CCBill
New tools released for live
webcam sites
As the live cam sector continues
to grow, merchants operating live
entertainment websites are seeing
growth in revenue but are also aware
of the balance of converting and
retaining loyal customers while coping
with the hassle of manual fraud and
chargeback management.
With the addition of CCBill’s new
Velocity Controls for Billing System
APIs, including One-Click Upgrades,
and the cross-sale network Merchant
Connect, live cam merchants can
now simultaneously set limits to
manage their transaction volume for
all payment types. They can control
velocity on several levels, including
transaction amount, and numbers of
transactions—and use variations based
on the amount of time, or by unique
customer.
CCBill Velocity Controls effectively
offer these merchants the ability
to proactively control or “throttle”
their transactions by user. This new
functionality should help reduce
fraudulent activity on access-based
sites, while allowing the cam site’s
loyal customers to make expanded
limit purchases.
Complementing the new Velocity
Controls functionality, CCBill live cam
merchants can now also track payment
events in real time, with several new
additions to the new CCBill Webhooks.
Those interested in learning more
about CCBill Velocity Controls and
Webhooks can contact CCBill for more
details.
Elevated X
Software company debuts API
for custom template creation
Paysite CMS software company Elevated X has
published an API for designers, programmers
and web developers to better add custom
elements to their designs.
“We want to make customizing sites as
easy as possible,” said Elevated X co-founder
AJ Hall. “This PHP Templating API provides a
simple pathway for developers to avoid
custom database or AJAX calls for common
functions. It’s a big step that will allow
designers and developers to create better
Elevated X CMS themes.”
The new API makes it possible for
developers to use elements of the CMS on
any page they choose. For instance, if a client
wishes to embed specific scenes on their
members area home page, they can do this
without connecting to the database directly, or
making separate AJAX calls.
The company said the addition of the API is
intended to open its CMS software up to more
designers and developers who wish to create
CMS themes and offer site customization
services to its customers.

BadDaddyPOV.com released its first DVD through Girlfriends Films in December.
