I have recently advanced on my previous PayPal Fees Calculator by porting it to Windows 8. I have to say that Windows 8 is considerably more complex to code for than previous versions of Windows and this is because of the new XAML interface. Having said that, though, you get to work with an amazing UI and there’s so much you can do; all you need to know is “how” to do it. The new PayPal Fees Calculator for Windows 8 also has a new feature edition where users can choose from a selection of predefined PayPal fee rates via a dropdown box. We support a handful of countries including the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States (and more). If your country isn’t listed then do not fear…you can still manually enter your fee rates (or you can contact us and we’ll consider adding your country to the list).
There is no download link for this app as it’s not available for download until Microsoft approve and certify it for distribution on the App Store. I submitted the finished work last night and it’s currently pending approval and certification by Microsoft. However, you can check out a screenshot of the finished work below. As you can probably see it’s a vast improvement, both graphically and feature-wise to my previous PayPal Fees Calculator. One of the other feature additions I’ve included is a validation tool that prevents users from entering invalid characters (such as more than one decimal point, or letters) into the textbox. After all, you cannot calculate letters (and people do make typos occasionally, by accident!). So do not worry about making typos as I spent hours last night figuring out the coding required to prevent such typos from posing an issue to the program’s functionality.
UPDATE: The app has now been published on the Windows App Store.
It is available to download if you live in one of the following countries/regions:
United Kingdom, Europe (EU), France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
