Supporting Windows 8
Fortumo has revealed its support for Windows 8 by announcing the launch of in-app payments for Windows 8 apps.
The mobile payments company’s service works through mobile billing, where customers pay for digital goods via their mobile operator bill. The new product enables developers to add mobile payments to any Windows 8 app, including Windows Store apps running on Windows RT and Microsoft Surface tablets.
“With the launch of Windows 8, developers now have an additional platform on which to build and distribute their applications. We will be helping them to develop new revenue streams from the get-go,” says Rain Rannu, co-founder of Fortumo. “With mobile operator billing in 80 countries, Fortumo can provide seamless payment experience for Windows users without a need to register or have a credit card.”
