Payments for Data Fields

I've always offered my data fields for free. But someone wanted me to create a field for them. And wants to charge for it.

Is there a HOW-TO guide on how to implement this? Potential users are global if that matters.

Also, I'm thinking it is easiest to publish the field from my store page. But I would want payments to be sent directly to the guy who commissioned the data field. I assume that is also possible.

This must be pretty straightforward since many CIQ apps are fee based - just have never done it.

Thanks!

  • I would advise against using your account. I'd use a new account created just for this project and also use a newly created developer key. This way, although a bit more troublesome when you upload changes, you'll also be able to give them the password if they'll want to change the description or pass it on to another developer in the future. And also of you'll ever want to have a pro version of any of your free apps (just for users to appreciate your efforts) you won't have even more inconvenience because your merchant account is tied to someone else.
