Hello there!
I am on the edge of buying IP Board, but can unfortunately not continue the purchase right now thus decided to instead ask something and decide after if ill go through with it if I can.

Is there any support of IPB for Google+ or planned? As in, +1 button and perhaps (later on) support for it's API and Google CheckOut?

And a little thing on the side, why does IPB refuse to support Paypal payments paid from the bank? Or Google CheckOut? It's incredibly annoying as I have no (and will not have, any time soon) credit card.

So basically now it is 3 more days waiting until funds get accepted by Paypal (while I dont even have them on my bank any more... How it takes this long, I do not know, as my bank does instant transfers, already waited 2 days). And then praying IPB will accept it and it has a use...
Great software, but why not a few additional options? Mobile payments,  Google Checkouts, Paypal Instant, Pay by Wire.... Perhaps gift cards...

Google+ will be included in the release of 3.2, however google checkout is still not an option, from what I have seen posted by staff they have decided to only stick with paypal for checkout at this time.

There's a difference between Google+ and Google +1 too. +1 is that social sharing button, but Google+ is their new social networking site. Just putting it out there

He mentioned google +1 button specifically.... not sure why you thought your comment was needed?  It was pretty clear.

Yeah, I see them as seperate products but have a unified wish for them.


That's a shame, Google Check Out is becoming an increasingly more attractive option, with Google Wallet launching and the Android Market gaining traction, it'd have been nice to have it.

NFC is far from common place... check back in a year or two.... and it has no merit with online sites either... but google checkout would be nice to have support for.

To the OP, a tip I found out. When you have your bank account on your Paypal, you can only do eChecks, UNLESS you have a credit card on file. I found out that you can buy a 25$ Visa card (with internet logs of your purchases, so you can verify it) and put it on your Paypal, this will then allow to have instant bank transfer just as if it was done with a credit card.

Francis, the problem is in the Netherlands credit cards generally require a subscription with a bank, something I am not to keen on.

Edit: I have found this site named EntroPay, which may just form a solution.

OP, I am Dutch, and I was able to use a bank wire to complete my initial purchase. Just create a support ticket for the sales department and they will generate an invoice for you. In addition they will provide you with the necessary details to complete your transaction..

He did specifically say "Google+" just before saying the "+1" button. Not sure how the two relate, but I know that Google+ is another attempt of Google's as social networking. If they don't relate at all, the naming is confusing.
