General Frequently Asked Questions

SlideME is a Community & Content Marketplace, uniting developers and users.

SlideME offers products, services and experience that help promote small Android developers and their creative efforts, without locking them into any closed standards. We are focused on addressing and helping developers gain quality assurance and financial rewards in this exciting multi-billion dollar industry.

Our goal is to create a new type of mobile application ecosystem, characterized by open standards and undisrupted application delivery and distribution throughout the value chain.

SlideME's goal is to provide end-to-end service for Android developers and their applications – from stocking to delivery, to monetization. It is all about mutual support amongst the community of Android developers, driving growth of this exciting open mobile platform.

SlideME is more than a catalogue of Android applications. It's the basis of a new model with emphasis on promoting android applications and a payment system for processing micropayments with highest payouts in the industry. This includes safeguarding consumers shopping experience, whilst transacting from within their mobile handsets.

SlideME is more than just a catalogue of Android Applications.

SlideME is the first Android Application Marketplace launched in April 2008 with its ‘on-device’ App-Store client SAM. Since then we have built a complex architecture to be able to provision ‘sub-Application’ Stores from Apps within the SlideME catalog for different markets. The various Channel Partners consist of the top tier OEM’s in the industry, ranging from the likes of HTC, Samsung, Motorola, HP, LG, Acer, Asus Garmin, Sony Ericsson, Olivetti, Pandigital, People of Lava, and many more device vendors and service providers.

SlideME provides a complete Managed App-Store Service™ to its Channel Partners, being the first to power Android devices beyond mobile handsets, such as tablets, MID’s, E-book readers, Android TV’s, whilst delivering compatible applications from SlideME's multiple distribution channels to such devices.

SlideME will be the only choice for device vendors and Channel Partners, to earn revenue from Applications sold via their SlideME Distribution Channel.

SlideME will be the first to power an Application Store for Android Smart TV’s. See the People of Lava blog post.

SlideME can be considered the single entry point for developers and publishers to submit their Applications for global distribution into various device types and across our multiple Distribution Channels.

SlideME is a global store with no country limitations – for both developers and consumers alike.

For Developers (15)

Clarifications for developers, uploading applications, price setting, etc

SlideME provides the option for developers to add descriptions to Applications in other languages your Application supports (compiled with other locales). Currently the Short Description, Long Description and Application Name title, can be translated into such other languages (locales) supported by the compiled Application.

Note: the main title of the Application as it exists from the Android Manifest cannot be edited. This comes from the Android Manifest.

To add Translations, developer can visit the Application profile from the Translations tab.

The translated textual information will appear within the SlideME Market App (SAM) and appear within the "Local Apps" listings dependent on the language SAM is used in and users country. The purpose of this feature is to present localized Applications to users from such countries and in their native language.

The username that you use when you register is also used as your developer profile name and is displayed under each application. If you wish to change it, please contact us through http://slideme.org/contact

Please note that special characters or spaces are no longer allowed in the username. Only latin characters and numbers can be used.

The title of the application is not editable in SlideME. The label name is extracted from the Android Manifest of each application. If you wish to change the name, edit the Android Manifest and re-upload the application. Do not create a new node, update the existing one by replacing the old apk.

For applications that have additional language locales, you have the option to add 'Translations' based on the supported languages your application has been compiled with. From this option you are able to add foreign text to your title of your application in addition to the short and long description fields. Your application can appear in users native language with this "Local Apps" feature from SlideME.

Login to your SlideME developer account and go to the application you wish to update. Click on edit. Replace the apk with the updated one.

Please note that if the updated apk has a new package name, application name, label or permissions, your application will go back to the approval queue.

Your application will be checked and approved by the SlideME staff. Please note the following that will help speed up the approval process:

  • Application permissions – try to keep the permissions to a minimum. If your application requires extensive permissions do explain why on the application description, especially for permissions requiring access to personal data or cost money.
  • Application icon – An application icon has to be uploaded as well.
  • Application description – Make sure that you have entered a short and a long description, explaining what your application offers.
  • Developer – If you are a new developer on SlideME, make sure that the information within the application matches the info of your developer profile, as we need to make sure that the person uploading the application is the actual developer or company who has the rights.
  • Types of application – Some types of applications are not allowed on SlideME. These are real gambling applications and applications with adult content. We might deny other types of application on our discretion. If your application has questionable content, please contact us to make sure that it is allowed.
  • Duplicate applications – Duplicate applications will not be approved. Updates should always be made on the existing application node.

