Installment Plan Payment Module [Support thread]

**helpme** · 31 Mar 2008, 03:24 PM

I have been using this with my current site with no problem at all, thanks for the great mod!!!

Now I am upgrading to 1.3.8a and when I installed this mod everything looks fine, but the option is not available at checkout! I have unistalled-reinstalled and checked all of my settings.
Any idea? I am using fast and easy checkout, don't know if that would make a difference (but it works with 1.3.7 with FEC)
Thanks!

This is exactly what I am looking for, any plans to update for v1.3.8?

**swguy** · 24 Apr 2008, 02:29 AM

It will work fine with 1.3.8.

Excellent, going to get it now...the other question asked in a previous post, does it work with PayPal now?

**cutterscreek** · 24 Apr 2008, 03:38 AM

My site has a shared SSL certificate available, I know how to enable the SSL but I don't totally understand how it works. Is this needed if using Paypal for credit card payments?

This module works with manual credit card processing. It's not a way to automate recurring paypal payments; it's just a way to securely pass back the customer's credit card info for manual processing that is broken down over time.

I have updated the help to clearly state this.

Thank you for your reply and update.

I understand it does not do recurring billing. It does give the customer an option for installment payments. Is there a way to setup this option without having to get a credit card? We would continue to invoice directly from Paypal for the installment amount but would it still allow the customer to order directly from the shopping cart instead which is bypassed currently?

I am having the same problem as helpme is having... upgrade to 1.38 and the Installment mod no longer shows at checkout what are we missing .... I am sure it is somthing simple as SW says it does work with 1.38

also the istallment "indicator" light at the module setup in admin is yellow and not green or red when installed

If it's yellow, take a look at the zone settings for the module. Have you set it to only run in certain zones?

If you modified the software to make it work this way, then yes, it would work this way.

Another option would be to modify the invoice contribution to work this way.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no pre-existing contributions that do exactly what you want. You'll have to write some code or hire someone to do it for you.
