Sorry about doubleposting, but since the PSoft forum is not so well visited Iand I know there are some H-Sphere users here I'd take a chance:

I need to get 2checkout.com going right away ( can't wait til next version ) and here's my idea:

1. I set plan prices in H-Sphere to $0. Also inform my customers via signup form/faq etc that recurring billing info ( regarding their base plan ) is not viewable via CP.

2. People signup via my own form, I redirect them to 2checkout.com and after payment I get the
email from 2checkout saying the order is paid. I can then track back to see what domain name they entered on the signup
form ( I already have a MySQL solution for this ).

3. I manually sign them up in H-Sphere as check payment users. I have modified the email sent out after signup ( new_signup_moderated.txt ) so it says nothing about "please send check to..." but instead
"We have received your payment through 2checkout.com...we are now creating your account bla bla"

3. All extra stuff ( cause the thing is I want them to be able to buy extra disk etc ) will be priced and billed as usual in H-Sphere. So if they want 3 GB extra they can get that.
Until their credit limit that is - cause then an email invoice is sent out - automatically???
I modify the invoice email template to include a link to 2checkout with amount and some extra stuff so I can identify the user later.

4. I get email from 2checkout that user XXX has paid $yyy and I can manually credit their account.

Will this work? I am not sure from step 3 and one? Has anyone solved it differently?

You can do it as "Check" payments, then #3 would work, as well as everything else...

No he was talking about the next version of H-Sphere, which should support 2CheckOut/Revecom/PayPal type processors.
