Pogo Redesigns Gem Purchase Pages

Lura — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 23:19:26 +0000

Pogo has redesigned their Gem purchase pages! Along with general flow and design changes, Pogo has added the Wallie Card as a payment option for Gems.

The Wallie Card at its simplest is a prepaid card for making purchases on the internet. Most notably, it’s an anonymous and safe way to make micropayments online. A ton of game sites are already using it, they’ve got retailers in 76 countries, and here in the U.S. you can get them at convenience stores and gas stations.

More information on Wallie Cards is available at the Wallie Card web site.

You can still purchase Gems with credit card/debit card and PayPal as well. Feel free to discuss the new pages and changes below.

Shop Tab Added to Pogo

Lura — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 11:35:12 +0000

Pogo has added a new “SHOP” tab to their homepage. The tab is now located at the top of both the regular members’ pages and the Club Pogo members’ pages. When clicked, this tab expands to quick links to all of the purchasable items on Pogo: download games, badges, mini items, gifts, and Clue episodes.

Most importantly, this change moves the Mini Mall tab from the header’s navigation bar to under the Shop tab. The Downloads tab remains on the header but is also now also under the new Shop tab. The old Home tab has been replaced with a little house icon at the left side of the navigation bar.

Thanks to Cindy and beth, who wrote in at the crack of dawn to alert us to this new change!
