Paypal Payment Pro and the Gateway API

I've been reading posts 6+ months old about Paypal Payments Pro integration with CB Subs. What is the latest news with this feature?

Alternatively, when will the API for payment gateways be available. It's the kind of thing I'd be willing to upgrade to 'Developer' for if it meant I got this feature sooner.

We have a quote ready for Paypal Pro support (which is quite a bit of work to develop and then support lifetime), but nobody has yet agreed to pay for what they ask. If you are ready to pay for it (4-digit figure), please use contact form for getting the quote (at bottom of each page "Contact").

All new gateways supported in CBSubs 1.3.0 RC are the result of customers who paid for what they asked for. We have many gateway requests, and there are hundreds of gateways (that can be implemented) worldwide, so we came up with this simple rule that we need to cover our development costs for new gateways support. Thanks for your understanding.

I take it there's no problem with any parties interested in this feature pooling together to make it happen? I'll start PMing previous posters to see if they're still in the market...

Beat,
I've just submitted a second contact form regarding this issue after getting no response to the first. If you can do anything to get this quote to me faster, it'd be appreciated.

I've still has no response to this contact inquiry. Beat or another admin, can you please chase this up?

I have noticed that this message is getting plenty of 'reads'. If anyone requires Paypal Pro facility on their site they should PM me so that we can agree on sharing costs. It is unlikely to happen unless we do this.

Andy

Hi Andy,

I have already replied you 2 days ago that I wanted to first release CBSubs 1.3.0 RC2, that was due and was anyway needed to start any new gateway.

As CBSubs 1.3.0 is now released, I have replied to your contact form ticket with our quote for a participation as customer to the effort of a professional implementation for Paypal Pro for CBSubs.

You are welcome to pool contributions to make this happen. We can manage pooling 2 customers (and halving the cost to each), but if there are more than 2, than you would need to do the pooling.

So yes, if people are interested to contribute substantially to a pool, please private-message Andy (lockr).

Please note that Paypal Pro is available only in selected countries (USA and UK) as far as I'm aware, and is not available worldwide. E.g. it is not available here in Switzerland. So in case of your help with the development costs, we would be developing and testing against Paypal's excellent and very complete sandbox, but can't use it ourselves in a productive environment here.
