Any ideas of how can be integrated opensrs with instabill?

Well, you could have a script check for a successful order, but to be honest, I have never thought instabill actually was quite real time (I know, it says it is), but...

Try to use the new "Membership" type in instabill. When you setup a new product, set it up as membership type, then put the script they provide on your site and you are set to go.

How would that work with a domain purchase?
The person is billed and sent a password.
What happens to the passowrd they enter into the opensrs system, or am I missing something here?

Well, I think it might work better due to it actually being real time (more than the other way at least). You could set a script to check for the auth codes, or the password, etc, or who knows.

I cann't really give all the details because I am not familiar with the specifics of the opensrs signup process, but in general what I would do is the following:
Get the user to fill out the domain signup form including the domain name, the password, all the information needed.
After clicking "Next" button, the user is taken to a verification screen where they can make sure the information they entered is correct. During this step, th "Next" button for this screen is actually a submit button for a form where I would have a script include the domain name and password entered in the previous screen.
When the user hits "Next" he is taken to the payment screen. Then redirected to a final screen.
The final screen would ask the user to enter the domain name and password to finalize the registration. At this step I would check Instabill for the username (domain name) and password, if correct go ahead and setup the domain. If not, go back to the payment stage or handle it differently...
This procedure may need some tweeking but it should work. Maybe someone who is more familiar with the opensrs setup process can provide better details.
