Credits Payment Flows

Facebook offers two different payment flows for developers:

This flow enables you to use Facebook Credits as a payment platform where you can charge users directly for items in your app (including your own in-app currency).

Credits as a Currency

This flow enables you to use Facebook Credits as an in-app currency (instead of having to manage your own in-app currency) where users will see and directly access their Credits balance.