Yes, indeed. SlideME's SlideLock can help you with this.

No, this fee will be paid as soon as funds get credited to your MasterCard debit card.

Non-US tax residents, require to complete a W-8BEN form and submit it to SlideME. This completed form is only kept internally for SlideME's records. This form simply confirms to SlideME you are not a US tax resident.

To find out, click on the link below to go to Wikipedia’s article on the W-8BEN form.

Depending on your jurisdiction, this may very well be requested prior to any remittance to you. Non-US providers should research further what a W-8BENis.

SlideME currently supports payouts via Paypal & Bank wire transfer.

The process for a developer to publish a paid application and receive payout:

1. Create an account on SlideME as a developer.
2. Stock your applications to SlideME's inventory
3. Choose if you wish to protect your applications with SlideLock
4. Publish your applications for resale
5. SlideME will issue a report on the number of applications sold, so developer can raise an invoice to receive payment.

Update: The new updated agreement process will not require developer to issue an invoice per Payout. The system will also automate payouts to your chosen account.

For our "Rate Schedule", refer to http://slideme.org/rate-schedule

The Payout dues, are based upon the payment method used by the consumer. This model has been implemented to maintain highest payouts to developer and to permit SlideME to adopt multiple type of Payment methods the consumer can utilize from any parts of the world or entity. Every payment method has its own processing fees. E.g, introducing carrier billing by X carrier, the carrier could set a fee of 20%. A prepaid card from country Y could have processing fees consisting of a % and a fixed rate per transaction.

Example:
An applications is published by the developer at a fee of $1.00
The consumer uses Amazon Payments as a payment method (fees: 5% + $0.05). The developer will receive $0.90
If the same application purchased via Amazon Payments and is sold to the UK since the UK has a Sales Tax rate of 20% VAT, the developer will receive $1.00 / 1.20 - ($1.00x0.05+0.05) = $0.73

**SlideME handles the Sales Tax complexities. With SlideME the developer is not required as set out in the Android Market Terms & Conditions to apply sales tax, collect the sales tax and remit to the country authorities the collected sales taxes.**

More details:

If you reside outside the USA, all SlideME will need is for you to sign a W8BEN form. This form needs to be sent to us before we can remit payment to you. This is quite a simple form to confirm to SlideME that you are a tax citizen/resident of your country and that we do not need to withhold any fees from your payout when paying your invoice.
http://slideme.org/faq/payout-non-us-developers/what-w-8ben-form

We payout once you reach the minimum of $100 USD (request if you need a payout sooner*). We send you a report of sales and what is owed to you and based on this report you generate an invoice that you send to us, so we can remit payment to you. On this invoice you state how you wish to receive payment from SlideME, like a normal business transaction. Along with report, you will also receive a template invoice to assist you to format the invoice according to our requirements.

The process is very much like a normal business transaction. You provide us items to resell > we report to you what we have sold > you issue an invoice for your items SlideME has sold > we pay against this invoice.

For any applications that have VAT applied to them or a sales tax, we purchase your item minus this sales tax. The rate you wish to sell your application will be the final price to consumer. SlideME takes care of collecting applied sales taxes to customers invoices and remits accordingly to the acquiring authorities.

Further terms are in the developers agreement, when you upload an application.

Please note: The system does not yet automate and issue a report for when you reach the $100 minimum. Please contact us if you believe you have reached this minimum to process a report. This feature should be implemented so content publishers/developers can generate the reports on their own and issue invoices accordingly to SlideME to receive remittance.

* The payout limit set to $100 is only for keeping administration resources to a minimum and making it worthwhile for developer to receive the highest payout with minimal remittance fees. If you would like to receive payouts sooner, do contact us at SlideME and our friendly staff we will be glad to accommodate your requirements.

The payment flow is as such. Buyer selects application, submits payment details and upon authorization we deliver the application.

