The test of a subscription payment model for applications with developers Zynga, Kixeye, and Playdom that Facebook launched in June is over, and the social network has extended the capability to all developers.

Facebook said in a post on its developer blog that subscription billing will allow developers to establish recurring revenue streams for their apps, as well as offer users updated content and premium features.

Developers can set prices based on local currency and offer different subscriptions levels, as well as offer free trials and determine how long those free trials will last.

On the user side, payment can be made via credit card or PayPal, and subscriptions can be canceled via Facebook’s payments settings, although the social network recommends that developers include an option to do so within their apps.
