PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: DO NOT CONTACT ME OR BID IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH MONEYBOOKERS. MAKE SURE YOU VISIT MY SITE FIRST AND UNDERSTAND THE JOB. I AM SICK OF PEOPLE WASTING MY TIME.
I own and run http://www.gofarmer.com. AT THE MOMENT it uses moneybookers integrated gateway system to accept recurring payments by credit card. It is a membership based site where people pay £5 to register as a seller and then get automatic access to the members area and can place adverts. A subscription is set up so the next year it is £45 to continue membership. If the subscription is cancelled the person's adverts are removed and they are downgraded to a free member.
Initially I used worldpay as my credit card processor and had this integrated into my site. But it got expensive so moved to moneybookers as was free and seemed a good system.
NOW moneybookers have changed to SKRILL and are charging 19.99 a month.
I have looked for other options but there seems little in the way of credit card processing offering what I want for under $30/mth.
Therefore I have decided to do the following so I will not have to pay the 19.99 a month:
Stay with moneybookers but remove the gateway system so not charged the monthly fee. The Gofarmer system would need to be changed so that from now on it works like this:
someone goes to the site and decides to join
they set up a subscription through moneybookers
then taken to my register page via a secure system so it cannot be bypassed (i.e. someone cannot just find out register page and sign up not having paid)
Person is then entered into the system and can login to my members area
I would need to get an email from both moneybookers (sent automatically usually) AND my site to check the person has paid and has been entered into the system correctly. This should already happen but needs checking.
I will change the pricing so that it is £24.99 a year and there is no special first year offer of £5. It would be £24.99 each and every year they remained a member. If they did not renew I would need to know (via email from moneybookers system - again think should be automatic) so they could be removed from the database but I could do this manually.
POINTS TO NOTE AND ADDRESS:
- must not be able to bypass the payment system
- if subscription cancelled must get email so I can remove them from the system
Paypal NOT an option as too expensive and makes moving to a new system pointless.
Needs doing in next few days.
No bids over $50 as this is quite a simple job for someone with a decent level of programming and php. Moneybookers works pretty much the same as paypal for integration.
Can you let me know a price for doing the above with moneybookers and how you would ensure people cannot bypass the payment system and all runs smoothly.
