Jim marked one of Nathaniel Talbott's replies in Spreedly as useful. Nathaniel Talbott replied to the question "Can you change a PayPal subscription amount?".

Jim replied on July 28, 2009 22:33 to the question "Can you change a PayPal subscription amount?" in Spreedly:

I had assumed that recurring payments were supported with PayPal, but there it is on the gateway page (https://spreedly.com/info/payment-gat...).

It appears that this limitation is in Spreedly and not PayPal. Is that correct? The PayPal site for Express Checkout says that it *does* support recurring payments. (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr... and https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr... )

If this is a Spreedly limitation, do you have plans and a timeline for implementing this? Express Checkout is currently the lowest (financial) barrier to entry for using Spreedly.

Ditto. I just grabbed a Kickstart.

Jim asked a question in Spreedly on July 21, 2009 13:07:

Are there sample apps which show the full api integration code?

Spreedly has some nice advantages over something like RailsKits. Access to a sample application would probably help with the uptake, at least from my perspective :-)

a la carte add-ons

Any plans to support a la carte purchasing?
I may have a base plan, but allow customers to purchase multiple add-ons that are not a part of tiers of service. So a customer could purchase the base plan (subscription fee) and option A, C and D, but not B (additional subscription fees)

This is different from one time purchasing mentioned in other feedback.

editing/creating times needs clearer interface

clicking to edit a time entry makes a non-obvious change to the form.

I discovered that problem after I was "editing" a time from earlier when I did not stop the timer. That's in quotes because I was creating, not editing... and I thought you had a bug in the starts at time display. After I hit save, I saw the 2 entries when I should have had 1 and realized my "save" wasn't an edit, it was a create.
