Paymentwall is hoping to fuel the growth of smart TVs by making it easier for people to buy things using them.

A global payment platform, San Francisco-based Paymentwall has assembled the software necessary to monetize digital goods and services. Today, it is unveiling PW Smart TV, a payment solution that developers can plug into their applications that run on smart TVs. Those applications can include games, movies, and other content on smart TVs, which are connected to the Internet. Market research firm NPD predicts that by next year, there will be more than 200 million Internet-enabled TVs in the U.S.
