paypal adaptive payments

Anyone integrated them into anything with D?

For those who don't know, paypal adaptive payments allow you to 'split' payment made via paypal between yourself and customers. 

For example, you could allow people to sell on your site, then charge a % commission on all sales.

Paypal will split the payment when its paid, and distribute to your account and the sellers account according to the % rate you set up.

I have a few ways I would like to use this within D, would be real helpful to know if anyone has done any sort of integration so far or not...

scouting through old Dolphin forum posts about this, been requested now for many years by numerous people but nothing on market still...

Newton mentioned that 7.1.5 was supposed to integrate something like paypal payflow payments, although the link on paypals site is not dead.

Anyone know anything about this for 7.1.5, or 7.2 as it now is?

Yes, it was mentioned by Andrew, maybe on one of my posts or someone else's posts but it was recently.  While you are searching I will see if I can find it as well.

Has someone working on a project with adaptive... Hopefully it will hit the market soonish.... will PM you...

It was in Andrew's blog:

Dolphin needs to become more lucrative! After all, you want to recoup all your software and hosting expenses and then make money to launch even more social networks ;) . We have already done most of this, and after a little more tuning we are going to introduce a number of site payments improvements. Integration of PayPal Pro, recurring payments, payment at sign up and modular payment system (installing different gateways easily) should bring Dolphin PRO a much needed boost of commercial efficiency.

'sounds' good, but again, it comes down to timeframe! cant quite pin down an estimate on when 7.2 will be launched...!

7.2 beta will be released after Dolphin U beta is released.  Therefore, one must first try to ascertain when Dolphin U beta will be released before one can try to ascertain with Dolphin 7.2 beta will be released.

 I know that you know that I know that...

In other words, it could be a long time!

For those who are interested, I have asked Jerome (Modzzz) regarding the integration of PayPal parallel payments in some of his ecommerce modules.

I have heavily customised his Gigs module to remove the need for the admin to make manual payments (less commission) - these payments are now split at the time of purchase.

I personally would like to see this in his other modules (classifieds, fund raiser, etc).

Send me a PM for the demo.
