I need your advice....

Hi,

Based on info from some users, the test program and what I read (including in this forum), I will buy aMember as soon as I am sure it can handle what I need.

(I also remember about 3 yr ago, when I asked some info about the product, how helpful they are, so you guys see good usersupport pays off ))

I am building an adult webcamsystem. I need a central user registration and handling of payments. It seems aMember is the way to go.

I need also the possibilitie to gave members access to e.g. forums, galleries and other programs, and also this seems to be included in aMember (on a price).

My important questions are as a not-so-experioenced-programmer:

1. Can I write easily code to send data to the gateway of the camprogram? Is aMember giving me some hooks to pickup the confirmation of the payment processor that the payment is accepted and how to do some calculations (see 2.) and send the results to the gateway....

2. If someone pays a certain amount, he'll get some extra money. Example: a customer pays 100$ and I need to export to the gateway two lines: one for the 100$ payment and one for 10$ free credit. If point 1 is answerred yes, I think this will also yes...

3. As an extension I need to send a third line for bonus points, but I think the number of messages I wanna sent is more programmatic then aMember related. After each payment I need to write some values in extra aMemberfields....

4. What are the good payment processors for adult that work with aMember as in 1,2 and 3, and who accepts payments greater than 100$. I am interested to hear your opinion about the qualities of the payment processors.

5. Are there programmers (of course there are who can do the programming work for us to connect aMember with the gateway. Of course I look to programmers that are fluent in "aMember", PHP and mySQL.
I am just writing the extended specs and can give the gateway code requirements and examples. There is a testsystem running (without the girls .

6. Possible extensions will be the connection with a pay-per-phone-per-minute system: the customer calls a 900-type phone number and as long as he is online the connection is open and his wallet is "constantly" filled. Here i depend on a specialized third-party, but he need to have restricted access to the aMember member database.

Of course I am lazy and don't like to put more work as necessary into the handling of the payments. My efforts need to go to the site and making my customers happy. As I am told aMember seems to be very reliable, so if there is some good programming between the systems.....

I appreciate your tips, info, opinions.....
