I also would like 68C to concentrate more o features that appeal to the majority.

As for pooling money, thats a great way to "buy" code if you can all organize it. Keep in mind though that you all have to agree on the implementation of the feature request.

As far as stipulating that you then become owners of the code, that gets a bit tricky.

For starters, if you own the code and sell it you better be prepared to support it. Also, code is intellectual property and in the US is copyrighted at time of creation. By stipulating that you as the buyer now own it you are asking for someone to sign over their copyright to the code and in turn give up future profits from it. This is something I wont do unless paid a very high premium for the code itself since I legally lose the right to reuse and resell it myself.

Eric - I meant the ability to inject the payment amount, then intercept the payment return and do something else other than create an order for a listing or approve a listing.

Larry - you are very right. I tend to always think of something as if I were to do it, so supporting it comes second nature to me. Thanks for reminding anyone else not to forget that aspect.

Just pointed the thread so that all other people looking for info about this can easily end up in a central point of info.

i spent I don't know how much time going through all the different threads trying to find useful info.

Just thought it would be appreciated in the long run by other users like me.

Any news regarding this?

has anyone using 68Class been able to integrate payment?

Please speak up...

sadly enough this might be the only feature that 68Class lacks for it to be ALMOST perfect!

i need a solution for this. can someone help?

Please read Larry's reply. It is clear that this payment gateway does not exist and nobody is working on it. You only need to submit it as a feature request rather than dragging multiple old threads back to put them at the top and then trying to redirect other threads back to your thread. It is not going to get your concern or desire for this payment provider to be supported any more attention.

i just cant believe that since 2006 nobody has done anything about this.

specially after so many requests

Demand drives development. If no one is working on it then demand simply isnt high enough or at least not high enough to warrant the effort.

Look at this from a developer standpoint. This poll shows 14 people interested.

If the mod for example sells for $50 and you sell 15 copies thats $750. And this of course doesnt take into account future sales but it also doesnt acount for potential support issues along the way that eat up time.

What if the module takes you 40 hours to create and your normal hourly rate is $50 an hour in the same amount of time you spent making the module you could have made $2000.

At the end of the day asking a developer to undertake this project you are asking them to take a 63% pay cut. Are you willing to work for 63% less than you are now?

People have car payments, heating bills and mortgages to pay.

Eirc mentioned they were going to make this standard on a upcoming version. he just doesn't know when it will be release. (again, since 2006)

Larry, in your experience, how much (give or take) can I expect to pay a coder to do this for me?
