Subject Using PayPal directly towards DH Bill  
Posted bySpearfish (DH Regular)
Posted on05/25/08 08:41 PM



Hi guys,

I just have a simple question:
Is there a way to use a PayPal account to directly send money to my DH bill? Just like how it works with donations, files forever, etc? I am too young to have a PayPal account.... I signed up for DH through my parents, but I'd rather not bother them again with finances.

Thanks,
-Spear

Of course. Remember this, you are always welcome to give out your money in this world.

Check DH panel --> Billing --> Make Payment There will be a PayPal button over there. Click on it and key in your PayPal account information and done.

Sorry, let me clarify.

I would like to know if there's a PayPal email address where moneys sent there automatically go towards my DH bill.

NOT
If I can use an existing PayPal to pay my bill.

Can you not create some of your own buttons and use the donation option to create the code....

At the moment you can go to the donations (to you) part of the panel and select the amount, then complete some details and then pick a button or have your own. It will then give you the code to put on your website. As far as I'm aware those amounts then go directly towards your bill and you cannot cash them out.

I would have thought you could use the same principle - by creating similar buttons (maybe create one then edit the code for your needs - ie instead of it chargind $10 you charge $4.95 or whatever the amount is that you need. You could also have your own button - maybe something that just says "Pay Now"

The trouble is that there's no way to log payment, AFAIK.

I sent a message to support asking the same question, and the answer was:

In reply to:


I'm afraid there is no way to really bypass the middleman....sorry :-/ I
will pass along the idea though! I know how those fees can add up. Let
me know if you have any other questions.



Nice and friendly support, quick too. I got it only a few hours after submitting my question with the "Just a casual question, comment, idea, suggestion..." option.

Regardless, I'll probably ask them about tracking payments.

Thanks a ton.
