Are you wanting to integrate a different payment processor into this site or develop your own for handling the %/per event fees? (i.e. do you want to keep the same pricing setup they have or develop your own?). Essentially, how do you plan to be paid?
I guess, it's obvious that a % goes to the owner per ticket sale. Isn't it? I don't know how he wants it but could be several ways 1. Paying for Event Creation to admin And/OR X$ Prepaid for selling 10 Tickets, When he again refills again with x$ for selling 200 Tickets and it shows 200 Tickets available in his account 2. Merchant adds a base price, we add processing fee to it, say the paypal gateway fee, so 200+8$ and invoice the customer 208$, now 200$ comes to the admin's account, however about maybe 190 CREDITS (considering 5% Fee by admin/ticket like ebay) gets added to the event seller's account. The event seller can then withdraw funds to his bank account or paypal, by placing a request and the site owner makes a mass pay or similar way. These are the two ways, we usually offer our clients for such merchant-customer end sites ( developed a few ). Would definitely like to know if you or Traijk has some other concept to share.
Yes, but you're planning to utilize a 3rd party payment processor (Paypal, Google Checkout, etc) to handle the actual "transactions" correct? The "amounts" which appear on the seller/provider only correspond to what's available. For example: Mike owns the site Bob creates a page to sell tickets Jane buys a ticket from Bob Does Bob put up his paypal/google checkout account on the signup so that Jane's money goes straight to Bob OR does Mike get Jane's money, takes a percentage, then forwards the money to Bob. The rest of the site is somewhat straightforward. But your budget is easily $x,xxx either way to get this cloned properly. I'm just curious how you (or Traijk) envisions the payment process to occur. If either of you are interested though, I can develop either option depending on the budget and deadlines.
Read Point 2. It explains the same. Jane or Bob shall never disclose their personal or bank info with each other. All dealings are with the administrator (IF this is a marketplace site), if it's a catalog / classifieds site then the site lets the seller and buyer communicate and transact. *I'm not someone who's interested in developing this. I'm a Web and Smartphone app developer, just like you, and we have developed marketplaces like FlipMart(.)net in the past.
