Just for clarification:
I'm running VMWare ESXi on a Quad Opteron 32GB RAM HP Server
I'm using an Intel Pro/1000mt Dual Gigabit 82546EB NIC Card
I have each RJ45 on its own dedicated vSwitch
My VM is:
Windows 2008 Enterprise Server x86 SP2
16GB RAM
120GB HD
Please let me know if this is satisfactory, or if I should make any changes in the VM. |

I have another question.
Can I setup FirstSpot to use more than 1 payment gateway?
Can I setup FirstSpot to use the same payment gateway, but multiple Merchant accounts? |

You can only use 1 payment gateway. So you plan to use PayPal?

Currently, FirstSpot supports only one merchant account at a time.
So you want to use different PayPal account based the purchased amount? The idea is that we need to customize ppal_ipn.php and paypal_submit.php and select the correct PayPal account based on a criteria (e.g. amount).

Yes
With the standard macropayment paypal the fee is ~2.9% + $0.30
With a micropayment of $1 that would be $0.33 or a 33% fee
With the standard micropayment paypal the fee is ~5% + $0.05
With a micropayment of $1 that would be $0.10 or a 10% fee
If you had 100 customers purchasing 5 hours each 1 hour at a time over the period of 1 month that would be a cost savings of $115
I would like to offer hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly rates.
Do you provide php customization on a consulting basis or are there instructions for php customization?
Thank you |

We do both. If have simple criteria, we can instruct how to customize. Or we can do the customization a paid project for you.
So what is the exact criteria for selecting each account? Can we just go by the payment amount?

Absolutely,
If the payment is $11.99 or below, we could statically assign it to point to the micropayment account.
If the payment is $12 or above, we would statically assign it to point to the macropayment account.
Thanks again for your assistance, so far with testing, things are well. I will be reading the manual over the weekend. |

1) First, make sure you set the default as micropayment account under Configuration Manager -> Credit Card. Make sure everything works okay first.
2) In ppal_ipn.php
Find
| Code: | $log .= date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A')." - Incorrect reciever_email\r\n";
$valid_txn = false; |
Replace
| Code: | // hard code macropayment account
$receiver_email2 = "your_macropayment_account@your_email.com";
$tmp_cal_amount = 0;
if (isset($_POST["tax"]) && $_POST["tax"] > 0) {
$tmp_cal_amount = $_POST["mc_gross"] - $_POST["tax"];
} else {
$tmp_cal_amount = $_POST["mc_gross"];
}
if (isset($_POST["shipping"]) && $_POST["shipping"] > 0) {
$tmp_cal_amount = $tmp_cal_amount - $_POST["shipping"];
}
if ($tmp_cal_amount < 12 || (isset($_POST["txn_type"]) && strcmp($_POST["txn_type"], "cart")!=0 && isset($_POST["receiver_email"]) && strcmp ($_POST["receiver_email"], $receiver_email2) != 0)){
$log .= date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A')." - Incorrect reciever_email\r\n";
$valid_txn = false;
} |
3) In paypal_submit.php
Find
| Code: | | $postfields['business'] = $id; |
Replace
| Code: | $postfields['business'] = $id;
if ($cart_item_arr['amount'] >= 12){
// hard code macropayment account
$postfields['business'] = "your_macropayment_account@your_email.com";
} |

| Just an FYI, it takes approx 2 business days to transfer a paypal account to a paypal micropayment account, so I'm waiting on that until I continue. |

Alan,
I restarted my server today to install Windows Updates.
Upon login, the FirstSpot Status was STOPPED.
Which Services must I ensure be "Automatic" and "Started" for Firstspot to be Started and Running upon boot? |

You need to make "PatronSoft FirstSpot Dispatcher" service as automatic.
Refer to readme.rtf -> Other issues -> point 5 for more information
