dgow13 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I'm using EW4. I want to have new members create a new account and then make their payment before their confirmation email is sent to them. Where should i start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Do you have account signup functionality in place, or are you starting from scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgow13 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have the design / layout that I want but, nothing else. I set it up like I would a contact form just to see what the layout would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 When you say a "sign up" form, what does that do exactly? create a user account (with login, password protected area, ability to reset passwords, etc?) or is it more of a contact form that simply emails you who has paid? Sounds like you have a couple options... You could try to build it on your own using PHP and a database (there are videos within the KillerSites University on creating a password protected login system, and if you use PayPal the shopping cart series talks about that) or you could try to use something that is prebuilt like Wordpress or similar... It's partially dependent on your needs and what payment processor is handling payments. And, I suppose, there is always the option of hiring a web developer who knows what they are doing to do it. If you have no/little PHP experience, I would be hesitant to build out a system that handles payment processing due to the potential security issues involved.

dgow13 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 We are going to use PayPal to handle the payment processing. I have the form and the database built so far. I am working out the bugs. I am hesitant to send you a link on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
