Request Money Feature
Arden › All I really need is a little good news May 5th, 2021 6:10:43pm 798 Posts |
I was thinking how cool would it be to have a request money feature? It could be a helpful reminder for payment. I know I myself sometimes forget to pay for something and then I'm like well heck, poor person should be able to request payment like we can on Venmo lmao. Any thoughts? |

Kyuubi, its more of the person can request money (like make invoice per say) to send to the buyer so they remember to pay it when they look in their messages not really the "I cant remembered if I paid or not" situation. If that made sense lol. I like it because if you sell things online like tack off facebook you send a invoice to the buyer to pay. Pretty much I like the idea of being able to send invoices like you can on paypal! - Coming from a graphic designer side. |

Programming-wise, it might take some fudging. My guess is the best we could do for now would be submitting a form from the person requesting money to HP that includes the ID of the player who needs to pay, the amount of HPD or HPB, and the ID of the person requesting. Can also include a brief "summary" or description of why the payment is being requested. When HP gets the form, it sends an auto message to the player who needs to pay. Here's where it gets tricky. Ideally, the message would include a link that sends the paying player to their bank where the payment information has already been input, and all they need to do is enter their security answer and hit Send. But I'm not too familiar with how we'd be able to create a custom link to a page with auto-filled data. The easier option would be just including a link in the message that sends the player to their bank. The message would also include the amount needed to be paid and the ID it needs to be sent to, but the player would need to fill that in themselves in their bank. It's not a fully auto solution, not as clean as I'm sure we'd like. But probably more doable. It's essentially an official reminder message though, so I'm not sure if it would be worth it to add that whole system into the bank when you can just send that reminder message yourself. Unless we use it as a "placeholder" while we figure out how to do the "higher tech" system lmao. |

Mango, hurry up and learn php/MySql and then you can work on this ;P Also...again, not shooting this down as an idea for someday (-coughWHEN MANGO LEARNS TO PROGRAMcough-), but if you're filling out an entire form, isn't it just easier to message the person who owes you money and give them a poke? |

I think the easier route is best. Also MYSQL and PHP is hard lol |

I like Mango's easy version! If that's something that could also easily be coded. |
