Ceon Manual Card Payment Module v4

Hi,

This is the official support thread for Ceon Manual Card.

At the time of this posting the latest version is 4.0.1 but the latest version will always be available on the Ceon website and in the Zen Cart downloads area.


Module Features

This payment module has been written to be as comprehensive as possible (despite the limited nature of a payment module for manual card processing). The current feature list follows.

• Support for many Card Types
  
  • Each card type can be enabled or disabled at the click of a button inside the admin. Cards supported:
    
    • Visa
    • MasterCard
    • Maestro
    • Visa Debit
    • MasterCard Debit
    • American Express
    • Visa Electron (UKE)
    • Diners Club International
    • JCB
    • Laser
    • Discover
    
    
  • If you would like additional card types added please consult the FAQs.
  
  
• Can gather the following information:
  
  • Card Holder's Name
  • Card Type
  • Card Number
  • Expiry Date
  • CV2 Number
  • Start Date (Maestro/American Express)
  • Issue Number (Maestro)
  
  
• Option to Send Sensitive Card Data via E-mail
  
  • The CV2 number and middle digits of the card number can be sent in an e-mail to the store owner.
  • This means that the full details don't need to be stored on the server; not having the full card details in one central place is a much safer way to collect card details for manual/offline processing.
  • The rest of the details can be accessed at all times through the “Orders” section of the store's admin.
  
  
• Option to Store All Card Details [NEW for 4.0.0]
  
  • Instead of splitting up the card details, by sending the CV2 number and middle digits of the card number in an e-mail, the full card details can be stored and displayed at once, in their entirety, on the order's page.
  • Having the full card details in one central place is a less-safe way to collect card details for manual/offline processing but obviously more convenient for the store owner/admin staff.
  
  
• Surcharges/Discounts Support
  
  • In collaboration with another of our modules, the Ceon Payment Surcharges/Discounts Order Total module:
    
    • each Card Type can have an individual surcharge or discount rate specified which applies to all Order Values, or
    • each Card Type can even have a full range of surcharge/discount rates specified, so that differing Order Value ranges result in differing surcharge/discount rates being applied!
    
    
  • The rates for individual cards can even differ according to the country the billing address is in and/or the currency being used!
  • This all means that store owners can pass the cost of accepting certain card types onto their customers, or offer their customers discounts for using particular card types.
  • The Ceon Payment Surcharges/Discounts module can be downloaded for free from the Ceon website and is simple to use/integrate with stores!
  
  
• Visual Feedback of JavaScript Validation
  
  • In order to catch any problems with card details entered by the customer as quickly and easily as possible, this module will not only alert the customer to any incorrect information when they attempt to submit the form, it will actually highlight the form fields which require their attention.
  • This helps to minimise the number customers getting frustrated and leaving at the last hurdle!
  
  
• Icons for each Type of Credit/Debit Card Accepted
  
  • If this option is enabled in the admin, icons are displayed for each credit/debit card accepted (all are enabled in the screenshot to the right).
  • This looks very professional for the store!
  
  
• Cards Accepted Sidebox
  
  • A “Cards Accepted” sidebox also comes with the module, allowing the dynamic display of icons for each type of credit/debit card accepted by the store (all are enabled in the screenshot to the right).
  • This lets customers know what card types are accepted even before they've reached the checkout stage.
  
  
• Retains entered Card Details right throughout the checkout process
  
  • If the customer returns to the payment page (for example, to change their shipping address, or if they realise at the confirmation stage of the checkout procedure that they have entered some incorrect information), the card details they entered previously will be automatically restored!
  • This prevents any frustration with customers having to re-enter their details, something which unfortunately has to happen with most other payment modules.
  • In turn this feature helps to prevent customers leaving at the last hurdle!
  • An option is available to specify whether the details to be stored temporarily in the session should include the “sensitive” card details (Card Number and Card CV2 Number). If this option is enabled, these sensitive details are encrypted in the session using the Blowfish algorithm, to protect the confidentiality of the details as best as possible.
  
