Installment Plan Payment Module [Support thread]

**Rabbcon** · 27 Aug 2007, 06:51 PM

Hi Guys,

I have a question to see whether anyone has done this before.

I want to only give customer options to pay installment i if they buy a products from a certain category.

So pretty much how do I go through the cart before payment to see if customer has added a product from a certain category.

Has anyone done this before.

I am running zencart 1.3.7

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi SW GUY! I love this mod. My client does, too, but now she tells me she wants a way for this to be used only for purchases of a certain amount or higher. I don't understand how to make this happen...or do you mean you can build it in?

thanks,

Hi Scott,

I, too, am interested in modifying this very useful mod to set a minimum order and limit by category.

You mentioned waiting to see about changes made in the admin before possibly adding the changes that beasleybub suggested, but how far away is 1.6 anyway???

I am sure that everyone that uses this mod would appreciate thos additional admin features. I for one would happily donate to make this a reality, this mod will be a sizeable part of our payments since we sell a lot of high-dollar items to mainly starving artists.

Thanks!

Matt

Re: beasleybub's requests: this is just a payment module. It's not an accounts receivable system. If you need a tracking tool, start with a spreadsheet and build up from there.

Re: your requests: if you have specific needs for customizations for your shop, you are welcome to PM me for a quote or post your request in the Commercial Help Wanted area.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi swguy (waving to you from the spacecoast),

Do you think this mod could be used for a site that only requires a deposit on their items?

It's a travel site that you can either pay for the whole trip up front or put down a deposit and pay the rest upon arrival. It's been making me nuts as to how to deal with this.

thank you,

You could do this.

Another approach, depending on what payment modules you use, would be to simply modify the payment module to take (say) 25% of the actual amount.

Good luck,
Scott

Problem I could see with that would be if they wanted to pay in full.

Plus one thing I'm figuring your mod could help with I didn't mention in my previous post is that there is no zencart payment mod for the sites credit card processor, so by using your mod, the deposits at least would not have to go through Paypal.

thank you,

Gotcha. Yet another approach would be to use the Invoice module, and then invoice them for either 100% or 25% of the total using Google Checkout (stand-alone).

Good luck,
Scott
