Click&Buy Unveils Add-On Micropayments Software for Online Game Manufacturers

New Software to Enhance Consumer Experience

New York, NY - August 15, 2005 - Click&Buy, an ePayment platform for digital content from Webpay International, today announced the availability of a new Micropayment software module for online game manufacturers. The software allows consumers to continually buy game enhancements online without interrupting the flow of the game. Previously, the game participant would have to stop playing in order to buy extra game enhancements, such as more ammunition or other kinds of objects that allow a user to go to the next level of a game. With this new expanded service, Click&Buy allows consumers to instantly access digital content with only one click.

The new service from Click&Buy is a module that is integrated into the game, simplifying digital content entertainment for all types of online games. The Click&Buy platform allows game companies to charge different types of micropayments - anywhere from $.99 to $ 3.00 - for additional game pieces. Click&Buy, available in 15 countries, also allows its merchants to have access to its worldwide audience of subscribers and can easily convert and interchange foreign currencies, allowing easy and convenient international distribution.

Click&Buy, an ePayment service that gives consumers easier access to online digital and paid content, such as games and music, is from Webpay International, headquarted in Zug, Switzerland and New York.