  
• Automatically selects itself as the current payment method when customer uses any field
  
  • Whenever the customer uses any of the Ceon Manual Card fields on the checkout payment page, the software automatically selects itself as the current payment method, saving customers time and frustration when they forget to select the payment method they are using.
  
  
• Button to Delete All Card Details [NEW for 4.0.0]
  
  • Once the card details have been used, the “Delete” functionality offered by this module can be used to remove them from the database.
  • Clearly this is good for data protection, as customers' details shouldn't be kept any longer than necessary (and not at all according to many merchant accounts' terms and conditions!).
  
  
• Quick and Easy Installation or Upgrading
  
  • Thanks to its automatic database creation functionality and automatic upgrade functionality, Ceon Manual Card is exceptionally easy to install or upgrade.
  
  
• Dynamic Start Date and Issue Number support
  
  • Certain cards (American Express) may need a Start Date to be supplied for authorisation to take place, while certain cards (Maestro) may need an Issue Number to be supplied.
  • Ceon Manual Card dynamically displays the necessary form gadgets to capture this information from the user, based on the card types enabled in the admin.
  
  
• Option to not even ask for a Start Date
  
  • Some stores don't need to collect the start date from their customers. For this reason there is an option to remove the start date fields altogether, so the customer is not asked for it.
  
  
• Support for cards without a CV2 Number
  
  • A small minority of cards have no CV2 number. If a customer has filled in all card details except for the CV2 number, they can be given the option to indicate that their card has no CV2 number.
  • This is totally automatic. The module can detect if a customer is trying to use a card without a CV2 number and will ask them to confirm if they have made a mistake, or to confirm that there is no CV2 number on their card. Otherwise they will be asked to correct their oversight.
  • This is necessary for Laser cards as many of them tend not to have CV2 numbers.
  
  
• Option to not even ask for a CV2 Number
  
  • Some stores don't need to collect the CV2 number from their customers. For this reason there is an option to remove the CV2 number field altogether, so the customer is not asked for the card's CV2 number.
  
  
• Ability to Disable Autocomplete
  
  • Some browsers store credit/debit card numbers and/or CV2 numbers entered in the form fields and then automatically insert them in the form fields when a user returns to a website.
  • This can be quite disconcerting to customers, so the option to have this browser feature disabled is offered (and set by default) by Ceon Manual Card.
  
  
• Start/Expiry Date Format Specification
  
  • The format of the text to be used for the Start/Expiry Date selection gadgets can be specified in the module's configuration.
  
  
• Debug Output Mode
  
  • Sometimes there can be problems with a store's settings. The debug mode allows you to see what information was to be sent, so you can check the settings. Most stores should never need this functionality though so it is disabled by default.
  
  

Download Now!

The latest version of the software can always be downloaded from its website.

The module has also been submitted to the Zren Cart downloads area.


Enjoy!

All the best...

I have just upgraded to Zen Cart 1.5.1 and Ceon Manual Card v4.0.1 and all is working fine.
In my previous version of Zen Cart (1.3.8a) I used what I think was the built in manual credit card processing module and was able to set a shopping cart total limit of £1000 for credit cards. So, whenever the cart total exceeded £1000 the CC payment option did not appear, just Paypal and Bank Deposit.

The code used in \includes\modules\payment\cc.php was:
/**
Limit CC payments up to £1000 excl VAT BOF
**/
if (IS_ADMIN_FLAG == true || $_SESSION['cart']->show_total() <= 1000) {
$this->enabled = true;
} else {
$this->enabled = false;
}
/**
Limit CC payments up to £1000 excl VAT EOF
**/

I have tried placing in ceon_manual_card.php but it breaks the entire checkout page.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

That code looks fine so it must simply be that you have put the code in the wrong place, breaking the PHP parsing of the file, or you've accidentally included extra text that breaks the parsing of the PHP.

Start with a fresh copy of ceon_manual_card.php and try again, being careful to do things right.

If you're still having trouble you've have to pay someone to do this for you.

As this is custom work please don't post a reply here, I'd like to keep this thread to Ceon Manual Card support only.

