Paypal Subscription with Initial Payment - asp.net

I am working with a customer to setup a paypal button to allow them to charge a customer an initial setup fee and then a monthly subscription. I am rather new to this, so I am looking for the best way to do this as I didn't see anything that seemed to stick out in the documentation on developer.paypal.com for this scenario. Do I use the restful api or classic api? The site is built in .Net, so if you also have any information to this as well, that would be appreciated. Now I am not looking for code, but just a nudge in the right direction so I can find out all the information I need to do this right. Thanks.

You can use a Payments Standard Subscription button for this. They're pretty simple to create and add to the site. They can be created through a PayPal account or from your own custom HTML form.
The PayPal button code is just a an HTML form so you shouldn't have a problem adding it to your customer's site. Here are some details on Subscription buttons:

I wouldn't recommend using an API but if you want to learn more about them you can look around on Developer.PayPal.com

How to create a timed quiz in google form

I use Google Classroom for my chess club and send out quizzes using Google form. I am trying to find out if it is possible to set up some sort of timer in Google Forms right now. All the answers I can find using google are pretty outdated.
Here's a blog you can check and try for the implementation on How to Schedule your Google Forms and Limit Submissions. Afterwards, you can just add as a material and attach the link using Google Classroom API.
You can use Timify.me add-ons. It's easy to use and looks good as well.
Pros:
- timmer shows on the top of the page
- triggers the form to close upon timeout
Cons:
- only paid version allows you to set logo, text, design and webcam tracking
- You can't customize the time countdown section-wise, countdown as a whole submission
note: you need to configure timify.me with a token from timify.me web app

Acces to LinkedIn API for Apply Now button

I'm trying to add an 'Apply by LinkedIn' button to my website. I realise the plugin was deprecatad and am trying to use the JS SDK to create this. What I currently have in place (as documented here) will allow me to sign in to my account, however, the documentation doesn't go any further. How is the user to apply for a specific position, should this be referenced in the url somewhere?
Also, I've submitted the application to access the API but have heard nothing back after 9 days.
Any feedback appreciated,
Thanks :)

Issue Tracking Widget Suggestion

Can you suggest a very very simple issue tracking widget. UserVoice, is a little too involved for us with their forums and what not. What we want is something that just allows people to send us an issue or note and grabs a URL.
If by widget you mean something that you can embed on your page that will allow visitors to leave feedback/issues, there are javascript plugins, like feedback_me that will allow posting feedback to a backend provided by you.
If your are not comfortable with supplying a backend of your own, there are of course countless products that will do basic stuff for you and more. This is list by no means complete, but it's a start:
Usersnap
Trackduck
Marker
Userback
Bugmuncher
Doorbell
Hava a look at userrules.com
It allows you to integrate to your internal Issue Tracking system (JIRA, BugZilla, Redmine, Basecamp etc.). Any feedback from your customers come, you can directly export it to ur external system. And it will keep track of its progress for you.
Liked, what they have done with their UI, plus you can add your own customizable fields to ask some specific info from your customers in the feedback widget.
Getsatisfaction? BitBucket? Github? Google Code? All have issue trackers and, except for that last one, allow you to keep your code private, but your issues public.

How to integrate shopping cart system for flash application

I've built a simple flash application that takes a user's photo/image, offers various effects and filters to play with. In the end, the application can write-out the resulting image to a PDF print file (to be purchased and sent to a printer).
Currently I'm using PHP to template the web pages, with the Flash app embedded in the body of one of the pages.
I now need to integrate a shopping cart and check-out system, the idea being that the user can play with images, add various images to a shopping cart, at some point choose print sizes for each image, check-out and purchase etc. My app would attached the necessary print files, and email/submit the order to the printer.
In researching the various cart systems out there like Zen-cart, Magento, osCommerce, etc.. these all seem to be full featured CMS systems, full websites, that you deploy, customize and skin, add products to etc... a "canned store". But in my case, I'm adding/creating the product at run-time. It's not a traditional store where you browse and select items.
At first glance its not clear to me how I would use one of these systems, how to integrate with my Flash app.... it seems I only want to make use of the shopping cart, customer database portion, payment transaction features.
Is it possible to use one of these, using only the checkout and order management through a API? called from my Flash app? or processed via back-end PHP? Any suggestions, pointers?
I'm looking for some guidance, someone to point me in the right direction. I'm a noob to eCommerce.
Thank you!
I would just use PayPal Website Payments Standard, and have "Buy Now" buttons, or an "Add to Cart" button, which just adds the cost of each image to an array as your customers create the images. Then just set the appropriate PayPal Standard HTML variables and submit a form to PayPal. Then your customer would pay for the things on PayPal.
I'm building an eCommerce system with Flex and Rails right now (using Spree), and I can tell you it's a pretty decent undertaking. If you don't need to calculate shipping costs or taxes based on where the person lives, and you don't need to be able to have thousands of products, I'd just skip the whole eCommerce thing and use PayPal (it's free). That's what PeepCode does for example (they're a site I use to buy tutorial videos for Rails and such), you just say "add to cart", and it takes me to PayPal and I do my thing. Way easier, way less overhead. It sounds like you could do that.
If you really want to use a full featured eCommerce system, you can definitely connect to them through HTTP requests to get/post data, but that will be a long-term undertaking.
Hope that helps,
Lance
