A few months ago we told you we wanted to give you more access to premium content on Boxee (in addition to what’s currently free), and we wanted to give content owners new ways to offer and price content. Today we’re excited to announce we’ve taken a big step forward choosing Vindicia as our payments platform provider.
Vindicia’s CashBox solution will enable Boxee content partners to offer premium content through a wide variety of payment methods and plans, from individual pay-per-view charges to premium subscription models. Vindicia’s flexibility will enable Boxee content partners to price and package their content as they wish, whether it is premium content, content from their existing library, or extras that will never made it “on air.” Users will be able to purchase this content via credit card, gift card, or PayPal.
The unique solution, which handles currency exchanges, VAT, and GST automatically, will be available to content providers worldwide. Vindicia already powers great experiences for online gaming (Blizzard), online stores (deviantArt.com), and subscription software (Symantec) and we’re excited to be working with them to build an awesome experience on Boxee.
Lastly, while Boxee plans to make the payment platform available to content partners for Boxee’s unique TV experience, Vindicia’s flexibility also makes it possible for us to enable payments on our website and across mobile platforms like the iPhone, Android and iPad. Boxee’s eventual expansion to these platforms will pave the way for universally accessible content no matter where a user is (we love this idea!).
We will release the Boxee payment platform by the end of the summer.

Thanks for the KidsSprout link, my kids will be happy they can watch Barney through Boxee. A 2 and 4 year old on Boxee
Ummm… is this company public??? because i would really really like to buy some stock.
Yo, Boxee, I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but if you don't get a release date out there, your payment solutions are useless.
Get your stuff together and slap a release date. All this article is telling me is that you're chasing revenue sources & parteners, and you've struck some deal with some company that will be available at "the end of the summer". Should we be expecting the boxee box be available at "the end of the summer"?
Great, what's next. Have to say the development on the product seems really slow. Are you guys smoking some heavy weed or what? This project seems really stalled.
….ZZZzzzzzzz..Sorry to say that 'Boxee' has become such a "snore-fest". I think they just really were jazzed and made to early an announcement. If they do not come thru with a 'honest' release date soon,(3rd-4th quarter) they can say 'goodbye' to many potential customers. I'm still hangin' on for the day! By the way, since this latest "letdown", where are any comments from the,(not shy) Avner Ronen?
nice! Thanks very good for report,I follow your blog
