Facebook also provides a payment method, a currency of its own called Facebook Stars to make the payments or donations to live streamers.

If you run your business through the Facebook marketplace or provide any service for which you need to accept payments.

So, accepting payments through Facebook is simple, you just need to follow any of the following methods.

After owning WhatsApp, Facebook has reached to larger groups of people around the globe.

There are a high number of chances, that every people who own a smartphone and has internet connectivity uses either all or one of the Facebook products (Instagram and WhatsApp).

Like it or not, there’s no getting away from Facebook.

So, without many other discussions just begin with the methods for accepting payments on Facebook.

You can either use third-party services like PayPal and FundRazr to accept payments through Facebook, or you can use Facebook Messenger to receive payments.

Yes, That’s right, with Facebook Messenger, you can easily accept payments.

However, this feature is not yet launched for many countries, the US and UK are few in which you can use Facebook Messenger to receive payments.

So, at first, I am going to give you a method for a third-party application, as Facebook Messenger is not available for most countries.

How To Accept Payments On Facebook Using PayPal

You can add a PayPal button link on your page, to receive payments, to do this use the following methods.

Visit www.paypal.com/webaccept
Login in to your Paypal Account.

On the next page, click on the Email tab and then Select and Copy the code.
Now, log in to Facebook and open your page.
Click on Create Post and then add your text for example, ‘Best Statues’ and paste the code below it and hit on Post.

With this, you can accept payment directly into your PayPal.

Also, you can also receive money by raising find, this could be for anything like any social cause or national calamities.

Accepting Payments On Facebook With FundRazr

FundRazr is a free crowdfunding and online fundraising platform first released in 2009.

This is another method for raising money from Facebook.

Now, the last method, which you can use to accept payments on Facebook, and for this, you need not do much, as compared to former methods.

How To Accept Facebook Payment Using Facebook Messenger

Messenger is a convenient and secure way to send and receive money, and it is highly convenient too.

The Messenger payments system is simple to figure out.

In a chat with a friend or any other person(from whoever you are receiving the money), press the blue + icon, and select the payment option.

On the first payment, you will need to enter your bank information (Visa and Mastercard) and the amount to be paid or users can choose PayPal as the source when making a payment.

The money is then transferred in up to three business days.

PayPal did not say whether it plans on bringing peer-to-peer payments to other messaging platforms too, but this news, as PayPal COO Bill Ready puts it, is part of a “broader movement where we’re meeting the user in whatever context they’re in.”

To receive the payments, do the following:

Open the conversation.
Tap Add Card or PayPal.
Add your debit card and set up your account to accept money for the first time.

The maximum transfer amount is $9999, and also there is no fees to send the amount ie., sender needs not to pay any extra charge.

Facebook claims that it encrypts personal data and credit card numbers of the users, so you need not worry.

It also takes care to store your financial information separately from your account data, which means your public profile of Facebook is not stored with the payment information.

However, as with any transaction where the money is involved, you should take steps to protect yourself from fraud and other problems. So, use it with the verified users only.

You can’t cancel Messenger payments, although recipients can voluntarily reject them if you make a mistake.

Facebook does not advertise any type of consumer protection, and you are not supposed to use Messenger for business payments.

So, make sure of that always.

Conclusion:-

I hope you have found this article How To Accept Payment On Facebook, useful. So, you can use them right away without any hesitation.

How To Record Shows On Philo TV (Recent And Upcoming)

Zayn Shaikh — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Philo TV is one of the best video streaming platforms and has quite decent playback. The good thing is that you can use the same Philo account on three devices at the same time. Philo TV also has the feature for recording, by which you can simply record your favorite shows on it. To understand How To Record Shows On Philo TV simply read this full article.

Subscription of Philo is very economical, as you can use the same account on three different devices at the same time, so you can also share the subscription amount with your friends and family too.

Philo tv is compatible with devices like Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Roku, Android TV, iOS, and Other android devices, or on any web browser of your computer, you just simply need a fast and reliable internet connection.

More On Philo TV:

One more thing, if you are streaming Philo on different devices at the same time(3 devices at a time), you must be connected with different networks or should opt for fast internet speed, around 50-60 Megabit per second.

Also, you can create up to 10 profiles on it.

Otherwise, for a single screen 5 to 10Mbit/sec will do the job.

This much speed prevents interruptions while streaming.

This recording feature comes with the base price of Philo and requires no other additional fee.

Philo has native DVR ability, which helps and lets you record so many shows, to watch them later.

After recording, Philo lets you save your show for 30 days only, which I think is the drawback. But, with this price, it is a good option.

This recording feature works with devices like Firestick, Roku, Apple TV, etc. so you need not worry about How To Record Shows On Philo TV on firestick, etc.

How To Record On Philo

Philo offers 20 hours of DVR space to its subscribers, which is quite appreciable. As, when binge-watching you need not depend on the internet speed at that particular period of time.

