Alexhoward Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi Guys, I'm stuck...again and was wondering if anyone could help me? I basically want to set up some kind of payment method. i could just use paypal, but does anyone know how to put a secure direct payment system on their website...? also, i'd like people to pay before being able to post onto my site, but am unsure of how this will work Thanks in advance!

Zhadus Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 If you don't want to use paypal you should search around for the software. In most cases it's not going to be worth it to you to code it yourself and for something secure, you're going to be looking at something professional built. As far as only allowing people to post once they have paid, set up "privileges" and link to their account. Once they pay, upgrade their privileges and restrict access to posting to those with specific privileges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomatt Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Let someone else deal with your customers financial information. Google Checkout or Paypal are your best bets IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexhoward Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 excellent, thanks for the replies. my only concerns with paypal is the commission they charge, but guess i can live with that... as far as privilages, i want it to be pay per post. so if i set it up it up pay once and you can post, it would mean that they coud then post as much as they like... what would be the easiest way to do this? thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadus Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 A counter of sorts. They pay X amount, they get a post. Add more to counter as they purchase more and subtract 1 for each post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