If for some reason the application fails to install, we are not prepared to absorb the processing cost. Therefore such nominal processing fees will be debited from your account, viewable in the transactions section of your account.

For details on such fees please refer to the the http://slideme.org/rate-schedule

A chargeback is when a real card owner claims they never made such a payment or dissatisfied with product. We will present all the relevant information on the details link of the transaction appearing in your account. The chargeback if any will be deducted from your account.

Most of the payment methods we're deploying will not have a chargeback risk. For credit cards transactions, unfortunately such risks exist.

SlideME has partnered with Retail Decisions, a world leader in credit card fraud prevention, in order to combat fraud and further reduce chargebacks. More information about ReD is available at http://www.redplc.com

For rates and chargeback fees, refer to: http://slideme.org/rate-schedule

We gave this matter serious thought. With so many countries having their own sales, value added, state and consumer taxes, and being in a competitive landscape, we suggest it is best to set a final selling price for your applications globally and have sales taxes deducted where applicable.

Example:
$10 including sales taxes set as final price, selling in x EU country (e.g 17.5% VAT) equates to your actual selling price excluding VAT as $8.51 (formula: $10/1.175)

This sales tax is not related to any income tax or possible withholds from the US tax office.

Related links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_the_European_Union

An important part of our offering, is that we handle the sales tax issues on behalf of you (the developer) and there will be no further sales tax declarations required from your side in the US & EU, since we handle the submissions including WA state sales tax & VAT in all EU member states.

Related FAQ article: How do I get a refund for my purchase if the application doesn't work on my device?

Yes.

You can also shop from the SlideME Market(SAM) application installed on your device when your SlideME Wallet has available balance.

SlideME Wallet is an easy way to initiate purchases from SlideME. Just deposit the amount you want (minimum $5 USD) by choosing this option from your Billing and Payments page and start purchasing right away. Currently we support Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express for adding funds to your SlideME Wallet but more loading-payment options are on the way.

Using your SlideME Wallet balance, you can purchase applications from the SlideME website accessible from your browser or from the SlideME Market(SAM) application from your device. Please make sure that the application is compatible with your device before purchase. The collection and download takes place from the SlideME Market(SAM) application (by accessing your StorageLocker) on your Android device.

Refunds for purchased applications will be credited to your SlideME wallet.

Withdrawals of funds from your SlideME Wallet is not permitted.

SlideME offers many payment options for users. Below you can see each one, how to set it up and decide which one fits your needs.
  • Billing Agreements: Setup a Billing Agreement through “Billing and Payments” on your SlideME profile. By using a billing agreement, you can purchase applications using SlideME’s SAM on your Android device, without the need to enter sensitive information (card numbers, PayPal logins, etc) every time you make a transaction. You can setup a billing agreement using the following payment methods:
    • Paypal: A valid funding source such as a credit card that supports variable recurring transactions must be linked to your Paypal account. If you only have a balance available, this option cannot be used. Please use the WebBUY option instead.
    • Amazon Payments: A valid funding source such as a credit card that supports variable recurring transactions must be linked to your Amazon Payments account.
  • TopUp your SlideME Wallet: You can deposit funds to your SlideME Wallet with Paypal, Visa, MasterCard Discover or American Express for purchases either through the SlideME website or from the SlideME Market(SAM) application. Please note that if the balance cannot cover the cost of the application you wish to purchase, you cannot combine with a Billing Agreement payment model. You will have to topup your wallet with an amount equal or greater than the difference required, but not lower than $5 US.
  • WebBUY: By choosing to pay using the WebBUY process, you browse the application catalog on the SlideME website and the transaction takes place from your preferred browser. The download of the actual application is achieved using SlideME’s SAM, by logging in to your StorageLocker. Paid applications cannot be downloaded from the SlideME website. If your Paypal account only has a balance, and no funding source (card or bank account) linked to it, or your funding source doesn’t support variable recurring billing as required for Billing Agreements payment model, you can use the WebBUY option instead to purchase an application.
    • Purchase of a single application: This is a single purchase that can be initiated from the SlideME website.
    • TopUp your SlideME Wallet and purchase of a single application: If you plan on buying more applications in the near future, you can deposit an amount of money to your SlideME Wallet, which will then be used to pay for the applications you want.
    • Use your SlideME Wallet balance: If your SlideME Wallet balance can cover the price of the application you want to purchase, you can use this option.

