Facebook has finally launched subscriptions functionality to all developers using their app platform.
Subscriptions would allow developers to offer features on a recurring payments. This functionality was announced in June and it has been finally launched.
Facebook said:
The subscriptions feature allows you to set prices based on local currency (ex: Japanese yen, British pound, etc.) and offer different levels of subscriptions. Additionally, you can choose whether to offer a free trial and for how long. People can pay for subscriptions with a credit card or PayPal account, and they can cancel from their Facebook payment settings. We also recommend that you provide a cancel option from within your app. If you’re offering both subscriptions and in-app payments, make sure it’s clear to users why you have both. For example, you might offer a monthly subscription for energy or supplies and sell vanity items through in-app purchases.