All the best..

Hey Conor / Ceon, thanks so much for updating this! I was actually just about to install the previous version! Anyway, is there any way this can be changed to save the first 6 digits and email the last 6 digits? The reason I ask is because MaxMind / AVS need the first 6 to run the fraud detection.

If your going to manually run a card it is a really good idea to do an address verification and it would be really cool if it could be automated.

Again, Thanks for being AWESOME!

I regret to advise you that Conor passed away last night. Please see http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?202939

Hello,

I installed the mod however i get the following message:

HTML Code:

---

The store's admin folder is not called “admin” but has been changed to “********”.

The value of DIR_FS_ADMIN in the configure.php file does not appear to match the admin's directory: “*********”.

---

But as per instructions here there is no need to alter the admin configure.php in v1.5.x when renaming your admin folder

You may find that you now have a new folder in your site called admin. That happens if you uploaded the mod's files from the files directory without changing the admin folder to the name of your new admin folder.

Conor created not only the cleanest code but great instructions as well. Try following the directions in the docs/index.html.

What do i do?

HTML Code:

---

Configuration Issues
Admin file missing!

At least one Ceon Manual Card admin file is missing:

/public_html/**************/includes/includes/extra_datafiles/ceon_manual_card_database_tables.php

The store's admin folder is not called “admin” but has been changed to “**************”.

The value of DIR_FS_ADMIN in the configure.php file does not appear to match the admin's directory: “*************”.

Please edit the admin configure.php file to check/fix the values for DIR_WS_ADMIN and DIR_FS_ADMIN.

I fixed this by adding a directory named "includes" in the admin/includes directory,

However i'm trying to get the payment method restricted to certain categories, i successfully did it on other modules with the instructions here but ceon code looks entirely different

You keep digging the hole deeper. You need to regroup, start over, and read the directions.

After you unzip the file (on your computer), there should be three folders and two files inside a directory named ceon_manual_card_4.0.1_for_zc. If not, you have the wrong files.

The _docs folder contains the instructions that can be read by clicking on the _docs/index.html file. READ THEM.

The files folder contains files that are added to the base directory of Zen Cart AFTER you rename admin to the name you have given your admin. No other change is needed. If your Zen Cart is at yoursite.com/store, the folders in the files directory would be added to yoursite.com/store. If your Zen Cart is at yoursite.com, the folders in the files directory would be added to yoursite.com.

The optional (but recommended) template_files folder contains a stylesheet used to add images and style to the cart and the admin menu. The directory should look like:

• template_files
  
  • includes
    
    • templates
      
      • STORE-TEMPLATE
        
        • css
          
          • stylesheet_ceon_manual_card.css

STORE-TEMPLATE needs to be changed to the template you are using. If it is a custom template, rename STORE-TEMPLATE to the name of your template. If you are using the classic template (you shouldn't), rename STORE-TEMPLATE to template_default.

Lastly, the renamed folders in the template_files directory should be added to your site the same way as the folders from the files menu.


Remember that both the files directory and the template_files directory are representing the location of your Zen Cart files. Both files and template_files are the same as yoursite.com or yoursite.com/whatever.

I did follow all instructions from the index.html in the docs folder, this is not the first mod i'm installing, the mod successfully installed, but in the admin there was a message saying that that a file is missing with this path:

admin/includes/includes/extra_datafiles/ceon_manual_card_database_tables.php

So for some reason it was looking for the ceon_manual_card_database_tables.php file in a directory called "Includes" within the "includes" directory, when this file was already in admin/includes/extra_datafiles/

So what i did is added the file according to the path it was looking for, so i now have that file in admin/includes/includes/extra_datafiles/ too. and it now works properly.

Since there should be no need for an includes folder in the includes folder, I submit that something is not working properly. Do all of your other admin links work correctly? Do you have any other error files in the cache or logs folder?

I just set up the latest ZenCart and Ceon Manual Card payment today. So far I'm not able to receive the CC info via my gmail address, but it is entered in correctly. Nothing in the spam folder either. Any ideas? Latest version of Ceon as well.

