Protx VSP Direct v2.0.0

[CES]

Hi and thanks for the prompt reply.

I presume that I should NOT turn on 3DS with Protx then or the system will break?

As soon as I am live and accepting payments, I shall certainly donate.

Thanks for all the help.

Hi,

Unfortunately you must keep 3D Secure switched off otherwise all transactions that could possibly use 3D secure will be declined.

(Instead of receiving the response "OK", 3D Secure transactions send back a response "3DAUTH", which is treated the same as "NOT OK" by the module at this time ;) ).

Glad to be of help! :)

All the best...

Hi Conor,

How much are you short on donations for the 3DS update to Protx?

Cheers

Hi,

We haven't received any donations towards 3D secure.

To be honest we hadn't been expecting many as I hadn't actually "put out a formal call" for donations as such. However, we've had a good look at things and releasing the module for free here and hoping for some donations to cover the time it has taken/takes to make this module available just isn't sustainable for us. In fact, we've lost a fair bit of money making this module available to the ZC community!

We're sorry that it has come to this stage but we have suspended downloads of the module as we consider our future direction regarding this matter.

We've recently been made aware that some other developers charge for downloading their payment modules. Given that anyone who uses Protx must be in some way serious about their store we are considering going in that direction also.

The few people who have donated (some of whom have done so twice and almost swelled the total number of donations to double digits - thanks for that! ;) ) are of course entitled to free upgrades and are the recipients of our most sincere thanks!

When we've made a decision about the new licensing situation for our Protx modules we'll of course let everyone here know.

All the best...

Hi Conor,

I already have my badge but count me in.

Great module, great support and I'm happy to put my hand in my pocket again.

Kind regards

Hi, Conor

I support you charge for mod. I know the difficulty of programming and always appreciate such works. Anyone spend time to develop such useful mods deserves some rewards.

From user point of view, I rather buy licence of mod than free use it. because by paying for the licence, you will have time to develop or upgrade new mod in time, and support users. this is fair!

on the other hand, if it still as free as now, although we made some donates but becuase a lot of other users have not donated, this is no fair.

Pay to use, this is the only way forward and fair!

Count me in, like Brent, I will surely buy your mods. your mods are always work great!

thank you!

Hi,

Brent and doubletiger, I'm not surprised that you two posted, you have been so very generous with your time and donations!

You two are of course entitled to free upgrades!


We've decided that there will be a charge for a full-featured version of the module in future.


It's not the way we'd wanted to go, we wanted to keep this open source, but when hundreds of people download and almost no-one donates (or even sends thanks), your motivation to spend even more of your free time on a project dissipates somewhat.

A basic version (minus 3D Secure support, so no Maestro support) will be made available for free for those who'd like to try the module before putting their hands in their pockets. It will of course be unsupported though.

I'll post here again when the new version (2.4) is available with 3D Secure support. At the same time we'll release the cut-down basic version.

All the best...
