class registration..

Hi,

Before you say this is spam. Its not as this does not even exist yet. I could not think of somewhere to do a bit of research but then thought of here.

Basically I am thinking of writing an on-line application for handling class registration. The user will register and be able to pay on-line via paypal (so also credit/debit cards), so no cheques or anything would need be sent via post. It would also remind the user a week or so before membership runs out and with a click of a button they would be able to renew it.. My friend also suggested maybe a similar working function for registering for events.. This could possibly integrated into a class forum as well.

Would there be demand for this? And would classes pay for this, and if so what price? (I am not thinking anything high..).

Your help would be much appreciated,

Thanks

John

I believe it is a good idea too. Surely if you pay online the funds are there almoust instantly anyway.

We pay for our club fees via cheque which is one reason I still have a cheque book. I would prefer to pay online then at least I can have a payment refrence too.

I didn't think of clubs, yes this would be easily possible and would only be minor alterations to a class version. (adding boat parking fees and water fees)

Yes paypal instant, as soon as the form is filled and the user is taken to paypal, they put their details in click go and its paid, and will confirm it instantly with the site it came from, so membership would be instant.

The Fireball class allow you to set up a standing order, so your membership automatically renews every January.

The reminder would be similar to a standing order, but just requires confirmation.

The only cost for this would be a one off purchase of the program, which like I said I am not thinking much (any ideas on the kind of price you think clubs would pay?), which would include updates.

Yes there are the paypal fees, but it would make life a lot easier. I could look into direct payment instead if this is popular (no paypal fees) and include this (possibly as an alternative, so you can switch between the two).
