Job listing / Form / Paypal integration

[lucas]

Hi guys,

I'd like to build a job listing section where anyone can submit jobs (with no user registration required) and job entries/pages would be created only after a payment through Paypal is received. 

So I was wondering if there's a PW module like Formidable Pro Paypal for WordPress.

I know there's Form Builder, but is it suitable in this case? Does it have integration with Paypal?

I don't think such a module exists at the moment, but I would think you could accomplish this with the PayPal IPN. Once the IPN reports back that the payment is completed then you could set the page to published.

@einsteinsboi, thank you for the reply!

How tricky would it be for a non-developer to do this? =\

I don't think it's trivial, but I don't believe it's too difficult either. I haven't tried it though, but you won't lose anything by giving it a go

There are lots of basic Paypal IPN tutorials on the web. Will try and find a link to a simple one for you, but google will get you started.

Here's a link to get you going on the processwire end:

Best approach with these things is to start coding, trying, experimenting, and post here any hurdles you run into and people will pitch in and help you keep moving forward.
