It's 2:20am and I have college in about 6 and a half hours and I should probably sleep but ehhh, I'll live. Well anyway tonight I've been looking at different payment methods that I can have for my website. At first I was thinking about storing users bank details in one of my databases and then taking the money out manually but then I realised how risky that would be. I may know how to develop a system like that but no-where near to the security standards that would I'd need.
So I decided I would use PayPal to sort out all my problems only I didn't realise how complicated it actually is to set the functionality up on my site. Well saying that all the functionality will be there when I have to add it anyway so it'll just fit into place. But tonight I've been learning how I would set up the IPN payment method and I'm quite looking forward to it. It's going to be a challenge. In a few weeks I get to go and get my business bank account and then I'll be able to set up PayPal.
The good thing about PayPal is that when I create a business account it will automatically set up a book system which will measure all my incomings and outgoings which can make things a lot easier.
