I need a software tool/script that delivers an instant alert (preferrably through an instant popup message) whenever I receive a new PayPal payment in my account. When the alert is clicked, I want to be able to see both the newly received payment and my total PayPal balance, without manually having to go to www.paypal.com and log in to retrieve the info. Is there anyone who can create this for me? Questions / Asking price 4 creation = reply to this post, plz. Greetz!
Looking at the PayPal site it seems to suggest that the API can now be accessed from a standard account, if this is the case creating an alert to say there is a new transaction and the details of these transactions would be relatively straightforward to do. Getting the total balance of the account is not included in the API which means that screenscraping would be necessary and whilst doable this isnt something that we would want to be involved in and you have ongoing support issues if they change their layout etc. If you were happy to lose the total balance amount we can price up a .net 2.0 desktop app for you - we would need to know what level of "styling" you would want or if low price is most important so default look and feel would be fine.
