June 16, 2011 by Mobile Payment Magazine

B.Shark, a mobile payment solution provider covering 116 countries, has announced the launch of its in-app billing API. This Billing API covers the Android platform as well as the Chinese phone platform (MTK platform).

“Our Android Applications have been downloaded thousands of times per day by some overseas users, but we cannot charge customer since we have no billing solution. Now the B.shark Android Billing API has solved our problem, and it is more convenient to communicate with a Chinese mobile billing company,” a Chinese Android developer said.

Every year around 750 million Chinese phones are exported to overseas markets, and these mobile phones adopt MTK mobile chips produced by MediaTek (a Taiwan company). Chinese phones based on the MTK platform are different from other phones, and B.Shark is the first company that can offer a billing API for the MTK platform.

The B.Shark in-app Billing API, known as BSPay, allows mobile phone manufacturers to integrate the billing solution along the in-house development and manufacturing process with a few simple steps. “It takes only 3 minutes for us to integrate the B.Shark billing API to our applications and consumers can pay for the application with one click–this API is very user-friendly,” said Jack, an Android application developer.

B.Shark is located in Shenzhen, which is the mobile phone manufacturing center of China, this makes it very easy for B.Shark to start cooperation with hundreds of mobile phone manufacturers. B.Shark provides mobile billing solutions to mobile content developers and Chinese phone manufacturers, covering over 116 countries and more than 300 operators.
