Has anyone written a script for a Xelagot that would work with PayPal?

I have a UniServer, and I was wondering if it is possible to do three
things:

1) Create a link on a web page for a Register Now button, and when it's
clicked, the user can make a payment with PayPal, and upon successful
payment a "bot" would then use the username and password generated by PayPal
to create (and enable) a new user account (using that user name and
password). For example if a 1 year subscription was made, the bot would
create and enable a new user account with an expiration date of 1 year with
that user name and password generated by PayPal.

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/xcl/rec/subscription-pass-manual

The new user would then use the login & password (that was E-mailed by
PayPal) to login (as a citizen), and then they could change the screen name
(and password) to whatever they like using the "Options -> citizen" menu in
the browser.


2) Create a webpage with a PayPal 1 month "renewal button" and use an
"option field" for the Citizen number, so that when clicked, and Payment was
received by PayPal then the bot would extend a citizen's expiration date
(for a particular citizen number) by one month.

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-sub-factory

If a six month renewal was paid, then it would extend the citizen's
expiration date by 6 months. If a 1 year renewal was paid, then it would
extend the citizen's expiration date by one year.

Upon receiving payment, the bot would update the citizen's account, and
extend it accordingly (based upon the length of the subscription).


3) Create a script so that when you click on the "register" button on the AW
Browser it would accept a PayPal payment, and then upon accepting payment, a
bot would create and enable a new user account?


How would I go about doing something like this? Is it possible?

I doubt this is possible with Xelagot, as I don't think it's got any
HTTP/socket interface.

This option is not possible. You wouldn't like it if all your registration
info (including CC#) was broadcasted to bots, would you?

Ditch all this bot stuff, just use the built-in system. If your universe is
legal, that is...

Yes, my universe is legal, but what do you mean use the "built in system"?
There is no "built in system". The "built in system" doesn't point towards
anything. If you click on the register button, it just gives you a free
membership. I heard you can write an API for skipjack, or some other
merchant software. I was asking if it were possible to write one for PayPal
instead. So what would I use, the SDK? Is it even possible to do this? If
so, how would I go about doing it?
