I am the webmaster for a small non-profit that helps low income people get their animals spayed and neutered.
Every year, we have a calendar contest in which pet owners submit pictures of their pets. Our site allows people to vote for the entries at $1/vote. Currently, we allow them to add votes to their cart. The site stores a token in the database and then sends them to paypal were they pay for their votes. After the transaction is complete, they click on the reutrn link on the paypal site to return to our site. The link contains the token which, upon returning, counts their votes as paid for. The problem we are running into is that some people do not click on the return link, which results in them paying for votes but the votes not counting. This causes us to have to do a manual audit of the votes which is time consuming and causes customers to worry that their vote is not being counted. Because of the cost involved, we are not able to use a traditional credit card processor for the contest. We would like to continue using paypal for payments if possible, although I would be willing to use someone else if the price was right. Does anyone offer something that we might be able to use that would solve this problem? If there is a solution that allows us to process the transaction without leaving our site that would be great. Alternatively, if we can get paypal to post a http request to our site automatically once the transaction is complete that would work as well. The contest will only last for a month or two so we would like to avoid costly set up fees or long term commitments. Thank you for your help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
