PayPal IPN and subscriptions (Sdk)
PayPal IPN and subscriptions // SdkslipawayApr 3, 2003, 3:36pm
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? Mark kahApr 5, 2003, 8:11am

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... KAH slipawayApr 8, 2003, 1:15pm
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? Mark [View Quote] johnApr 8, 2003, 4:02pm
