Hey Nash,

Can we have the ability to go into admin and select users in Protopay, and give them a certain specific discount? Say what we are getting on our rate? or any rate we specify?

Hi

I have been thinking this through and think on of the easiest ways to make this program accessible, and cheap to set-up and run is to use paypal against itself.

Paypal would be the payment gateway, negating the need for merchant accounts and eft processors.

A person signs-up and adds funds to their proto account via paypal (or credit card using paypal), just like topping up ysp listings credit. It costs them nothing to do this.

Within the proto site sending payments to another user can be free. Receiving money internally between proto account balances would incur a combination of % and flat fee. This would allow ths site owner to recoup the fee paid for receivng top-ups via paypal.

When a user wishes to withdraw his proto balance to his paypal account he can withdraw the balance (minus withdrawal fee/percentage set by admin) to his paypal account. As it is free to send money in paypal the site owner pays nothing and can obtain the withdrawal fee as well.

The users can basically use paypal to transfer balances in and out of proto, and then benefit from receiving payments from other users balances at a much lower rate than paypal and can then send the cash to their own paypal accounts once they have avoided the internal paypal sending fees, so its a win for them as well.

it is against pp's policy to use them as a funding source of another clearing house or a money broker -

Is a different payment processor possible in the future, i currently use Authorize.net which is half the month price of the one this program uses which i found out afterwards. I understand about the downtime with some payment processor but i think an alternative processor should be one we choose. just curious as i really want to start my site.

i only built it on LinkPoint as i am 100% familiar with it and know for sure how all works with LinkPoint - so if I'm not 100% sure of something - then i leave it aside till there is no other way around - so far LinkPoint is the best even if it is more money - after all the old saying always works with the EFT processors: you get what you pay for -

i will enjoy to have a multi choice of language (like the YSP one) where users can choose their language. In my case i can translate to 10 different language but my users i think can only see the default language i set in the PPG admin panel.

can we get a method to email a newsletter or something to our users
