WP7 in app payment options - windows-phone-7

We are building a WP7 mobile game that will allow players to purchase game specific items.
Is there any other WP7 in app payment options other then PayPal? If so, are any of them better?
Thank you.

I was flicking through old slides from WUPG today in AdDuplex's slides and they suggested Linxter and MoVend. Never tried either of them so dont make any claims about them working on WP7 or being easy.

Develop custom Android Power Menu widgets

Is it possible to develop Android 11 widgets that appear on the Power Menu, exactly like Google Pay's card list?
So far I have discovered that there are a few useful guides on Device Controls, a feature that is very well suited for domotics and automation. For example the official article on Device Controls shows a fully fledged Power Menu with credit card swiping and domotics control.
I am interesting in developing a custom open source widget to browse fildelity (barcoded) cards. I have seen that the Quick Access Wallet feature is the one to use to display payment methods as swipable cards, but I have good reasons not to follow that road. First, it is designed for payment applications who hold NFC permissions, and secondarily it will disable Google Pay as default payment application for those who use it (and those who use another payment service will experience the same problem).
And Device Controls are templated and suited to be displayed in the Google Home's designated area.
So I'd like to ask if there are Android APIs to implement a fully customized widget to appear in the power menu. Of course I can kindly ask user for any permission necessary.
I start from the assumption that Google Pay itself is an application developed on top of Android framework, and has little to no special permission/policy-exception/whitelist from the OS, along with other payment applications.

Not in Android 11, at least in terms of public APIs.

That is a very generous assumption. IMHO, do not assume that you can do anything that is being done by Google or the manufacturer of the device you are trying.

How can I pin a Sharepoint's WebPart app?

I have developed a Sharepoint's WebPart. This app works fine and now I need something similar to integrate with Teams.
I have been researching about the best way to develop the app for Teams. As far as I know, there are two ways of doing this:
1. I can develop a new app only for Teams
2. I can "reuse" the Sharepoint's Webpart.
According to the second one option, I have made some little changes and now the app based in the WebPart is working in Teams.
My doubt is the next one. The application is a "Tab" associated to a channel and the client wants that the app icon appears in the menu of the left side.
When I try to add the icon in: https://admin.teams.microsoft.com/policies/app-setup, this new application based on the WebPart, never appears and I don't know the way to add the icon in the menu.
Could somebody help me?
Kind regards
You can pin only Personal Apps to the left rail. Please add your SharePoint page as personal (static) tab in your App and then pin it.

Making a responsive mobile app UI could actually be a challenge somehow. These two links however, might be helpful:

How do you get your WP7 app to show up in the Games Hub?

I've made a simple game for WP7 but apparently simply using the XNA template isn't enough to get your game to show up in the games hub. What code do I need to make that happen?
Also, can I get games made in silverlight to show up in the Games Hub as well? If so, how do I do that?
Thanks!
You need to edit the WMAppManifest.xml file (in Properties [C#] or My Project [VB.NET]) to set Genre="apps.normal" (in the <App> element) to Genre="apps.games". This will work for both XNA and Silverlight apps. See Application Manifest File for Windows Phone for more details.
Give it a try and side-load it to your phone for testing - it's pretty cool to see it show up in the Games Hub.
