Hi, thank you for taking the time to reply. While I will give feedback to your comments, please do not take them as attacks, they are simple questions following up with your comments. So if they sound direct, please understand they are only meant to get to the details rapidly.
I posted questions more than once about how to integrate paypal subscriptions into the cart system and no one replied. The purpose of a community is to help and share yes? I was under water and not able to find answers anywhere. I have a lot of stress and I need something to go easy in my life.
Second, to clarify, I was a developer for many, many years, and then I stopped doing it professionally when I got into IT Management. But yet, I still did projects and work on the side, admitting i have not kept up with the latest in everything due to a simple lack of time. If you have a magical way of adding 10 hours to each of my days I would be happy to dig in deeper. But, this could just be a claim and I know very little about development if anything at all. Really, times change and maybe I did not change enough with those times.
If you created your own api interface that integrates paypal subs in with normal paypal, please, make it a plugin, I will come back and I will use it. In fact, I will be your first customer. I only got it to work with implementing a direct call to the subscription checkout on Paypal from where I was having the user make the selections. Futher, what I read on the PayPal developer integration side was that a subscription submission does not integrate with Billing Agreements, but maybe I have read it wrong? See the section "Integration features"
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/subscriptions/#integration-featuresFurther, are you saying that you can integrate subscriptions with other products during checkout, including having that data integrate within the abantecart framework and data storage? Were you also able to remove a subscription at a users request by looking up their shopping history and giving this option?
You are right about WordPress, I know, but what other options did I have?
And finally, about money. I think I mentioned in my post I understood clearly about AbanteCart being free and that always comes at a cost to someone. I never expect things for free in life, and while I cannot spend a fortune I also would pay a little. I did make a donation to AbanteCart once I got into the forum and saw I got an answer. But, charging $60 an hour for help is too much for me, which is what I saw listed here
http://managed.abantecart.com/. I am an unemployed broke guy, just trying to set up a small business online to hopefully generate a couple of hundred dollars a month if I am lucky.
I look forward to hearing back from you and who knows, maybe your sub. solution is something I can integrate into a solution within Abantecart
