I currently sell a small software program and we use Paypal to handle receiving payment via Credit Cards. Its fees are really high and some of their policies are a little overreaching. What alternatives are there that still have a robust API? For example, when we make a sale we have Paypal notify our server when the payment clears so ...
We are gearing up for a release of a web application that offers both a limited free plan as well as a collection of more feature filled paid plans. It seems that a common question we are getting from people such as investors is "Why on Earth do you have a free plan?" To me it seems evident that the success of many popular web applicat...
Are there any free eCommerce processing services (similar to Paypal or Google Checkout) just for non-profit organizations? I'm looking into setting up paid registrations for a summer-camp that is a non-profit organization. ...
I have heard that .NET is not free and that I have to pay Microsoft if I develop a .NET application. Is this true? If so: What do I have to pay? I'm a subscriber to the MSDN via the Academic Alliance (we download a variety of Microsoft Software products for free, like VS2008 and Windows Server 2008). Do I have to pay for the software...
While this doesn't apply to my present situation, I'm sure we've all been there before. You're a Java developer who's been asked to develop an app in C#, or you're a ASP.NET developer asked to do something in ASP.NET MVC, or a PHP developer with the opportunity to do a Rails or Django site. Fundamentally, if you're a competent programm...
I'm looking for a way to automate a transfer from one bank account to another, without the end user having to login to something like paypal or amazon payments to complete the process (by transferring their on-line balance to their bank account). I've looked around online a bit, and found some vendors that seem to be able to do that, but...
Via a website, my local school Parent Teacher Association would like to enable parents to sign-up for various activities and pay for these activities via credit card. In my initial research, there seems to be a pretty high fee (~2%) per transaction. Since the PTA is a non-profit, are there any low cost option or solutions that provide ...
Here's my situation with rough numbers. I'd like to know if my thinking (at the bottom) seems sound to you guys. (Side note: I've read many of the related questions on here, and helpful as they were, none seemed to touch on this specific issue.) For 2 years I was a senior developer at Company X. I was full-time, W-2, and making $100k/yr...
Three weeks ago, I completed a project for a guy. My former CEO gave him a good reference. The whole time I was doing work for this guy, I gave him updates he could see, and told him he needed to make sure to tell me if there were any changes he needed. At the end, he told me it looked awesome, exactly what he wanted, and he would send...
I have a cc form in the site. After the customer fills the form and in the background(using curl or fsock etc.. or through API calls) the cc details can be validated with Paypal? any API's exists? This is something like authorize.net payment integration Thanks ...
I'm working on a payment services platform that will allow calling clients to perform common operations on credit cards, e.g. authorizations, payments, voids, etc. I've been looking aroung for ways to model this particular domain but I could not find anything. I would be particularly interested in any analysis-like patterns for modeling...
I know the title isn't amazingly descriptive, sorry. Basically I'm in the midst of creating a website where users can search for and buy website layouts, wordpress/joomla themes etc. Now users will be able to credit their account from paypal and use this 'site credit' to buy themes etc. Now this can be done with IPN, but for people sell...
Hi, on my website I sell unique items. I have programmed it so that on the selling page, users can select any amount of these items, and it calculates the cost. The key is that I only have 1 of each of these items. So I need the shopping cart system to not allow the payment to go through unless it is available. I've been searching for a...
Hi guys, So I'm working on an app in Django, however this is my first time venturing into advance integration for a webapp with payment systems (I used to work with paypal/2checkout so it was pretty no-skill-required). My partners have chosen PaymentExpress, and there are several sets of API (all of which are pretty new to me) and they...
I have a customer who wants me to develop him a website which is related to health. The website will provide only the information about health only. The main structure of the site will be similar to MSDN library which user can search the menu on the left side and break into subcategory which can be update in the database, and at the righ...
I'm building an application that eventually needs to process cc #s. I'd like to handle it completely in my app, and then hand off the information securely to my payment gateway. Ideally the user would have no interaction with the payment gateway directly. Any thoughts? Is there an easier way? ...
Hi all, I am scoping out what we need from a user management solution and wondering if anyone knows of a good provider of a service that would be able to : securely manage user registration and logins to our site receive payments and handle billing, reminders for recurring payments etc handle forgotten passwords, handle support ticket...
I have looked through this problem, and the Express Checkout API seems to only allow a single seller (correct me if I'm wrong), while they too have the MassPay API, but the chargeback is on the buyer, not the seller, which wouldn't be fair. Any ideas how I can implement this? A 3rd party cart, uploading its contents from various sellers...
I've done quite a bit of searching but have yet to find anything like this: http://www.nsoftware.com/ibiz/epayment/ Does anyone use anything similar to the one above? I'd just like a "universal" payment processing system with support for the major gateways. ...
Since App Engine is so locked down I assume there is no way to setup an SSL certificate to allow credit card payments. In the absence of this, how is it possible to secure handle payments in an App Engine app? ...
