Hey guys, I for some time have been wanting to make a plugin or something that is like buycraft. Whatever method is easier, be making a plugin or coding a script that issues a command when it confirms the payment has been made, I want to do it. I have family and friends who have extensive coding experience, and I have little. Where could I start? Users on my server have told me they don't want to donate because they feel that going to an external website is "unsafe" (I know, but they are kids/parents are nuts) but I need help making payments. Something simple that would promote the user to vip with a command or give that player items upon donation. EDIT: If it helps, I physically posess my own server - in my house. It's a Ubuntu Linux.
im not sure how buycraft works, but im gonna go out on a limb saying that it works one of two ways: 1) it passes a unique link to the player, they click it, make their purchase, and paypal communicates with the plugin on success or fail of said purchase 2) it asks for their information directly, and handles the purchase itsself. (1 seems more likely) Either or, they still need to use a payment service :\ I mean, the only other alternative i can see is them snail-mailing you some cash...
Noooo - I know there is a way - the buycraft way will cost $2,000 to setup (SSL, Autho.net, etc) I've priced it. It's simple but hard - the concept is easy. Player buys, script is listening, script sends info to MC server, MC server receives using fetch script, issues command.
You'd also need to set up something with a paypal IPN, like buycraft does, to confirm a payment's success.