Now you can also purchase directly from the SlideME website using WebBUY (PayPal only currently supported) if you prefer not to setup a Billing Agreement.

With WebBUY the purchase will be initiated from any web browser (not SAM). You will be presented with several purchase options:

  • Use your available SlideME Wallet balance if you have previously added funds to your SlideME Wallet account.
  • Pay directly for your purchase only, in one go.
  • Pay directly for your purchase and at the same time add funds to your SlideME Wallet for future purchases.

By having available funds in your SlideME Wallet, you will be able to use the WebBUY link next to any application from any browser to purchase. Once purchased, it will be available for collection from within SAM’s StorageLocker.

Make sure that the application is compatible with your device before you purchase. Carefully read all the details from the application profile. If in doubt, contact the developer of the application.

Refunds will be credited to your SlideME Wallet account.

If you are only interested in adding funds to your SlideME Wallet, please choose the "Add funds to your SlideME Wallet" option from the Billing & Payments section.

Please note that no download occurs after a WebBUY on your PC or device. The purchased item can be collected from your StorageLocker account, where it will be available for downloading along with all the other previously purchased applications. You can access StorageLocker from the SlideME Market (SAM) client installed onto your device. From SAM, press Menu > More > StorageLocker and login with your SlideME credentials to access your purchased applications (providing applications are still kept published by its developer).

When sending a message to SlideME using the contact form, make sure that you have entered a valid e-mail address and that you have chosen the correct department.
If your ticket is successfully sent, you will receive an automated response along with a ticket number. If you do not receive a response from our support staff within 24-48 hours after that, reply to the automated message. Do not open a new ticket.
If you do not receive the automated response, please check your spam folder and make sure that you have the slideme.com and slideme.org domains in your white list.

If an application you have purchased doesn’t work on your device, you should first try to notify the developer informing him of the problem. Any feedback, including device specifications is valuable for the developer so he can improve the application compatibility across more devices. This way the developer will be prompted to provide an update with a fix. To contact the developer, login with your SlideME account, find the application and click on the developer’s username below the application title. Click on the contact tab and fill out the form to contact developer directly. You can also submit a public comment under the application itself. Do not forget to include your device specifications. If the developer is unable to provide you with a solution, he/she should inform SlideME to execute the refund. If the developer fails to respond, contact SlideME and provide copy of the complaint to SlideME to escalate.
Please note that a refund is only possible within one month of purchase.

* Withdrawals of funds from your SlideME Wallet is not permitted.

Upgrade to the latest version of SAM. To download SAM, simply point the web browser on your device to http://slideme.org/sam.apk and follow the installation prompts. This error occurs if you are using a device that doesn’t have a SIM module (like a wi-fi tablet) with an older version of SAM.

When establishing an Agreement between your Paypal account and SlideME, SlideME will send a small initial charge to your Paypal for $1.00 USD and will immediately cancel this small charge, as you will be able to see if you login to your Paypal account. You will also receive an email from PayPal that a $1.00 charge was initiated to your PayPal account. An email from PayPal is not sent unfortunately when this transaction is canceled by SlideME on your PayPal account.

SlideME does not seek applications to be published on SlideME nor does SlideME harvest illegally application meta-data from the Android Market (to appear we have content, like some others...).

The developers/publishers that have the rights to that particular application can only be the ones to publish their application on SlideME. If you have their contact details through a website or a blog, let them know that you would like to download/purchase their application through SlideME. This will help you and other users see more applications on SlideME and provide more global reach to the developer's application.

If you want to see more applications on SlideME and prefer to shop from SlideME knowing you will receive great support no matter what the issue is, simply let developers & publishers know that SlideME is your only option.

Check the status of your transactions on your SlideME profile. Only completed transactions will appear in your StorageLocker. If your transaction has the status of Delivered, allow for some time for it to be completed.

