Thread: Help: Setting up a services payment system in Wordpress

I have a friend who runs a photography website/blog and he's decided to offer a photo retouching service, he's come to me as web related stuff isn't really his forte and I offered to help, but I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to go about it.

Essentially, he wants to charge $20 per retouch, and he says limiting submissions to one at a time is fine.

Here's the method I came up with, keep in mind I don't really work with this stuff a lot (I'm a front-end web designer, not a coder.)

1. Have retouching splash page with link to paypal gateway
2. Visitor goes to gateway, pays $20
3. Gateway takes user to wordpress form submission page and asks to enter: Name, Email, PayPal Transaction ID & Upload Photo (was going to use contact form 7 for this)

Then my friend can check his email and verify the transaction ID with paypal.

I'm not sure if this method is good or not, but I'm interested in seeing if anyone has a better solution (or knows of a plugin, haha.)

Thanks in advance!

This seems to be good, but if you want only limited submission per month (About 10) then You can use the Form Builder to collect the details & Payment through PayPal or others Processors.

May be you can see this if it works for you:- JotForm · Easiest Form Builder

I had seen many website using this to accept order & you can have varied fields for collecting many informations.

Hope this Helps.
