PayPal Mobile Checkout Rocks

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

PayPal MobileI just had the pleasure of spending a couple of days in London with the folks from the UK and US PayPal Mobile Teams.

They’d put on an event called MUSIC (Mobile UK Summer Immersion Camp) and I’d been invited along to both attend and take the stage to speak. (A stage The Who have played on!)

There’s some very cool stuff happening with mobile and PayPal have the right tools and attitude to take the mobile payments world by storm. Funny when you consider PayPal was born 9 years ago to send payments between Palm devices, they’ve gone full circle and back to their roots!

We (Palace Marketing Ltd / web2txt) were the first merchant to go live with the brand new PayPal Mobile Checkout and had been running tests for a few weeks prior to the recent official announcements.

Follow up: Check out my article on dev.mobi - it explains how to get your account enabled with the two callback requests you need to use the checkout and even provides a PHP code sample to help get you connected.

AdMob Stats Script

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

This script will create a logged in session on the admob.com website and return the advertising spend balance, the advertising earnings balance and the number of ads which are pending.

Now you can build your own mobile site so you can login to admob.com from wherever you are. The version I’m running executes at 9am each morning and sends a text message to my phone with the results.

This script is depending on the layout of the HTML elements wrapped around values not changing, if admob.com change the HTML layout of the sections of the page where this script harvests the data from it will fail.

I’ll try to keep up to date with this and the latest release will always be available from this page.

Usage. Configure the $admob_email and $admob_pword to reflect your admob.com login details, upload admob-stats.php and admob-cookie.txt to your web space and chmod admob-cookie.txt so that it’s writeable by your server. Then call it, authenticate and it should be able to do the rest on it’s own.

For this to run you’ll need PHP with CURL enabled, I’ve read online that CURL on PHP 5+ may have problems with the cookie handling but I’ve no personal need to work around this, if you’re running PHP 5 and find a solution please share and I’ll credit you on the site for your contribution.
