Anyone know how to connect PP with forum upgrades? (Auto Upgrades)

Krados · 12-27-2015, 03:38 AM

Well, me and my friend are setting up a forum, and if possible, I need someone to inform me of how to make VIP upgrades automatic when purchased via PayPal.
If anyone could help, it'd be really appreciated, thank you.

You could try that and modify that to your needs.

PayPal will limit your PayPal instantly like they did mine on my forum if it's not verified. That being said I suggest you to verify your PayPal.

Use IPN (Instant Payment Notification) hook from PayPal. It will send a request to your script everytime someone completes an order. You can then parse than to MyBB and upgrade the user.

IPN is the best option.

I'd vouch for this. IPN is probably the best.

That's the only way (that I know of), at least for PayPal purchases.

Ffs post something helpful?
Why do you really think I haven't searched on google? Just looking for which one is the best solution since a lot of members here have knowledge about it.

I'm not going to spoonfeed you but you're gonna need to use an IPN. You will need to pass the UID and upon payment completion confirmation from PayPal you will need to run a SQL query to update the GID.

Paypal have quite a lot of documentation regarding the IPN.
