Review simple paypal checkout flow [on hold]
I have a website where users can place classified ads similar to craigslist. Now I try different ways to monetize the usage. I have added paypal payments for two functions: (1) Pay to include a video with your advertisement that can be in mp4 or ogv format (2) Pay to display your advertisement among "trending ads" on the frontpage.
I recently deployed a mechanism trying to make users pay for the above new functionality. The flow is according to the following:
- User clicks "advertise here"
- User fills out form for placing an ad
- User agrees to terms and clicks "Display my ad among trending ads"
- User is directed to a preview page where he can preview his advertisement and press the paypal checkout button and pay. When it is paid a confirmation js alert is displayed and the paypal checkout button disappears and the "place ad" button appears.
Or, if user uploads a video instead of images, the preview page will also include the paypal checkout button.
Is the above strategy the best I can do or should I charge for some other function or do it any other way?
