The web edit system Club FTE has been using for 2+ years has support for Paypal IPN and nothing else. When other services start developer networks and ease of interface like Paypal then perhaps the company I buy the software from will support it but until then there nothing I can do. I will not kill myself spending more time writing a payment interface for a package whose code I'm not familiar with. The point of the system is less work for me, not more. Its going to take enough time to get the forums interfaced with the system but at least its PHP instead of Perl.

There's nothing broken with the current payment interface. It works. The money was transferred and my software correctly held off turning on the accounts until the money was deposited. The login problems have nothing to do with Paypal (its happening with non-expired accounts as well). It merely because not all the passwords migrated when I upgraded the version.

You have a choice:

1. Use Paypal
2. Call in an order
3. Don't register/renew

I'm not twisting anyone's arm to make any particular choice.