Hello,

Any way to disable this payment method for virtual/download products?

It is of heart felt sorrow to hear of the passing of Connor. My thoughts towards his family.
If someone who is as good as Connor can help.
My CEON module is not appearing on my payment module. It disappeared!

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

Not worthy to clean Conor's computer but will try to help if you'll help us. Answer the posting tips. They ARE there for a reason.

Especially the part about WHEN and WHAT was going on when the problem started.

The module is not appearing as a payment option? Is it because of the lack of SSL Certificate yet?

I am having a problem with the credit card number being sent in the email as well. I have upgraded Zen Cart from V1.3 to V1.5, no add-ons, after upgrading it was thoroughly tested and all was well. But my client insisted on having the credit card handled the way it was before the upgrade. As in the middle digits of the credit card to be sent via email. I installed Ceon Module V4, it does send credit card numbers via email but incorrectly. It sends the last four digits which is already displayed in the invoice. Email looks like this: Visa XX2222 ; while the invoice looks like this: Visa 1111XX2222. The settings are the same as listed above. The instructions said to not install the files in the store's admin but along side. I installed everything in store/includes, the actual store is in store/duty/includes.
Is there any other info that would be needed to help resolve this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As a new person to this Ceon forum and find it a little confusing. It seems there are many different issues but it appears as that everything is lumped into one thread. I don't see 'start a new thread' but fortunately I saw this note that relates to my problem.

I saw that you ask this question in another thread.

Did you take note of some of the answers?

I have an acquaintance whose site was hacked about a year ago (she was using some other eCommerce platform - Opencart I think) and the bank cancelled her card processing service and blacklisted her. She cannot process card payments now through her business, and has had to make an arrangement with another business to get them to process card payments. They charge a commission. Also, it means her online site cannot process cards. People have to place an order, then they phone the other company to pay. It's a mess. She has lost a lot of business.

I think you may have misread the instructions.
Is store a sub-directory of your site such as yoursite.com/store?
Is the actual Zen Cart really two levels deep at yoursite.com/store/duty?

Regardless, there should be only one includes directory in the root of the cart and one includes directory in the "admin" of your cart.

Yes. I read them but I found no helpful answers to my question, mostly reprimands regarding using this module. I finally figured out the problem myself. Only problem left is trying to figure out why it sends three emails for each order. Subject line for the first email is: '(New Order) Order Confirmation No:1234' with the specifics of the order; 2nd email is 'Order Confirmation No:1234 which again gives the specifics of the order; 3rd email is 'Extra Card Information for Order #1234'. Anyone else getting 3 emails for each order? Anyone know how to fix this or is that 'just the way it's supposed to work'.
Please don't send me anymore reprimands, I think by now I know all the risks.
Thanks for any help someone may give.

I did fail to ask about another problem. For testing purposes I have my clients email address listed first, then my email address to send all order emails come to both of us. But for some reason, my client is not receiving any order confirmation emails but I am. I've looked and looked at those parameters and can't find anything wrong. If someone could point me in the right direction, I so appreciate it.
Thanks
Sharon

This is not a function of the mod, but a setting in the email section of the configuration menu in your admin. You have apparently set the email copies to yes for many things.

Also not part of the mod but set in the Admin - Configuration - Email

Hello,

My email transport method was set to smtpauth up until now, but all of a sudden it stopped delivering emails so i switched to php and i don't get the email containing extra card information,

#1 i need a solution for the future
#2 is there anyway i can retrieve the info for the current orders so that i don't have to call up all customers for their card info?

#1 Don't turn a site back on from an e-mail "switch" without first ensuring that the emails work. That, of course is assuming that you took the site "Down for Maintenance" while making such important changes.

#2 I'm afraid you'll need to start dialing if you can't find them in the failed to deliver area of your email.

Hi Guys
I need help to add a couple of new data fields. I need to add 'Postcode' and 'door number' field in the form and save these details. How can I do that.

Also, could I talk to you about modifying the module as per my bespoke requirements, please? shahadat9612 at gmail is my address for email communication.

regards,
Shahadat

Welcome to the forum.

