Guys I am creating a chatroom website that I want people to subscribe to. First of all these guys will pay using paypal in a subscription.

Is there anyway to have paypal or any other payment processor produce a username and password for the subscriber - email that subscriber in a prewritten email, then activate that username and password so that the person can login into the chatroom.

First does anyone know of a software that even can do that added to paypal and if so what is it, and is anyone familiar with ADDONCHAT and can it do this?

I really need help guys its the last stage of my project I need to find a way to add it ASAP.

why don't you create a new user and password on the return url from paypal? Parameters can be passed through to paypal via the url query string and upon returning to the site (typically a thank-you for your order page) they could be added to a database and redirected to the chat app...

or were you thinking something different?

I think most users would be pretty unhappy with the system automatically generating a user name and password for them.

Generating a one-time password is OK, but not user name!

A one-time token would see appropriate. The token would give users access to the account set-up section of your site, where they would set-up an account in the conventional way.
