looking for an alternative to KAGI, because KAGI ceased operations

Tue Aug 2 10:41:11 EDT 2016

Folks,
I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to just set up a payment web page that you interact with in the browser widget. Then you could, for instance, for PayPal, just use their easy payment button to get paid. There would need to be https communication, probably with some kind of encrypted key for validation, probably. 

Just thinking.

Best,
Bill
