Each user can view the transactions made on their account via their account statement. There are various types of entries in a user's accounts, primarily:

  • Credits, which are usually created by the user with a credit card or other form of payment.

  • Purchases, which debit the user's account. Accounts support three different currencies which can be configured differently on each site. The currencies are as follows:

    1. The Public currency; this is the currency used to quote pricing on the web site. This is usually dollars, given the high proportion of US surfers on the Net. It has been noted that prices quoted in dollars will increase the chance of a sale compared to other currencies.

    2. The Bank currency; this currency is the one which is actually used to bank income. For example, for a UK site, this would be in Pounds, even if the public currency is in dollars.

    3. The Internal currency; This is used for purchasing products within the site. A third currency exists to allow the creation of new currencies - for example "Credits". This mechanism allows a sliding scale of exchange rates; so that $5 may buy 5 credits, whereas $10 may buy 12 credits.
