This is unnecessarily complicated. That's why I handle all subscriptions with PayPal.
- detaro 8y agoHow does PayPal handle granular billing like this?
- eruci 8y agoSimple. Send the customer to PayPal with a subscription request, the amount and customer id. They activate the subscription and pay. Get that id back via IPN after each new subscription. Deliver the service. Done!
- detaro 8y agoHow does that match the use case here, with billing per minute? If the user has to confirm each subscription, you can't efficiently create new subscriptions for e.g. each call. You also can't know beforehand how much you'll need to bill. If you're at the end of the month sending a single "here's everything" request, I fail to see how that's different from what's described in the article.
- base 8y agoPaypal has APIs that support that. Example: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ec_set_up_reference_transactions/ https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/e...
- zlib 8y agoPayPal subscriptions are fixed amounts.
