How to Build a Chat Website and Charge Membership

1. Build your site as you would normally using HTML or another programming language. You can even just create a very simple HTML page with simple code and little content like 'Welcome to Our Chat Room' for the moment (see References for a simple example).
2. Find a chat services provider, like ChattersOnline.com or ParaChat.com. Check with your web hosting company first because it may also offer you this feature free. Install the script on your homepage by simply copying and pasting the code into your HTML homepage file.
3. Sign up for an account with a membership services site like AuthPro.com, SentryLogin.com or CoffeeCup.com (see Resources). These services offer convenient, easy-to-use online software to password-protect your site, request payment from visitors and manage your users.
4. Fill out information about your site, including the entry URL that people will see when they log in (the chat room landing page from Step 1) and your decision to require payment from customers. The membership services provider will save your settings and give you a link to your registration and login page.
5. Select the option to enable payment processing on your membership services account. This will allow you to configure the service to work with PayPal to accept payments. Set the subscription terms, including the price, and whether this will be a regular subscription or a one-time payment.
6. Sign up for a business PayPal account (see Resources). Click 'Profile' on your dashboard, then 'Instant Payment Notification' (also called IPN). Click 'Edit IPN' and then enter the payment notification URL that was given to you by your membership services provider.
7. Retrieve your PayPal button from the configuration area of your membership services account and add it to your website where visitors can pay and register for your chat site. (You can also create and use your own button image called 'Register to Chat Now' to make the action clearer for your visitors.) When someone clicks that link, he will automatically be sent to your PayPal payment page.
8. Set your registration page, which your membership services provider will give you, as the URL where the user will go after she successfully completes payment. With some services, the username and password will be generated automatically, so you can just link the person directly to the login page. Your settings in Step 4 should send the user directly to the chat landing page after she has logged in.
9. Paste the password protection code, which your membership services provider will give you, into the header area of your chat landing page so that only paid users who have logged in can access it.
10. Create another link or button titled 'Chat Now' in your image design program for people who have already registered previously. Post it on your homepage. When a user clicks your 'Chat Now' button, it should take him to your login page.

5. Paste the code where you want it to display on your forum page, then save. Refresh your forum to make sure it displays properly, and make any changes you need.

For example, placing the code between <center></center> tags will put it in the horizontal middle of your forum.

What Does quot;Payment Expiredquot; in PayPal Mean?

Payment Status Location
When you are signed into PayPal, you can view the status of your payment under the 'Payment Status' heading in the table. Each payment entry in the table contains the date, type, amount, name and the status. The status is to the right of the name. You can also view the status by clicking 'Details' to view more information about that transaction.
Glossary
To understand what each status means, PayPal provides a link to a 'Payment Status Glossary.' To view the glossary, log into PayPal and view your history. At the top-right side of the table is a link that says 'Payment status glossary.' Click this and scroll through the pop-up to research the status. If your status reads as 'Expired,' the glossary lists this as due to an expired transaction.
Why Expired?
If you're seeing 'Expired' as the payment status, this may mean the order you've placed has not gone through. At some point, the transaction expired during the process and the order and payment was not completed. This may occur if the seller put a temporary hold or authorization in order to take their money at a later point, and then never completed the money retrieval.
Remedy
Contact the seller to determine how to remedy the situation and complete your purchase. Be sure to let the seller know your PayPal payment status is reading as 'Expired' and inform them if you wish to complete or cancel your transaction.
