I built a billing app to solve this issue. I'm a native Force.com ISV and I have an app subscription to sell. Like your request I made sure I took advantage of the LMA.

Albert,

           This is not related to  integrating a third party billing system with force.com. My question we want sell our AppExchange application .Here we are using LMA application to capture the leads and we are selling the application form ours website and we taking help of a third party billing engine to bill the application here we are struck. It is only possible to control the time period of the application using LMA right know upto how to setup free trial and control it.But i want if  used a third party billing engine(Not Google Checkout) how I can control and handle the billing scenario.

aalbertaalbert
The third party billing engine can use the Force.com API to update the License record associated to your Lead in LMA - to revoke or grant access to the application.

Thanks. we have any documentation in wiki it will help me.and how we can configure trail and paid version in AppExchange.

Are you looking for information on the API? Or LMA? Or Appexchange listings? 

 

You can setup a default license setting in your Appexchange listing. That is the default License settings that your prospects will get when the app is installed. Then you can control that License directly from the LMA. And if you want the billing system to manage that, it can use the API to update the proper License__c record in LMA.

I looking for all these 3 components .I know how to work with that components Only I have some doungts with working together to all these 3+1=4 components any ISV need this steps.

2.I configured my application in AppExchange with latest package URL.--->AppExchange

3.We interface using php .it is an interface for billing engine. ---------->Billing

4.

 

In my application am redirect  lead from appexchange using learn more . In page I am keeping two buttons one Trail another one Paid  and calling same package URL.
