Hey all,

The scenario: Using D6.16, UC and Affiliate2. Salespersons get commissions when people make UC purchases. I want to be able to use Paypal mass payments to pay them their commissions.

Sounds simple, however haven't managed to find anything that does what I want.
My best guess for how it could be done simply would be to create a "payout" action for VBO, - maybe using Simple Paypal Framework or some such.

I'd do it myself however I'm flat out with other work, and this has a tight deadline.
Anyone up for writing a few functions? Boss has authorised me to pay to outsource (I'd assume up to $25-30/hr), and I'm fine with it being added to contributed modules, or patched into Affiliate2, or whatever.

I'll talk with the developer on if/how it can be contributed back to the community.

Hope all is well on your end. On mine, tight deadlines and my attention seeking child is driving me up the wall.:)

I'm also desparately in need of the Affiliate2/UC/Paypal Masspay solution via VBO or anyother means. I noticed you or your developer had it solved a while back. What does it take to get the module/code to your solution and can you please kindly link me up with your developer if that is what it takes to get this resolved on my end?

Best of Regards,

Clifton

I'm committing some resources to get this done - just wondering if anyone wanted to chip in to speed up the process. I will be posting the solution to the community.

Seems like a 2-step VBO based solution is the best:
1) select and export info as masspay csv
2) select and mark as paid

Did anyone ever finish this? I need this for a project I am working on right now. I'm not sure how much it would cost to develop this, but if it isn't too much, I'll pay for it and contribute it as a module.

EDIT: It appears the Ubercart Marketplace module includes code that works with PayPal Mass Pay. http://drupal.org/project/ubercart_marketplace

That may be a good start.
