Facebook Payments

We are transitioning all canvas game developers away from Facebook Credits to local currency payments by September 12, 2013, 90 days after breaking change announcement. The new payments system simplifies the purchase experience for users, improves the performance of the payment flow, and makes it easier for developers to price virtual goods for a global audience. For more information, please see our local currency payments overview.

Games on Facebook are built on a freemium model, which allows people to play for free and developers to sell in-game virtual goods for profit. Start building your business on Facebook with a fast and flexible payments solution.
