PayPal plugin - subscription expiry info - Forum - VisualNEO. Cross-platform App Development Tool for Windows

#1 · March 1, 2020, 8:06 am

Hi @luishp, I was asked if I can do a WebApp that comes with monthly subscriptions - this would be my first paid/commercial app since getting VNW 8=((. The current PayPal plugin is limited. Is there a way I can access PayPal api to retrieve expiry info, and display a message to get user to renew etc.

Hi @ronnie. Note that VisualNEO Web does not restricts you on using whatever web technology.

Regarding PayPal subscriptions you will have to study the PayPal API:

Good luck!

Was wondering if anything has changed in this regard to incorporating Paypal into an app. When it comes to incorporating API, well not so much. I would be happy to finance (after discussions) creating such a thing. If anyone is interested please contact me. If there are other payment options I would be interested in hearing about that as well.

Thanks

Just realized there is a paypal cart action. I will take a look at that.

Thanks

@donwalker, note that there is also a sample app, under MyDocuments/VisualNeoWeb/Sample Apps/Paypal folder.
Thanks!

Hi Luis,
About the paypal subscription api, is it easy (remember how newbie I am !!! :) ) to use in VisualNeo Web ?

Best regards,

Denis

I don't know. I would have to study it in order to have an opinion. Sorry.
Anyway I know a simple Pay Button is really easy to add (just copy/paste the code PayPal offers). Quite more difficult is to keep track of payments for example.

Best regards.

Hello

I check the PAYPAL plugin and I see that is working perfect. I need to know if the plugin is it possible to know if someone pay and send to app that is all is OK. I need anyone to can order a design from me to make the payment and the app send the link to download the design.

Is that possible? Thank you!!!

@sakismor the PayPal plugin is quite basic. It doesn't have the possibility to check if the payment was done correctly. It would involve some server side coding and a lot of security concerns. You will have to check it manually. Sorry!

@sakismor

You can try setting up an automatic email in response to a successful sale using the Zapier integration service.

It requires no coding skills, you just choose a trigger and a reaction to it.

Or use another automation option. For example, after a successful sale, a Google Sheets entry could take place, and your app could read Google Sheets and react to the appearance of a new line.

I haven't tried it, but I assume you can come up with different options.
