Is possibly pay a bill with a credit card?

something like that

You put a code to purchase them put your credit card number and confirms the purchase

That’s a tricky question.

Corona SDK supports a full range of TCP/IP protocol support, so if you have a server that can take requests, accept credit card information so you should be able to talk to any web server out there that you have legal access too.

But if you’re trying to do things like subscriptions, app type purchases and stuff I’m certain that Apple will squash it since they want to manage the business transactions. Apple does clearly allow credit card processing applications like Square Up, so at least somethings they are cool with.

Corona SDK doesn’t have any ties to merchant accounts, or api’s already rolled up to make credit cards transactions super simple. But between using network.request to do REST and SOAP type API calls, submit to HTML forms and such, its doable.

So I have an web server that I can manage

my idea is… you go to a club and there you receive a card to buy stuff like drinks. When you want to leave, you need to pay what you bought and for dont need to wait you can pay your card with this app

So i guess that apple don’t will block me

I just don’t know what I need to do this requests

did you know where can I find what is needed to do payments through mobile?

I have my reservations on what Apple will allow.

Ansca helps us do what we want, but Apple wants to have a finger in every pie. So not sure if Apple will allow you to bypass their system and charge.

cheers,

If you already have a web server for processing payments, you might also consider making a mobile-friendly backend and just display the payment portion via web popup. [import]uid: 52430 topic_id: 17468 reply_id: 66373[/import]

Sorry but I don’t know how to do this
let’s go by steps ok?
I have a web server that I can edit and do whatever I want

now… to implement this banking acess, what I need to do?
Sorry for the newbie questions [import]uid: 23063 topic_id: 17468 reply_id: 66376[/import]

have a look at this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_gateway [import]uid: 12482 topic_id: 17468 reply_id: 66383[/import]

there is a open code for do this connection between web server and banking accounts that I can use? or maybe paid for that code that enable this connection?

@Dhennrich, do you have a merchant account? Are you processing credit card payments now, just not on the iPhone?

If you do not, you have a lot to accomplish before you can even begin thinking about coding a mobile app. Each payment processor will have their own protocols to work with.

You might want to google “Square Up” and get their app, if you just need to take credit card payments on your mobile device. There is no tie in to a back end, you swipe cards, or hand enter information, they do all the credit card work and you get money in your account. They DO NOT have a public facing API that I’m aware of to write your own apps!

You might also want to investigate paypal as an option. They do have publicly facing API so you could roll your own app with Paypal. But again, you’ve got to do a lot of research and learning about their protocols before you can start figuring out the Corona side of things.
