- paraschopra 17y agoHi jv2222, two questions if you don't mind me asking a) Did you start selling paid accounts from day 1. Or was there a paid beta period? How many of your paid beta users converted? b) For payments I see you use PayPal. Can you point to some resources to get the subscription based system with PayPal up and running?

Very few converted because I gave them all a free pass for one year. Here's the paypal links I used to get things up and running... https://www.paypal.com/en_US/ebook/subscriptions/html.html https://www.paypal.com/en_US/ebook/subscriptions/html.html https://www.paypal.com/en_US/ebook/subscriptions/Appx-ipn_subscription_variables.html https://www.paypal.com/en_US/ebook/subscriptions/Appx-ipn_su... https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables#id08A6HI00JQU https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&c...
