Ecommerce / Re: Affordable Recurring Credi...
Last post by Dynaweb - December 09, 2013, 03:50:59 PMWe here at HostNed have been using 2checkout (2CO) for a long time. How has 2CheckOut been working for us? I guess you could say we are satisfied. Very few issues ever and any problems have been resolved quickly and thoroughly. Lately they have added more protection against fraud and chargebacks which REALLY helps.
Other than 2CO, I am not sure who else can offer RECURRING billing for low/no monthly minimums and fees.
* Update October 2021: Since the recent acquisition by Verifone, our dealings with 2CO have been much less than satisfactory. Support is slow to non-existent and very frustrating. Although transactions are still being handled properly, we are now preferring PayPal over 2Checkout.

Ecommerce / Affordable Recurring Credit Ca...
Last post by ctwjr - December 05, 2013, 02:19:19 PMHi HostNed'ers, I am looking for a solution for accepting recurring payments on my website. I know PayPal does the "subscriptions" thing, but I do not want that. I need something more traditional where subscribers can use a credit card as usual. I have found some solutions out there that do this, but many charge big monthly fees (like $30 to $90 a MONTH!). I am not going to be doing volume enough to justify a large monthly fee. I understand that the providing service needs to make money, so I do not mind paying a fee per transaction.
Does anyone know of a service like this, or have any experience or review of it?

Scripting / Re: Help With form2email
Last post by Dynaweb - November 21, 2013, 03:19:07 PMThat could be achieved by using either a separate web page before the main form OR by using javascript. I do not know of any pre-fabricated script that will do that easily, but if you want I can customize the script for a nominal charge.

Scripting / Re: Help With form2email
Last post by form2email - November 21, 2013, 02:57:15 PMHi Dynaweb,
Thanks for this suggestion, will look into it.
Ideally I would like a form which starts with the client's details but if they click no on 'are you the student' then another part of the form opens asking for the student's details.
Is this easy to do or am I better to stay with what I've got?

Many thanks

Scripting / Re: Help With form2email
Last post by Dynaweb - November 21, 2013, 11:20:04 AMOh, that is a perl script. I stopped using perl many years ago in favor of PHP which is more easily configurable and cross-server compatible.
Here is a good php form-to-email script that comes with instructions.

Last post by form2email - November 21, 2013, 10:15:46 AMHi,
Thank you for this advice, I have put in the script the same form names as in the form.
I also want to make the form compatible with android, windows & apple products.
Many thanks

Scripting / Re: Help With form2email
Last post by Dynaweb - November 20, 2013, 05:09:11 PMLooks like you have the fields "firstname" and "surname". Make sure those are reflected in your php script. If you still have trouble, post the php script here and I can review it.

Scripting / Help With form2email
Last post by form2email - November 20, 2013, 04:51:20 PMI am using form2email for my clients to contact me about obtaining a tutor.
I am using DW8, when I viewed it on firefox and clicked 'submit' I got the script page [I believe this means the form has been submitted. However, I don't think the required fields have been recognised and are therefore ignored when on the server. The thank you page does not work.
I have stipulated in the script which fields I want as required.
Question: should I stipulate in the script which fields I want or in the html form?
If in the form, this is how one of the fields look:
<tr>
<td align="right" class="style8">*Your first name: </td>
<td align="left" valign="middle" width="497"> <input type="text" name="firstname" size="26" maxlength="60" class="required" /> </td></tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" class="style8">*Your surname: </td>
<td align="left" valign="middle" width="497"><input type="text" name="surname" size="26" maxlength="60" class="required"/> </td></tr>
How this makes sense.
