I've got a client that wants to extend his Umbraco 4.5.2 site which runs on a MySQL server, so that the users are able to set up monthly micro payment subscriptions to be able to access some of the content.
I have looked at some of the ecommerce packages which looks great, but they don't support MySQL, which I guess is understandable.
So, does anyone have any suggestion on how to be able to do this without building my own webshop from scratch? ;-) Ideally, the site should be migrated to a MSSQL server, but seeing that there's no direct way of migrating from MySQL to MSSQL, this would be time consuming aswell since I would have to create the site as a package and the site has over 1k media items.
Alright, so after a deeper research I found that an ecommerce solution for this seems a bit overkill. I think that going with PayPals subscription + IPN would be the way to go for this.
Will get back to this post with the final solution for future reference, if the project is going through.
Micro payment on a MySQL driven site
Hi all,
I've got a client that wants to extend his Umbraco 4.5.2 site which runs on a MySQL server, so that the users are able to set up monthly micro payment subscriptions to be able to access some of the content.
I have looked at some of the ecommerce packages which looks great, but they don't support MySQL, which I guess is understandable.
So, does anyone have any suggestion on how to be able to do this without building my own webshop from scratch? ;-) Ideally, the site should be migrated to a MSSQL server, but seeing that there's no direct way of migrating from MySQL to MSSQL, this would be time consuming aswell since I would have to create the site as a package and the site has over 1k media items.
Any help/hint is greatly appreciated! :-)
All the best,
Bo
