new program designed to reward developers for integrating the PayLoadz service into their applications by providing financial compensation for their development efforts. Payments will range from $100-$5,000 for the initial development, and will include a 10-20% revenue sharing for all new referred clients resulting from the integration.

Following the release of the PayLoadz API live Beta, we feel this is the best way to get developers on board as partners of our service. We strongly feel that by working together, we will be able to take the service in new directions that our in-house team may not have known about. We are also hoping to seize upon this opportunity to provide better services for our existing users by leveraging the expertise of third party developers.

To be considered for an Integration Bonus, please contact us and submit a brief summary of the planned integration. Based on the merits and potential usability of the application, we will give an award amount for completion of the integration. It is not limited to API development, developers can integrate into our system in any way including our RSS/XML feeds and other data sources.

Some of our interested integrations include:

  • Shopping Carts
    - osCommerce
    - Joomla
    - Volusion

New PayLoadz API Released

We are happy to announce, after a lengthy development period, that the new version of the PayLoadz API has been released in a live, fully-functioning Beta. This new system will allow any developer to integrate our services within their website or application.

The API is SOAP/XML based and is very similar in structure to the eBay and PayPal APIs as well as Google's APIs. Any developer with experience in these popular API formats should have no trouble integrating our service within their application. We have full documentation as well as functioning sample code for every call we have already built for your use.

The API allows developers to create a downloadable good, upload a file into our system, create a download transaction, and present an end user with a download link. The API also provides supporting calls for all of the above functions like transaction status and product purchase button HTML generation.

We feel this new system will be the key driving factor to the growth and new features released in our system using the talents of outside developers to take our service in a new direction. Shortly, we will be announcing an Integration Incentive Program which will provide developers with compensation for developing an application or site that uses our service.

If you have any ideas or are an experienced developer, we'd love to hear from you. We are more than willing to help anyone get this development under way. We can likely provide some financial incentive. Just give us an idea of how you see the system being used and we can take the discussion from there based on the idea's merits.

Happy Programming,

Shannon
