Hi Marty, Such systems with fixed registration codes are very sensitive to hacking. My registration systems are based on a name entered by the buyer or linked to the PayPal account. That makes illegal distribution of the registration code slightly less probable. I think that 8.9% is very expensive, although for very cheap products it might be a good thing, if there isn't also a minimum fee. Customisation sounds good, that might be a reason for me to still look into this.
Actually, PayPal has an easy-to-implement, very effective and inexpensive system to deal with registration codes (and any other item you might want to sell on-line). I just don't like their policies (e.g. PayPal makes it impossible for software company to proof that a license has been delivered in case if a dispute). I tend to say: I'll open an open-source website for this, but since the OAuth initiative didn't bring anything, I believe I won't try this again. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille P.S. To anyone who wrote me an e-mail recently: please be patient, I will get back to you.
