How Does MicroPayments plugin Integrate With WordPress User Submitted Posts?

After installing MicroPayments plugin, every registered user is given his/her own wallet. Then, after the quick setup of the external Payment Gateway and the currency, users can buy the virtual currency on your site and use it as if it was a prepaid credit card. They will use points from this digital wallet to pay for posting.

Front-End

When publishing an article, they will be informed about the price with a message that also includes a link to their wallet.
