    I appreciate how nicely the Geocraft theme integrates with Paypay for recurring payments. However, I want my users to stay on site for secure payment on my page that is powered by Moonclerk. See link here: http://www.rebuildnewjersey.com/premium-payment/

    Is there an option to send the user to this page instead of the Paypal page after the user clicks the check-out button? I assume it's just a line of code somewhere, but I'm not sure where to look.

    Thanks!

    I remeber way back how a lot of ecommerce software went through the same issue. They only offered paypal to begin with and because people wanted different vendor options they were persuaded to add venor to their payment list options. If Geocraft is looking a long term survival it will have to follow this path as well.

    They should take a leaf out of the ecommerce guys and copy their lists of payment vendors and add them to the payment options, as it would save a lot of questions being asked in the forum.

    My understanding for you and me and others that want to use other options would be getting someone to either alter the code or something similar.

    First easy addition Guys would be to add an option for offline payments.

    I be keen to hear what the devlopment team is doing in this area.

    Thanks for the reply nzcid. To be clear, I already have another recurring payment option integrated into my site: http://www.rebuildnewjersey.com/premium-payment/

    It is a nice elegant solution that utilizes Stripe. Moonclerk uses Stripe and basically puts a simple UI and integration on top and charges a few bucks a month. I love it. All I need to do is change the action on the check out button so it points to this page, not to Paypal. I have not started charging yet, but I believe that conversion rate will be higher if I keep users on site rather than navigating to the ugly and confusing (to some people) Paypal interface.

    Greetings Sir.

    Seems to work well and something like this I would use as well as I agree users should be kept on site. Give them more confidence in the business you are offering. Great work..

    BUMP. Admin - can you please inform me where I can find the line of code that contains the action on the payment button? I am looking to change this action from the current action of leading to Paypal to a new action of leading to the payment page on my website, which I have set up for secure payment through Stripe. Thank you!

    Hello,

    The action is in the "listing_submit.php" file.

    For it go to the
    library > front_end > listing_submit.php

    Thanks, Nitesh. I am working on this now, but it is not as easy as it seems. This is because the button on the bottom of the 'Submit Listing' page 'review and check out' obviously carries forward the field information that the user inputs. We were able to change the action on the button but then the DB doesn't get populated with the user's information.

    At this point, can I hire you guys to work on this solution with me? To reiterate the challenge, I would like to avoid sending users to Paypal because it is confusing to many people and it will crush my conversion rate. I want to keep people on this site and send them to my custom payment page (which I can send to you privately), but also capture their information to populate the db with their listing. I realize that this might involve a manual review and acceptance process for each listing submission, but that is OK with me.

    I would like to discuss further if this is something that you can offer.

    Thanks,

    Joe
