Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this package without *ezPayPal*?
Not in the current form. A future version that can work independently of ezPayPal will be released soon.
Why would I want to charge my users for support?
Not to get rich, for sure! In my case, I have a few popuplar plugins and packages out there on the net. My users kept sending me emails with questions that are clearly answered in the FAQ, documentation etc. When I got tired of cutting and pasting the FAQ answers, I decided to charge them a small amount ($0.95) per question. In fact, I didn't really charge them, I just told them that I would. And, to my surprise, my support load went down by over 90%! I wanted to use a support ticket system, but was worried that it would swamp me with frivilous tickets. A subscription model made sense in my case. Besides, it will certainly cut down on spam.
Why do the email messages from ezSubscribe end up in Spam/Junk mail boxes?
Depending on how your PHP installation is configured, your emails may
look like spam to some of the mail sentinel out there. The safest way to
overcome this is to set up SMTP for outgoing mail. Logon to your
ezSubscribe Admin panel (<your ezSubscribe
site>/scp/admin.php) and click on the Emails tab. Click on the
"Subscribe" email (typically support@yoursite.com) and enter
the values in the "SMTP Settings (Optional)" and section. You
will also need to enter your login info in the "Login info
(optional)" subsection.
