I have a membership site. If users submit the form, I set the status=pending then if they pay the membership fee, I set the status=active. I know Paypal has function IPN that I can run a script after users pay, but I don’t like to use Paypal. Is there a merchant account can solve my problem? I want to run a script to update the database after the user has paid. Anybody knows how to do?
Thanks
In order to tie the transaction to the order you'll need to control the submission process - i.e. you have a credit card form on your website and use a gateway provider/processor. The normal communications with almost any transaction processor will yield at minimum a "yes" or "no" upon processing the card's account and the transaction requested. Therefore all you need to do is to use a "yes" to trigger a script to flag the user as "active".
Specifics will depend upon the processor you choose to use and the script you're using.
