our customers' experience of BBC Store."

CashBox solution enables audiences to buy BBC content quickly and easily using cash
available in their e-wallet, or via other means, such as PayPal or store-bought gift
cards."



Vindicia's CashBox is a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution ideal for companies
wanting to develop their direct to consumer business. Through subscription billing and
micro-transactions, companies can take advantage of digital payment practices. The
