Title: automate purchases via paypal
Post by: drake90001 on October 07, 2012, 05:12:06 PM

How do I automate purchases via paypal? For example, the player goes to a "donate" section, pays via paypal, and then they auto get the admin in the game. Something like that.

Thanks.

We did this via SMF on the forums a while back. I'd recommend using some type of CMS system that you can sync your in-game users with.

Could you recommend a certain program? I'm a tad bit "nooby" and this kind of stuff. The post programming I've done is starting "Intro to Java" at school this year.

Here's the code we used to do it from SMF: http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3241.msg9622.html#msg9622

This will require modification because SMF 2 is a bit different from how SMF 1 worked and because I think there may be a few changes to the ULib API.

Thanks - But I decided I'd hire some one to do it for us. Lol. I just don't understand it, it's so complicated with the IPN.
