Hi, For the past year I have been using Selz, to process payments but they are unreliable (there mails can take 6 hours to get to me, and the reply's to the customer can also take 6 hours!)
So I'm just going to use Paypal, Now I'm not advance programmer, more a dabbler! so IPN, webhooks and anything else all goes straight over my head! I can modify PHP! and add records to SQL but still its more hit and miss than a science!
The system I was using was based on the Simple Mail Server app, It checked for emails from Selz, then replied with a code! the problem with this method - was that the code was the same for everyone.
As well as the now ever increasing delay they have. Plus the code was changed manually at midnight! so that was not
So I'm looking to advance the system, and want it to work directly with Paypal emails, (that bit is done) I would ideally like it if the customer clicked a button on the web page, paid the fee, and then the email server took the email address and stuck it in an online database along with a time stamp, then they run the app, enter the email address, the app looks in the database, and then adds the current devices mac address and adds it to the record so the record now has email address, mac address, and time stamp!
then after 24 hours the record is deleted, or flagged as expired, and the process can be done again for another payment! or depending on the app the payment could activate it for ever!
Looking at it, in the app, I can use the SQL lib from @DonManfred and store the login credentials using images and the Fsteg lib from @Informatix thats the theory.
My Server app, maybe the SQL lib would work? if not I would possibly be able to make some PHP, I could also look at the timestamps and email past customers with offers, and update info!
Does this sound possible or is there an easier alternative?
Would anyone like to help / collaborate?
I think it would be nice if we made something like this for everyone to use!
Thanks
Aidy
