How many programming hours for a CCBill integration?
 

Roughly how long does it take for a good programmer to do a CCBill integration having never done one before? For a new site, new customer db.

Depends, but generally it goes fast.

Ccbill will also do it.... for free.

It's very tough to say because it all depends on the site. If it's a simple /members/ directory then ccbill does the install for you. If it's a custom script that you are upgrading users on or create users on then the postback script needs to be adapted to that script. Anywhere from 5 minutes to a couple of days if it's a very complex system that has to track all the sales on your script's end.

ccbill does it. its often quick.

Hey, I sent you an email about some reviews. Let me know if you didn't receive it. Thanks!

I believe that most CC processors only do basic setup/configuration (user database in a htpasswd file). Custom integration with ccbill (JPost) is really easy and it shouldn't take long becase you just need to implement 4 functions (addUser(), removeUser(), updateUser(), userExists).

If you need a secure authentication script you might be interested in SiteDefensor (installation and integration with ccbill is included in price).
