Marcelo, André, Many thanks for responses!
I've done a bit of research on PayPal, and it doesn't seem too great. For one - it looks like the buyers need to have a PayPal account, which is a big inconvenience for them. If I needed to create a PayPal account before I could buy something, I'd just decide that it's not worth it. Two - it seems unprofessional. None of the subscription-based services that I subscribe to use it. Even the little guys (37signals Basecamp and Backpack, FreshBooks, etc..) Is there a way to use PayPal that doesn't require buyers to have a PayPal account, and is transparent to them? Cheers, Matt On 9/4/06, André Goliath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

They integrate very nice into your webpage, can handle subscriptions and have good developer support and API documentation while are not too expensive. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marcelo de Moraes Serpa Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 5:22 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] OT: Recommendations for a credit-card processingservice for a subscription-based Flash app Paypal maybe?
