VBulletin - CCBill - Paid Memberships

[FourTwenty]

on my paid membership website, there are two logins...
one free area where people register through vbulletin...
then when they join and pay by credit card, they get issued a second username and password for the password protected area of the site, by ccbill... (http://www.ccbill.com)

my members cancel all of the time because it is too confusing having two different sets of usernames and passwords for the site...

ccbill and vbulletin now have methods of utilizing just one for both...
as far as i know, there are currently two options available.

can someone explain to me what the difference is between the two?

thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting vBulletin Support.

Customizing vBulletin like this falls outside of the default vBulletin support, you're best of asking these questions on vBulletin.org, the official sister site for customers shared resources.

That said, you have to either update vBulletin to integrate with ccbill, or the other way around. We do not have an official module to do this. If ccbill has a vbulletin module to integrate, I recommend to use that.

vBulletin has a feature called 'paid subscriptions', which does support ccbill: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/subscriptions

We also offer data managers, so you could write a plugin perhaps to trigger an account creation on ccbill using the info from their forum account. We also have an APi for development purposes. http://members.vbulletin.com/api and http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/data_managers

All the best,
