tvasconcelos Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi guys, i'm in a dead end with this. I'm more a design guy and i'm trying to implement these 2 payment gateways on a website i'm launching soon but don't know how to do it. I have the php sample files from bitpay and the other payment gateway (offline atm payments). I can implement a button for the payment but the php needed to receive payment notification, ipn or callback, and update user balance in the database it's way out of my knowlegde. Can someone give me a hand in implementing this? I have paypal runing but i'd like to have these other two options. Thanks in advance, Tiago Vasconcelos Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/290984-need-help-with-php-payment-gateways/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Are you looking to hire / pay someone?

tvasconcelos Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm sorry, the topic does say HELP, not hire!! It seems that it's impossible to have someone just give a look and HELP out. In every forum i'll go i get the same response, without even looking at what it is to do. I may not know PHP and MySQL, but i do understand what it is that's needed and what needs to happen. I'm talking about a few lines of code, a couple DB queries and that would be it. In my line of work, if someone with a finished drawing needed some help with colouring a few lines and add a few more ones to complete the job, i'd HELP without even thinking about if it was to be payed, i wouldn't even know what to charge to that person... I guess i'll just have to learn it myself, like i did for the rest of the website!! Anyway, thanks a lot for showing me that it's not just in my country that things run like that. It's everywhere!!

mac_gyver Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 i think you misunderstand what programming help is, especially if you have received the same response on other programming help forums. we are here to help programmers with their code, hopefully code that they have written, or if they have found it or been given it, that they know enough about the programming language it is using so that they understand what it is doing and can even make an attempt at solving their programming problems or would understand any code given in a reply. a programming help forum should not be your first line of help, it is the last, after you have exhausted all the means available to you. if you have no programming means available to you and you are turning to programming help forums as your first line of help, without having or posting the result of your coding attempt, along with any relevant errors or symptoms, you don't have anything that we can help you with. you are instead asking someone to do it for you, which when it comes to the task of even looking into what is needed to integrate a payment gateway with your existing site, is more than what you should expect to get for free. so yes, someone taking the time to find out what your site database and coding structure is, what the payment gateways return as data, and integrating the gateway into your site, would help you, but that's not what programming help is. programming help means you are doing 99% of the work and we are just providing direction. in order to provide you with any direction, you must be at the point of asking specific questions or have specific errors or symptoms that you need help with. short-answer: you want something, you don't have the knowledge, skills, or experience to do the work yourself. that is the test for when you should hire someone to do the work for you, especially if the task involves actual money and products. re: your drawing example. i recall some lady making an attempt at touching up an expensive painting within the past year, and it came out looking like a kindergartner did it with finger paints. the work required someone with the correct knowledge and experience, not just someone with a brush and some paint. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/290984-need-help-with-php-payment-gateways/#findComment-1490752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm sorry, the topic does say HELP, not hire!! Sorry about that; I didn't mean any offense. I was just having a difficult time deciding on whether this topic should be moved to the Job Offerings forum. If you're still looking for help, perhaps someone here can answer your questions. We just don't have much to go on right now. Perhaps the following article will help you get the answers you're looking for from us: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Please don't take offense to the article title. I'm just suggesting it based on PHPFreak's Rules and ToS page: Users should not "bump" topics that are still on the first page of the forums. If you bump, you must provide additional information. If you resort to bumping, chances are your question needs to be re-thought and re-described (see Eric Raymond's "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way").
