I do have a few questions regarding the user-payment system in Links-SQL:
1)
Actually a user who submits a link to my directory is able to have his link displayed in more than ONE category by simply click on CTRL and select several categories.
If I understand correctly, the payment is made for a link no matter in how many categories it appears.
2)
But if a user submits for example three DIFFERENT links to the system, I could give him a discount:
>> Discounts can also be created, giving users reduced costs on listings after they have listed a set number of links ("buy two, get the third 50% off") <<
In which given timeframe needs the user to submit these three links ? Does he need to submit three links within one payment-process ? What if he submits three links within one day or within one week ? Will he also get the discount if submitted within one week ?
3)
How to understand this:
>> Additionally, you have the option to customize payment options right down to the per-category level, or simply choose to use the same payment options for all categories. <<
Where can I set this up ?
Is it possible to set different costs for different categories ? So "category1" costs USD 1.0 per month and "category2" costs USD 5.0 per month ?
4)
- if I setup my Links SQL installation to always require payments for links, how will links be sorted ? by alphabet or date of link submitted or rating ?
- how will paid links be sorted if "optionally accept payments (paid links show up above free links)" ?
is there a possibility to manually sort them ? what is the best sort-method to use ?
Please explain. Thanks in advance
