Dolphin without PayPal = Useless (must read)
Hello everybody,
I hope you all do great with your Dolphin, but I'm not and i envy you at this very moment, since my website got rejected by PayPal.
As i red in BoonEX's statements is "Sorry... we cannot add/support more payment gateways" With other words "You must stick with PayPal..." GOOD JOB!
I got my Dolphin website rejected by PayPal, and they limited my account. They truly regret it... Wow, what a great thing, and what a coincidence: I ALSO REGRET IT!!! Looks like everybody feels sorry, sharing their apologies or regrets... What about me? A Dolphin user... which cannot use PayPal anymore because my account is limited by PayPal. I guess my only option is that i must ask people to pay for their membership sending me some money by letter. Perhaps with this opportunity i can also get some flowers at home as appreciation from my members... pretty nice things can happen though... So what can i do with Dolphin 7? (Huh... i told myself i must behave...) I better not say. What's the worth if Dolphin 7, such a nice script, cannot use nothing else but Paypal?
Register myself again with PayPal? Who will i fool? I told PayPal i removed the tiny little inconvenient they considered as "obscene/sexual" since i really do not promote sexuality with my website... and they said "there's nothing i can do about it, my site will stay rejected for good, same as my PayPal account = limited. Cool, at least i can change my contact information daily, just to make my PayPal account feel like useful.
So i won't ask BoonEX "Pleaaaaaaaaaaaase add more payment options.!"
Because as it seems, they don't give a damn about this issue. Better drop it than fixing it, right? CCbill, no way... 2CheckOut ... why should you BoonEX ??? Don't bother...
I'm afraid i may no longer have reasons to check for Dolphin 7 updates, since i cannot use any other payment gateways but PayPal. Sticking with the buggy Dolphin 6 is the best choice for the moment for me.
Dolphin 7 - Such a great script but such a big waste (for me)... what a pitty. And all of you reading this, be sure i feel very sad about it, especially if i have to mention that i stick with BoonEX for more than 2 years now...
I'm wondering if i am the only one in this situation. I'm wondering if in the very future i can find a way out to integrate CCbill, 2Checkout, AlertPay etc etc since i am not a programmer/coder. What i have left is praying to God to give me clearance and perhaps some PHP coding skills, enough to integrate another payment gateway than PayPal....
Cheers
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
1. Stick with D6, but you will never be able to upgrade.
2. Pay a programmer whatever they want to add this payment option.
3. Open a new paypal account under a business partner or a relative and use paypal on your site till they find out.
4. Move on from Dolphin..<<---That was my option.
How hard can it be to make sure that different payment facilities are available for what ever you want to use your site for.
As mickyb says, you did right, as later on, when you less expected it, you could have experienced the same--perhaps even worst if site activity was really high.
I am sure that there are some talented programmers here who may be able to help you integrate additional payment gateways in the mean time.

Instead of integrating payment processors one-by-one, why not think bigger and try to find someone to integrate an off-the-shelf payment system that gives you ALL of the payment options.
Maybe something like this: http://www.amember.com
I'd bet that a person could find a lot of people around here to share development costs. Yeah... the amember script is $179, but that shouldn't be a problem see more
Maybe Boonex can work with these guys to get a plugin for D7. Considering the anticipated D7 user base, the folks at aMember would probably provide the plugin for free.
Here's a copy of the readme that comes with the aMember/Dolphin plugin:
Dolphin Plugin
Dolphin Plugin is designed to provide single-signon access for users of aMember Pro and the Dolphin.

Mark my words, PayPal will still blow 10 years from now.
...or they will change/go under/ or switch ownership.
Both PayPal & ebay took the wrong lesson from the credit collapse. They think they are indispensable now & they treat people accordingly.
PayPal and H1N1 are both sponsored by pigs. Avoid them when possible.
Now they are pushing their morality on others?
How Republican.
Theguypc, i agree on that. And since my account is limited i also cannot use that credit cards to make payments elsewhere. I don't think they will remain "number one" forever with all these restrictions.
I already have AlertPay accounts running with Dolphin 616 and will run testing when I get more time in December.
...sip...
also it has been mentioned to write something for google checkout.
