Hi again,

I didn't use any automated setup for this new site i'm working on
i.e gs-direct.net

This is how i've worked around the whole setup of hosting plans.
Actually while i'm typing this, i am thinking of that new addon click be
But anyways.. for now here's what i did..

I set up a pricing page - http://gs-direct.net/overview2.html
When the user decides to order, they click "order now"
When they click order now, they are taken to a form that
they should fill in and submit http://gs-direct.net/info/1/form.html

When they submit this form they are taken to that subscription

Could somebody have a look over this setup and tell me if it's set
up properly and most importantly, if it is the most secure way to use paypal.

Basically what i did was create a subscription button..
That gives you two options one of which is a link to send in emails.
Which is what i have used.. this is what i did:

The flash form when submitted, redirects the customer to any link you enter
So i created the paypal subscription button and used that email link code
as the redirect url when they submit from the order form.

Have i made the right choice?
The first order button works so test that please.
Also, that flash form submits even if you don't fill out the form.

Just let us know what you think and take a look at the paypal link
The link looks different than your normal subscription to paypal

Should i change anything etc

That's basically how mine works. In my case though, it dumps a bunch of user information into a database and creates an account with a client center I'm building. Then, it shows them a link to paypal that allows them to actually submit the subscription payment.

But yes, much like the way I'm planning on doing it.

Cool man, no worries with that paypal linkage then?
It just looks a bit off putting lookin different than your normal paypal link.
I'm sendin one via email at the moment to a client that i lost and came back.
Hey that must f been you testing the order form

I just clicked the submit button to see what would happen. Mine checks for specific fields being empty, and I wasn't sure if you were doing the same. Yours goes directly to the subscription paypal page, while mine goes to a page with a message about how they are just one step away from completing their order. They click the button below and submit payment, but are also told that their account will be setup in a few hours.

Yea if i had f done it your way, i think i woulkd have been using a normal
paypal button, but i used the email link cose as you seen it because basicaly i
couldnt think of any other way to get that paypal link into my redirect from
that form..
order now ;onk/order form/ one step away/ pay button-page

I dunno, should i add that extra page one step away?

Heh, mine was a pain to build. I'm considering doing the ending a different way after seeing yours. Probably just having it throw you to the paypal page, and email the person the details that page would have show (the maximum of 12 hours till setup...only reason it's 12 is because I may be at work or asleep or something).

With mine (That I kind of built), you chose the package you wanted, it got your info, then gave you a page with the link for your plan. For that, I just went onto paypal and created a link (the email version one), for each plan. When it displays the link, it also emails me and the customer.

In the future, maybe I will actually make the one I want

Mine is still a pain in the butt.. only do a bit here n there
but it's at the stage where a local customer's yearly subscription is comming
And i don't want to accept cash this year lol
As they say; what you haven't in your hand you can't hold
And that subscription alone, left in paypal would cover me nicely for a few months online payments of my own
So i'm gonna have this site ready when the time comes.
You could tell them in that form how long it might take to set up, i think im gonna.

Yea Dew i recon i'll have to create 7x3 order forms for the large plans page
And a few for the small plans page jesus

That click be addon, i dunno is that something you wanna be recommending to you clients or maybe it's for resellers to offer design features to clients.
