Drupal site with PayPal subscription payments
PED - October 29, 2008 - 15:22
I'm working on a site that will run on a payed yearly subscription for members. I've done a lot of searching around and have found references to modules that integrate with Paypal. e.g. Simple Paypal Framework (http://drupal.org/project/simple_paypal) but have also been advised to use Ubercart (http://drupal.org/project/ubercart) which has functionality for Subscription payments. I've checked the Ubercart method and it appears to work though I haven't fully checked through the management of recurring fees - Is that better handled in Drupal or Paypal?
If anyone has worked through something similar I'd appreciate some advice on the best solution. Ubercart seems to be overkill in this situation.

ubercart is good (or even great..) BUT may be overkill ..
so,....u have to make judgment based on your real case by yourself.
Good luck ..
