How to notify the User that a payment is due

[suresh_nsnguys]

Hi guys,

i am having this logic regarding payment after usage functionality for my application in my mind.

when user login to my application , The popup windiow will be displayed with paypal button asking user to pay for last month usage with 2 button 'paynow' and 'Remind me' later.

when user click 'paynow' button,he will be redirected to paypal for making payment.when user click 'Remind me'.i will remind him when user login next time.

If there is no payment with in next 10 days.i will not allow user to login to site until he makes the payment.

I think this above logic will be not convienent to users and it will create some problem between user and website relationship.

i planned to use paypal invoice to users.so user can click the link in the mail and make the payment.

(i don't know which way to proceed , sending paypal invoice or pop up window each time user logins).

I want to implement in more flexible way and convienent to users.I think you guys are having lot of experience in web domain field.so please give me some suggesstion regarding my issue.

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles contain phrases such as 'functionality issue' actually get FEWER responses?).

Heya, A.suresh.

With regards to sending an email invoice vs. notifying the User when he logs in: You could implement a preference for this (include in the User's Account Settings page).

Pop-ups are extremely annoying, and you'll probably find that the number of payments you receive will go DOWN if you do it that way. Instead, I would recommend putting something like "Your account is about to expire! Renew" in the header (with a link to PayPal to renew the account.