You can simply record the season in one go, and then watch it whenever you want it(within 30 days).

But, you need to be a regular subscriber of Philo then.

This guide is a generalized one, as Philo TV works the same on all the streaming devices, there is no need to individually explain different devices. Use the following methods they will surely work.

Step-1) You first need to login to your Philo account and reach out for the GUIDE option and click on it.

Step-2) Search for the show you want to record on your Philo account and click on it.

Step-3) Now just by simply clicking on the plus(+) sign you can start the recording, and stop the recording again click on the plus(+) sign.

Just like that.

You have recorded your favorite show for later, you can do this for the multiple shows you like to watch later on.

And, if you like sports and stream sports more often on your TV, check out ESPN Plus and also how to cancel an ESPN+ subscription, if you don’t like it.

Similarly, there are more services like Fubo TV and DAZN which also provide sports content.

Philo TV lets you watch the recorded shows with your choice, you can watch recorded shows many times or in parts too, all of this and without a single ad.

Now that you have recorded the show, keep in mind that you only have 30 days to watch it, after this recorded show will be gone automatically and you have to save it again or stream it.

I think 30 days are too much to finish any individual show.

ATTENTION ALL!!!

Now there is one thing more on Philo that you will definitely like, which is, you can also record upcoming future shows on Philo too. Keep on reading for the methods.

How To Record Upcoming(Future) Shows On Philo TV

This Philo is quite smart, so you can use its recording for the upcoming future shows, it will record automatically.

Step-1) Simply login first into your Philo TV account on any of your preferred devices.

Step-2) Search for the shows, be it the upcoming new one or the upcoming reruns of any old show. In two weeks’ advance, you can see the schedule of the upcoming show.

Step-3) There will be two options Record New and Record All. Select as per your choice. With Record New, you can record every upcoming future shows on Philo, and Record All will record all upcoming reruns.

That’s it, your show is now recording mode, you will be able to see the red record sign on the show.

Now when the episodes of the show will be aired it will get automatically recorded and you can watch them in the next 30 days. As this process of automatic deletion of the recorded shows cannot be changed, so watch your shows before they get deleted permanently from the recorded videos section.

There is a backup plan for those who are forgetful and forgot to record the upcoming show in advance. Chill out, you can still watch them. Philo TV comes with the rewind option that lets you watch anything aired in the past three days.

Do rewind, pause, or fast forward of your recorded and on-demand shows whenever you want.

So, with the aforesaid steps, I hope you now understand How To Record On Philo. and now you need to know the steps to watch the recorded shows and delete them(if you want) as I already mentioned you have unlimited DVR space on Philo.

After recording, episodes of the shows will be available in the saved library. There is a Saved option right on the home page of the Philo TV. Just click on it and select your show to watch them.

The videos you have saved have the DVR tag on them, you can watch them within 30 days from the date of their recording.

You need not worry about deleting the recorded shows because Philo offers unlimited storage options to record as much as videos, and also it automatically deletes in the next 30 days. So, why even bother to delete if Philo is doing it for you from the oldest to newest.

But make sure to watch your recorded show within 30 days otherwise, you have to record it again.

Just watch your recorded shows, and record many more and finish them on time. Philo will take care of them after 30 days.

As I have already mentioned that you only get 20 hours of recording space, which is quite small if you are a heavy binger and watch so many shows.

How To Connect Roku To TV With Cable Box [Simple Steps]

Zayn Shaikh — Fri, 12 Jan 2024 18:48:52 +0000

The question is quite clear, How To Connect Roku To TV With Cable Box, which means that either you are looking for ways to switch between Cable TV and Roku or looking for an alternate way to connect Roku to your TV, which already has a Cable TV connection.

The main factors are your TV(number of HDMI ports in it) and the type of Roku device you are using.

There may be cases where your TV has only HDMI port, but the cable box you are using has component cables for the connection.

In such case you already have the HDMI port you are looking for, so no issues then.

But, if the cable box uses the single available HDMI port on a TV, then buying an HDMI component adapter is your only option, only if your TV has component (red, white, and yellow) ports.

Having this HDMI component adapter, you can use this on the TV which has no HDMI port at all as well, just by using the component ports(red, white, and yellow).

You just need to follow the steps, as per your situation, like the type of Roku device you are using(Roku stick or Roku Player), number of HDMI ports on the TV.

Most TVs have at least one HDMI port.

Once you have figured out your condition and terms, then begin with this article for the further connection.

So, let’s begin with the connection methods.

[NOTE:- If you have Roku Stick and your TV has no HDMI port at all, you will not be able to use it even after you own the HDMI component adapter, you can only use Roku Player then.]

Roku Player — A small box, comes along with several cables.
Roku Stick — Looks like a flash drive. Comes with at least one power cable.

If you have Roku Player, then plug one end of the HDMI cable on its back and the other end on the HDMI port of your TV.

If your TV has no HDMI port and you own HDMI component adapter, as mentioned earlier in the article.

