I need help

[shaneen]

I am trying to put some sort of payment option on to a website and I am hearing mixed feelings regarding paypal. Does anyone use this or other services for website member payments and if so how much would you charge me to come over and install it on to my site?
Thanks

Anything like is going to require back on processing on your host, so start by talking to your webmaster.

I have never seen paypal used to give immediate access to a site upon payment. Normally you just have a link to paypal and instructions as to what your account is, and how much the required payment is.

You would manually activate the customer account once you have received payment.

Having said that, just about anything can be done. If someone can make this happen, I would be very interested in talking to them.

If you are trying to establish a password protected 'members area' be careful. Some people take great delight in hacking sites and sharing passwords on the internet.

Good luck!

I have set up Paypal without any problems for some sites. The good thing about it is that you don't get charged unless you use the system, (this might not last forever of course). But some commerce providers try to stick you with a monthly fee even though you have no transactons, and that isn't cool for the little guys out there just getting started. So paypal does okay.

I'll take a look at your site and email you to see if we can get something set up for you.

Take care,

Strong
