VBulletin Monetization...

Hello,

I am considering in purchasing a vBulletin 5 Connect

1. From what I gather the only way to process a charge is through the DONATE button which takes the users to Paypal.

2. I think when users register they can be asked if they wish to be Registered members and if so they are taken to a page and choose a contribution and then they are take to the Paypal page.

3. I understand that I can set up the forum within an eCommerce platform.

4. I would like members to be able to make purchases from a thread, preferably in vBulletin 5 Connect. I see this is possible with previous version, is this made possible by a mod? Can I have someone make a mod for me so that members can purchase and sell in a thread of a vB5?

I thank you in advance for your time.

    It all depends on how you want to manage things,
    I don't know anything about vbulletin to be honest - but all software like that allows for hooks into processes and groups to control who can post where.. etc..

    Buying from a thread? Does the forum software actually need to be involved? Are they buying membership upgrades? If so, PayPal IPN + group membership will be a good way to go..
    Not buying anything to do with the forum? Well - then it doesn't matter what the forum supports

    My 2c.. if a transaction doesn't need to go through your forum, don't try and shoe-horn it into it

    Cheers,
    Michael