Then, put the component cables in the component ports of TV(red, white, and yellow cables in respective color ports) and the other end of the adapter at the back of your Roku Player.

[NOTE:- If your CableBox uses the component cables(red, white, and Yellow) and your TV has no HDMI port then, you cannot use any streaming device on your TV.]

Now, if you own Roku Stick, then plug the HDMI connector at the back of the stick and then, plug the Roku stick on the HDMI port of your TV.

For any Roku device, keep in mind the port number in which you have plugged the Roku device.

I mean, if your TV has, more than one HDMI ports(HDMI1, HDMI2), then make sure of the port number.

After all this, now you have to connect your Roku device to a power source.

The power adapter comes along with the device you just need to connect one end to your Roku device and the other end into a nearby socket(electrical outlet).

ATTENTION ALL!!!

In the case of the Roku stick, it may have a USB power stick, and if your TV has a USB port that is not in use you can plug the USB power cable to your TVs USB port.

And, if no USB port is available, just connect the other end with any nearby socket(electrical outlet).

Power ON TV and device, then using TV remote select HDMI as the source on which the Roku is connected.

To do this, you need to press any of the available buttons for source selection(Input, Video, or Source).

Well, now the Roku’s setup screen is available on your TV screen, so you can begin setting up Roku now.

How To Setup Roku On TV

After all the earlier steps, now Roku is running on your TV. So, follow the following steps to set it up.

Use the Roku remote and select your preferred language for the Roku device.
Now, for the internet select Scan again to see all networks from remote and select your Wi-Fi from it. In the case of the Roku player, you can directly attach an Ethernet cable(LAN cable) to the layer also.
Update to the latest version, if asked for better performance.
Now, you need to set up the screen resolution, which you can also do any time by going to Settings>Display Type.
If you have a Roku player, it will automatically select the best resolution as per your TV.
But in the case of Roku sticks you have to select Set Display Type or Auto Detect Display Type.
In the next step, you can select your Roku remote to control your TV if you like.
Just select Check Remote Settings, when asked and follow all the steps, or skip directly to the next step.
Now, wait for the activation code to appear, once it is available on-screen, from your PC or smartphone visit:- Roku Activation Link.
Enter the code flashing on the screen of your TV there and hit Submit.

That is all.

If you already have a Roku account, log in, or just create a new by following the on-screen steps. Once done, you will be able to enjoy Roku right away.

How To Play Apple Music On Roku [Step-By-Step Guide]

Zayn Shaikh — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 13:02:22 +0000

Roku is a third-party streaming device, on which you can stream from over 45000+ streaming channels. These channels comprise video streaming like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, etc, an audio streaming option from Spotify, Pandora, etc, and even photos too. So, to know How To Play Apple Music On Roku, read the full article.

However, Apple Music or iTunes is not officially available for Roku.

But, still there are ways to play and enjoy apple music on Roku.

To make this happen you need to use a third-party application called Apple Music Converter either from your Windows device or Mac.

This is important as on Roku you can play music of some selected formats only.

This Converter will help you convert the Music into the required format, and then you can play it on Roku.

You must be thinking about using this converter application, as is Apple Music Converter legal?

So, the answer is YES, it is legal. Make sure you use some popular ones, as most of the converters are not trying to break DRM(Digital Rights Management) protection.

Media File Formats Roku Supports

Songs in Apple Music in Apple Fairplay protected, which is not supported by Roku. It is not as simple as streaming an MP3 file on Roku, and you cannot use the ‘Play On Roku’ app on your iPhone to stream Apple Music on Roku.

ATTENTION ALL!!!

So, you must convert it in the supported formats first, which are:-

MUSIC- AAC, MP3, WMA, FLAC(firmware 5.3+), WAV(firmware 5.3+)
VIDEO- MKV(H.264), MP4(H.264), MOV(H.264), WMV(VC-1, firmware 3.1 only)
IMAGE- JPG, PNG, GIF(non-animated)

So, apart from these formats, you can not use any other formats. Make sure you convert your music files to these formats only when using Apple Music Converter.

As now you are familiar with the supported formats of Roku, you need to download the Apple Music Converter first to do it.

There will be two options, one is the free version and the paid one, decide for yourself and download one.

DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS

DOWNLOAD FOR MAC

The main advantage of using this application, as it does not changes the audio quality of the music and keeps the ID3 tags after the conversion.

After you download this converter application, install and run it on your device.

Also, make sure that you have downloaded the Apple Music files you want to convert and that they are working fine on iTunes.

Now, follow the steps given below to convert Apple Music to Roku audio formats:-

Run the converter application and then click the “+” sign to add Apple Music tracks or audio files from iTunes which you want to convert.
Tap on the mechanical gear icon(Settings), and select MP3(or any other Roku supported formats) as output format. You can also change the converting speed and output quality too from there.
Now, click on Convert to start conversion, once done you can find the new files in the Converted tab.
