Looking for advice on accepting payment on my site
Permalink
I'm developing an application that I plan on selling for "x" per month or "y" per year. I'd like to hear from others who have implemented something with C5 ...
I don't want users to be able to use my service without me first receiving payment. I was looking at paypal as a means of taking payment.
What's the best way of implementing a pay system into my registration?

you can do a subscription based thing with ecommerce...
I was looking at the eCommerce add on in the past and it looked like an add on for selling products (much like going to walmart.com or whatever).
So, you say I can use this for a subscription? I'm not selling a product (like flashlights), but rather, selling a service ...
Maybe I should look into this. I wonder if I do use the add on, if I can also have a demo account that isn't something new users have to pay for, but is limited.

I just read this on another forum post:
The biggest trick with this is handling the recurring billing. c5 does not store payment information so this needs integration with some payment service that does. PayPal has a subscription service but right now c5 does not have a Website Payments Pro module for PayPal, which I believe is required to pass subscription info to PayPal.

So, do you still think this is going to be difficult? I want to offer monthly subscriptions and will need to incorporate Paypal's recurring payment method.
