Paid subscription....
So I'm going to incorporate a system in which a user can somehow pay me in exchange for days of subscription to the site I am creating. The question I have for you all is how the hell do I do this. I'm certainly not going to process credit cards myself (I'm scared) so I need a third party app to do the work for me and I need to be able to incorporate it into my site very easily and painlessly. Thanks all.
Well heres what I'm thinking - I want to keep it all on my site, so I'd need to use the paypal SDK, but the problem is that I would want to be able to accept credit cards even if they dont have a paypal account, or checks, etc. So I really am at a standstill on what to do. I've searched, i either see "stay away" or "paypal" I need it to be instantaneous too, just a plug in the cc info, and bam, the days are added to the subscription instantly. How have people completed this?

A user does not require a paypal account to send a payment to your paypal account.I'd need to use the paypal SDK, but the problem is that I would want to be able to accept credit cards even if they dont have a paypal account
As far as your subscription goes, paypal's tools does offer seemingly automatic intergration for what you need. I personally have not actually tested it before but have read enough doc's on its features to know what its about. All you would need to do is have a script inteprete whatever paypals sends your way once a user subscribes. I'll try and dig up some docs for you, but its been awhile since I've seen them.
On the otherhand, I personally will never use paypal again in my life.
They locked my account and stole my money. Thats another story.
