What is PayBuyPartner and how does it work? PayBuyPartner is a payment tool. PayBuyPartner's advertisers will pay for your Andrograde Points when you complete their offers. Some offers, such as surveys are free and require nothing but your time. Other offers may require a credit card or for you to sign up for a service via your cell phone. There are offers that require that you provide your real email address so the advertising partners may provide you future information or send you newsletters.

Is it safe? No advertising offer or survey installs any spyware, adware or malicious software of any kind. Before completing an offer, make sure you understand the requirements and only provide accurate, information you are comfortable providing.

How long will it take to get credited? PayBuyPartner displays how many Andrograde Points you'll receive and how long it will take for you for them to be awarded. Some offers credit almost immediately (within 30 minutes). Others can take a little longer, sometimes days, as noted next to each offer. Once you complete an offer, the system will tell you if your Points have been awarded. On the right side of the screen you'll see a link to the Offer Status page. If you have not completed the offer, the status message simply tells you how many Points you'll earn if you complete the offer. If you have completed the offer but your Credit has not yet been awarded, the system will display the message "Clicked".

What if I still have questions? The PayBuyPartner customer service team provides support from 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Pacific Standard Time Monday through Friday, except holidays. If you encounter problems and need support, PayBuyPartner will answer your email as quickly as possible. Rest assured, if you have properly completed an offer and followed the rules of the advertiser, you will be credited. If you do all that you're supposed to and still do not get your Points, please email PayBuyPartner by clicking on the Confirmation Question Mark under the Offer Status tab. Please only send one email as multiple messages delay response time. ]]> 2009/01/27 11:36pm Will Perone http://andrograde.com/news.php http://andrograde.com/news.php 2009/01/27 11:36pm blogged on Inside Social Games today.

Then it's as simple as using API.parameters in your game.
Example
On the Upload page game info editor under API Params type:
myfirstparam = hello
mysecondparam = world
In your game actionscript code type:
trace(api.parameters.myfirstparam); // prints out hello
trace(api.parameters.mysecondparam); // prints out world

Many people have recently asked what Andrograde points are used for. Andrograde points offers a way for Flash game creators to offer their game for free and charge a small fee for extra bonus content like extra levels and items that people who enjoy the game can get. When you have Andrograde points, you are able to get to pick and choose which of these extra features you want and revenue from those purchases goes right back to the developer of the game. Consider it like a donation with perks.
That's it for now, stay tuned for more cool stuff on Andrograde!]]> 2008/11/20 4:55pm Will Perone http://andrograde.com/news.php http://andrograde.com/news.php 2008/11/20 4:55pm finally here!]]> 2008/11/10 5:20pm Will Perone http://andrograde.com/news.php http://andrograde.com/news.php 2008/11/10 5:20pm completely new website full of nothing less than total awesomeness.

]]> 2008/10/20 4:20pm Will Perone http://andrograde.com/news.php http://andrograde.com/news.php 2008/10/20 4:20pm here. It is a work in progress. The swc include library is available for integration upon request [email will@andrograde.com].

Tired of getting pennies from Mochiads? Andrograde API allows Flash game developers total control over getting cash for their games. This is possible through the Andrograde virtual goods and currency platform. Integration into a Flash game takes as little as 5 minutes.

How it works
1. Upload your game using the upload link at the top
2. Upon successful upload your game will be given an API Code (your game will not be live on the site until you check the 'Live' checkbox). Email will@andrograde.com to get the Andrograde API SWC Library and add it to your game.
3. Make some items in your game for players to be able to buy
4. Use API.user.buy and watch the points accumulate in the uploads page everytime someone buys something in your game.
5. Get cash for your points!
