+1 I've been thinking about requesting this myself. It would be easier for me to donate this way.

 

The developer of this app has been gone for a while now. LCPrecords
Also, this would never happen. iTunes takes a percentage of the money spent on everything, so instead of $10 on a giftcard andrew would make only like $8 or something like that. It may not seem like much, but it adds up. Quick. Just get a paypal account.

 

so does paypal

 

paypal takes 3.9% + $0.30, apple takes 30%.

 

Just stating that it does take some

 

You don't loose money in any case. Don't be bored and open your computer. By using paypal instead of itunes andrew gets more money to run the server without you paying extra. This won't be implemented just because of the percentages that andrew looses if he uses the itunes store.

i.e. For each giftcard you buy using paypal, andrew gets 9.31 USD.(0.69 USD loss)
For each giftcard you would buy using the itunes store, andrew would get 7 USD (3 USD loss)

Thank you kukelekuuk00 for the information.

 

true apple would take 30%, i did debate on using the paypal sdk, since dcc was using paypal anyways, and link that to andrews paypal so it go direct to him.

 

What is the paypal sdk?

 

sdk = software development kit

 

I have found that there is a very easy way to do this,
I might have this in another app, or combined with the voter app.
I'll talk to andrew soon about it.

 

Are you talking about the paypal ask or going through iTunes.

 

Using the Webview model in android
I plan to use the paypal sdk in the ios app, although it may not work the way I want.

 

If the problem is Andrew loosing money is there anyway around that? Say raising the price of donations only on the app? Or, is there a way to directly link his paypal account?

 

I mean that it would be too much pain listing every donation feature, and it would have to be updated with every sale andrew does.
I think I will be going the webview way.

 

Would you mind elaborating on what webview is exactly?

 

In app web browser
I have decided it IS how I am going to be doing this.

 

So would this accept things like itunes gift cards? Or will it just be a link to our buycraft page?

 

It would be the buycraft page, just in the app

 

It would be like this: http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/pages/ECCShop/. A little thing like that. Basically a web-browser prospective in a app. Just like the voting app does. It brings up the web-browser view.