All applications that you have purchased and appear in your transactions as 'Completed' can be found in your StorageLocker.
You can access your StorageLocker from your Android device using the installed SlideME Market (SAM). Press the 'Menu' button while in home screen of SAM (or Categories to go to home screen of SAM), then click on 'More' and then 'StorageLocker'. Log in with your SlideME credentials and you will see all the applications you have purchased. You can download them again for no extra charge, providing the developer maintains the application as 'published' on SlideME.

More info on the SlideME Market (SAM) application can be found from this link,
and can be downloaded anytime by entering this URL "http://slideme.org/sam.apk" in your devices browser.

You can access your StorageLocker to download your applications you have already purchased in case of a device reset or an application update. Also, the applications that you have purchased through WebBUY will also be available for collection from your StorageLocker.
Only purchases with transactions have the status 'Completed', can be downloaded without being billed. You can see the status of your transactions once logged in from Web.

If an application does not appear in your StorageLocker even though the transaction status on your profile is completed, and you cannot find the application in the SlideME website, this could mean that the developer has decided to unpublish his application for his own reasons. You should contact the developer directly from his profile’s contact form to request further updates or a re-download of the application. Do include your transaction ID and copy of the invoice receipt when initiating contact with developer as proof of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact SlideME’s support if you require assistance.

You may have noticed some charges on your card statement.

These do not necessarily mean they are 'settled' charges, as they could be only 'reserves' so SlideME has the right to charge/settle later.

SlideME uses the two-step process for processing transactions.
a) We request for an 'authorization' from your card issuer to 'reserve' the right to eventually 'settle' the transaction. This is 'Received' status under 'My-Transactions'.
b) Second step, upon 'success', SlideME then 'settles' the transaction, which will update the initial 'Received' status to 'Completed'.

If you are in doubt, we would like you to confirm if indeed you were charged more than you should have been. You can verify this from visiting your My-Transactions tab from within your account.
Only orders that have status as being "Completed" have been settled after being reserved.
Other transactions, indicate a reserve to settle, which means we have received the authorization to eventually settle if needed, so to charge accordingly. Only one of the application transactions will be 'Completed' if there are multiple attempts to download the same application.

We require to create a 'reserve' even on every attempt you initiate, which means we then receive an authorization, so we could later 'settle' to charge if needed.

Some orders could appear just as a reserve, which means we authorized but not settled. Since the transaction was not completed it will be released from reserve and not settled, hence you would not be charged.

If you could confirm these extra charge(s) you see from your card issuer(bank) as a 'settled charge', do please inform SlideME support immediately.

Reserves or the authorizations that appear on your card statements take more than a few days to be released, where they can not be settled any longer.

Therefore you should see only one 'Completed' per application transaction and all others for that same application will either be canceled or released eventually from appearing as any type of charges on your card statements.

There is no cost for upgrades of purchased applications. Those applications should appear in your StorageLocker and on your SlideME profile, with transaction status of Completed. If the developer has published a newer version on SlideME, you can download it for no extra charge.

First, verify that you did indeed receive multiple charges. Login into the SlideME website and then go to: http://slideme.org/my-transactions. You will see a list of all your transactions on the system along with information what each transaction status means.

Keep in mind that an ‘authorization’ is not a ‘settled’ charge. Once the authorization is issued from your card issuer or bank, the content will be released for download to your device. If for any reason the transaction does not complete and the initial authorization is not ‘settled’ to a ‘Completed’ status then this authorization is due to expire.

The transaction will have the following payment status: received, delivered, completed and canceled. Completed means that you have been charged. If you have received multiple charges with Completed status (due to your multiple retries) for the same application, then go to: http://slideme.org/contact and include the transaction IDs that are duplicates and we will issue a refund.

Checklist:

  • Is SlideME’s SAM installed on my device?
  • Am I a registered user on SlideME?
  • Do I have a valid Paypal account or Amazon Payments account setup as a Billing Agreement, or do I have funds in my SlideME Wallet for Web purchases (WebBUY)?
  • Is my device compatible with the application I want to purchase?

Make sure that you have SlideME’s SAM installed on your Android device as it is required to download the application you have purchased. Downloading of purchased applications is not allowed from site directly, only free content can be downloaded from site.
