How do you manage your directory payments

Lets assume that you have two irectories. How do you manage your payments? Do you use same paypal account for each of the directories? Any customization you used?

 

Right now YES. When all things settle up after GOOGS updates then we'll have a more better one.

 

Use the same business account for all my directories - have customized it to list the directory name along with each payment - makes it easy to sort out which directory recieved the payment.

 

I did not understand. So you will use more than one paypal account after you get more pagerank?

In fact, i am not sure whether having more than one account is acceptable by Paypal TOS or not. May be the right question is that.

 

So did you modify tpl files or core of phpld?

 

You can have more than 1 email address for a paypal account. So, you can simply use a different email address for each directory and the same paypal account.

 

any alternatives to paypal for accepting payments for your directories?

 

Thats it, real easy

 

2checkout works well.

 

i've checked 2CO but its against their TOS to sell pixels if ever i wanted to..

 

Then don't sell pixels KABAYAN. Think of something else.

 

I have different paypal email address for each directory, for example , you can have 8 different email address to receive payments from the same paypal account.

 

If having different emails is a problem you can have different submission fee for different directories like xx.99 and xx.95.

 

i just use one account and keep track with the link listing #

 

Yes, when you have multiple directories and receive payments in one paypal it becomes difficult to sort out which directory received the payment. So inorder to make things simpler. Open your directory template paypal.tpl file and spt out this location -

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Link to {$URL|trim}" />

There change value="Link to {$URL|trim}" to value = "Your directory name"

Now whenever a payment is made on that directory, your paypal email will have the directory name. This makes your life easy

 

Thanks for the answers. There are really valuable answers and reputations sent


But i am especially interested with this one since my sturcture and payment options fit best to this one.

dannet: I assume payment notifications are sent to thsoe 8 different emails instead of the main email address (I guess there is such a main email address). Where do you add multiple emails to your account. If you remember the place, can you write it?

 

Yes, you can use any email program like outlook to create 8 different folders, and every email will be placed in the specific folder of the account. You can add more logged in with the link:https://www.paypal.com/row/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-email-submit&add.x=1

and see the emails of your account here: https://www.paypal.com/row/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-email

Good luck
