AlertPay Developers Community

The ablity to provide a alert url via form. Since theres a security code posted to the alert url. Nice when you have one or more websites using the same alertpay account or testing out a beta version of a website

 Guess thats a no lol ?

Hello,

Unfortunately, we presently do not have any plans on modifying our current AlertURL setup. If you have more than one website associated with an AlertPay account, you are still able to modify or add another AlertURL by simply logging into your AlertPay account and make those changes.

If you feel that sending your AlertURL via a form will be beneficial to everyone, please provide us with more information or suggestions on this matter as our developers are always open to new ideas.

Hello,

Ferhan told me about this thread, and i'd wish to thank you guys for taking an interest in this.

I'm working in building a sort of pyramid scheme system. Users register to my client's system and pay a fee for the registration. In the case the user(let's call him Jimmy) was invited to the site by another user, this latter user (the parent - i'll call him Jim) will receive a commission of the registration fee. Commissions are generated together with the IPN script (so they are calculated on the AlertURL page) and saved in the system's commission database. So far so good. The problem becomes clear when the site administrator tries to pay commissions. Basically in this case, from AP's point of view, the admin is the client and the parent - Jim is the merchant, so the AlertURL for this payment is the one defined in the Jim's AP account. So i cannot use IPN in order to update the status of the commission, cause the IPN won't ever return to the system the payment data.

Apparently this is a minor inconvenient, but in general, any payments generated on a site for a given number of users/entities won't be able to use IPN.

Imho your system is great when it comes to receiving payments, simple, effective, easy to understand, but when it comes to issuing payments, it cannot be used at all. And in this case the complicated socket notification of the paypal comes in really handy.

If we can insert the alert url directly inside the form, it's will help full for all of us, especially if we running referral or membership program where require member to pay another members directly (i'am taalking in the secure way).

Current alertpay url setup is annoying for most people, especially if they need to setup alertpay url in case they need to receive the money (using ipn).

If the alert url can embeded directly in the form, only site owner will need do the task, and not his all members.

There are several other reasons why this needed, but since my english is limited i can't tell more.

If you remember how e-gold handle the return url, perhaps it's will helpful, people do not need create hassle task to create the return or status url on their account everytime they create a new program or joining new program or site

hope it's helpful.

thank you,
