Payout


Using Jamroom

andersda:I understand the paying out process. But don't you need to configure a paypal account to use? Where does that happen?

They set this in their Profile settings. When you activate the FoxyCart module, there is a "Payout Email Address" field added there.

andersda:Also, does not answer the question about alternate payout methods. Here the issue:

I'm using foxycart and stripe to process transactions. Stripe handles the payout using transfer api. This is good, at least in the U.S, because it pays directly to bank accounts and the fees are lower than paypal. However, it does not work internationally.

Im trying to figure out how to support both. I mean, I thought the goal of switching to foxycart was to be able to to support other payment processors in order to support users who couldn't or wouldn't use paypal.

Yes - that is 100% true - for the money you receive from customers - it's not a 2 way system - in other words, FoxyCart is designed for receiving payments - they have not created a "send money" API for sending money through multiple payment providers.

andersda:Ideally, the user should be given an option to enter paypal payment address or enter bank info for payment. The the payout script pay accordingly.

Yeah it does not work this way - you will need to build something custom if you want the module to be able to handle multiple payout payment providers.

Let me know if that helps.

Payout


Using Jamroom

Payout is really simple - you:

- log in as the master admin and go to FoxyCart -> Tools
- click on the "Profile Payout" tool. You will be presented with a screen showing all the profiles that are above your quota configured "payout level".
- press the "payout selected profiles" button and a CSV file will be downloaded to your computer
- the CSV file is setup to work with PayPal's MassPay - however since it is just a CVS file you could use it for any other payment method you want (even write checks if needed).
- when you're "done" with the payout, click the "complete payout" button and the profile balances will be adjusted by the amount in the CVS file.

If you're familiar with JR4 payouts, it works just the same.

Hope this helps!

MAD©:ok cheers @brian...Love the support here ;D

Awesome ;)

OK I just pushed out an updated 1.0.9 - looking through the code I saw the potential for the integrity check to remove a video if it received an "invalid" response from YouTube - I've updated that so it only removes the video if the video actually returns a 404 not found on YouTube.

Update and run the integrity check and let me know how it goes.

Hope this helps!

I do see a potential issue looking at the code however - hold off on running it until I test it here.

Thanks!

The YouTube integrity check seems to work for me - it got way past 90 (I stopped it around 300).

MAD©:Hmmm... How did you work out that?
We haven't changed much on the front page instead of bringing in new tpl files which have been weak

Just wondering how you got to 5.8mb in size???

You have your media player set to autoplay, which automatically starts downloading the audio file. SO I guess the size is going to vary depending on whatever audio file is the first in your player.

Let me know if that helps.

mp3 importer


Design and Skin Customization

the jPlayer that JR5 uses plays OGG no problem - our audio module just does not convert to it at this time. It's something on my TODO, but it's going to need a queue runner which would allow sites to "reconvert" audio files, and since that's not done yet either, the OGG support has been on hold.

It will come in the future though, but will require more disk space since you'll need both an MP3 and an OGG.

Hope this helps!

One suggestion - your front page is 5.8mb in size covering 96 separate requests - may not be a big deal if your user base is all fast broadband and desktop, but that's probably going to be hard on most mobile users.

Just my 2 cents though ;)

I'll let you know what I find out about the YouTube module.

Nothing should be hanging - I'll see if I can see what's up.

mp3 importer


Design and Skin Customization

izhmel:Amy word on the mp3 importer ?

Not yet - we had a really full week last week (dozens of module updates and releases). It's still on my todo, we just have not had much demand for it outside your request.

Hopefully soon!

Thanks!
