Games Monetization

Games Developer Center › Games Monetization
NOTE: We are moving from Facebook Credits to local currency pricing, and plan to migrate all game developers on Facebook.com in the third quarter this year. We want to provide ample time for you to review the new documentations. After launch, developers will have a minimum of 90 days to implement the updated payments infrastructure to continue accepting payments. For now, we continue to support Facebook Credits. In the coming weeks, we will provide further updates on when developers can begin integration. Learn more in our local currency FAQs and 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.

Other features to help you increase revenue and improve conversion:

Subscriptions: Expand beyond one-time payments with a new, recurring revenue stream from subscriptions. Entice new subscribers with a free trial and offer the renewal cycle that works for your game, whether that's weekly, monthly, or another time period. Game developers offering subscriptions have grown incremental revenue and increased engagement in their games.
