Customer order form - API - Billing question

[vrepub]

Simple question...

If I build my own custom order form using the RP Advanced API, which of the following is true?

1: I can have my custom API order form completely integrate with RP's billing system such that RP takes care of charging my new customers using RP's own billing processors, exactly as if I were using the RP remote order form. Therefore nothing changes except that my order form is customized.

or

2: The above is not possible. I absolutely need to have a wallet balance in order to sell hosting services through a custom order form using RP Advanced API.


The API section in the RP control panel seems to suggest #1 is possible, but some forum posts I've read suggest that only #2 is possible. I don't want to waste time making a custom order form if only #2 is true.

Thanks.

PS: I'm not referring to using the new WHCMS module, my question is strictly about making and using my own customized order form and connecting to the RP Advanced API.

I believe both are available, but only seen option 2 in action, but I think it is very limited in what and how you charge your customers. Profits are then only paid out when you meet the minium payout amount and once a month.

Hi, clive. Yeah I know about payouts, I just need RP to be taking care of paying processing and without using my wallet.

...but I think it is very limited in what and how you charge your customers.

Are you saying that if I make a custom order form using the API that I can't sell every service if I use option 1?

...but only seen option 2 in action.

I would love to see a custom order form using the API in action. If you can, and you don't want to post publicly, PM me a link if you can. If not, I understand.
