Member Billing 2.0 with ClickandBuy.com.

Published by: Henry M on Tuesday 29th September 2009 02:09pm
Hey there Zocku Owners!

We're happy to announce the release of the long awaited Member Billing 2.0 for all Zocku networks! We've been working hard to integrate our new system with ClickandBuy.com, giving you the power and control that's needed to create a multi-leveled member subscription solution. Monetizing your network has never been so easy!

You now have the ability to charge people to access premium areas within your site, which is a fantastic way to generate serious revenue and upsell your members from a 'Free' to a 'Paid' account. Want to give your members access to a free trial? No problem! Member Billing 2.0 gives you the chance to provide a 'try before you buy' offer within in your Zocku network, while the system supports multiple billing providers and accepts more forms of currency than ever before.

Impressed? Want to know how to get started?

If you don't have Member Billing already installed, head over to the 'Change My Plan' section in the Admin Centre to activate it. If you already have it, you'll need to head over to the 'Membership Billing' section and click 'Upgrade'.

You can then set up your system and integrate it with ClickandBuy.com using this step-by-step tutorial:


If you're a bit stuck, or just have a question, remember support@zocku.com is always here for you. Happy networking!

Wednesday Update

Published by: Jerry Zocku on Wednesday 23rd September 2009 05:09pm
Twitter Connect, GOCart Shopping Cart AND Profile Designer are now available in the Zocku Store.

Enjoy! And as always we welcome your feedback.

We are also currently finalising the Merchant Signup Process for ClickandBuy.com for Member Billing 2.0 which we expect to be ready in the next few days. We are currently waiting to hear back from ClickandBuy and they have confirmed they are nearly done! If you try and register directly through ClickandBuy they will not accept you.

Finally, we are rolling out updated video encoding servers this week to improve the sucess rate of encoded videos so failures will dramatically reduce.

Cheers!

Published by: Henry M on Thursday 17th September 2009 01:09pm

GOCart is here! It's an easy way to embed a powerful BuyItSellIt.com shopping cart into your social network under it's own tab.

BuyItSellIt.com is a great online shop builder that allows you to list and market your products. It supports multiple currencies, payment methods and shipping options and allows you to also upload your own HTML and files. This widget takes all the hassle out of setting up and integrating your BISI Shop with your Zocku Network.

Setup is easy:

  • Firstly, head over to the widget storage to purchase the widget.
  • Second, set-up an account directly with BuyitSellit.com by clicking here.  (Note: you have the choice to take a free account or a premium account depending upon your needs)
  • Then, email support@zocku.com with your Zocku network URL and your login details to your BuyItSellIt.com account.

Within 2 working days we will setup your store for you under a tab on your network. In the meantime you can begin to preview your content.

Expansion packs will also be available to purchase on a regular basis to increase your game arcade selection.

Twitter Connect is here!

Published by: Henry M on Thursday 17th September 2009 01:09pm
Twitter Connect is an easily installed widget that allows a user to login to a Zocku network using their Twitter account! The user's profile picture will be pulled right from their Twitter account, and they can directly update their Twitter status straight from your Zocku network.

Want to get started? Here's how:

1) Log in to your admin centre (http://my.zocku.com) and head over to the Widget Store to grab Twitter Connect.

2) Move on over to the Layout Manager and find the newly installed widget in the 'purchased' section. Drag it over to the main admin column on the left. Once it's there, double click it to open the popup window and leave it open.

3) Now you need to register your network URL with Twitter as an application.  Don't worry! It's easier than it looks. Go to Twitter.com and log in to your account. Then visit the following link and click 'Register a New Application':

http://twitter.com/oauth

4) Fill out the form, guided by the information provided on the widget popup window from your Layout manager. Remember to double check everything when you've finished!

5) Once you have completed the twitter.com Application registration process, twitter will show you a number of keys. The only keys we're interested in are the "Consumer Key" and the "Consumer Secret". Paste both of these into the widget popup window.

Click "Save" and... that's it! A button will appear under the Login area of your network that looks like this:

Using this button, your users will be asked to confirm the connection, and will then be able to Login to your network using their Twitter accounts! Amazing!

Use the search function via name, title or studio!