That is something that would be done outside the module. Conor was the best at not touching core files with his mods.

What you are wanting to do is change the Create Account page, its accompanying pages, and the database table. You might look at http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...ccount%29-Page to see if that will help.

Note: While we all don't list it in our sig, most of us prefer to answer questions in the forum versus a PM. A PM might be required but, it is more helpful to the community to answer general questions in the forum.

The mod is installed and working on a 1.3.9h site. The checkout page works fine validating the input and the order is processed correctly. The problem is that when it writes the cvv number to the db it truncates the leading zero(s). If the cvv is 003 it writes 3 to the db. Any ideas on how to fix this? Running the mod in debug mode shows the correct cvv.

anyway to require CVV to be 3 digits?

we do not accept amex but ceon will alow 15 digit card number, anyway to alter this?

My question is, why? Are you afraid someone will enter an incorrect number? That will happen regardless of the number of digits.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I want people to recognize when checking out that we do not accept AMEX, it looks like the Visa/Master logo and dropdown isn't enough for them

Hello I am looking for a download link that can give me direction on installing the latest CEON manual card, thank you

Latest version with instructions included available in the plugins. http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=893

i just installed this module its working fine but its doing one problem it not sending Credit cards details on my mail ?

Attachment 13279I have the problem to uninstall Ceron manual Card,I try to uninstall from the Admin-payment and deleted all the file I installed, but it still shows when I check out on "payment method", how can I remove it? this is my website

I am wondering if someone can shed some light on a problem I have with this module... I have installed it and it works brilliant apart from anyone wishing to pay via a MasterCard Debit and the error message "You have selected MasterCard Debit Card but have entered the number of a MasterCard Credit Card" appears. Now the card is a MasterCard Debit and not credit. This has happened on a number of cards so it's not a one off. In the admin section the option to pay via MasterCard Debit is on.

Can anyone help with this issue?

zen v1.5.1 & Ceon Manual Card v4.0.1

We just started noticing that the Card CV2 Number is only showing two digits. We suspect a "0" is the first number and is being left off when it is returned from encryption. We have been able to confirm "0" is the first CV2 number with our credit card machine on a couple orders. Any ideas on a way of fixing the problem.

Good morning -
this mod is a lifesaver-- I have been using it since its conception in 2009.

And as the saying goes 'if it works dont mess with it' and I have not...

But I am faced with upgrading the cart to accommodate Wordpress and My Q? is

When going from 2.0.1 payment mod to the current 4.0, is there an upgrade or is this going to be a complete install? TIA

That should be answered in the readme or such in the downloaded files.

I am having trouble with middle digits emails getting delivered. We get other emails from the system, but not the middle digits.

http://www.fantasycostume.com and http://www.fantasycostume.net

The problem is intermittent, and has been going on for some time. It has gotten worse in the last week.

We have no special template installed on fantasycostume.com. We have "Upscale Boutique" installed on fantasycostume.net.

If you think this may be a server issue, can you tell me what mail system the mod is using, and any other pertinent information that would help when I complain to my ISP.

The mod uses whatever mail transport method is set for zencart. Code that has been working for years doesn't just start to fail unless some external factor has changed - check the settings in the module to ensure that you have not been hacked and that the email address hasn't been altered.

Check your logs directory for errors.

I can't recall if Ceon ever included a debugging tool in the Manual module - if he did, the switches will be at the bottom of the configuration in admin so it would be worth turning it on and trying to recreate the failed orders.

I think this module shows customer card information on order detail page and then we have to manually punch/key in to terminal to charge the card.
Is there anyway to display a button on order detail page for "Charge" so we can click on it to charge the card instead of manually punch/key in as it takes lot of time.
To do so probably need to link this to authorize.net module/terminal.

This module is very useful to avoid robots and fraudulent transactions and fees but manually type in takes lot of time. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

This module was designed to "get around" the need for more than one merchant account. Most stores cannot afford all the merchant accounts that are required to do business both on-line and in-store. PCI problems have made it even worse for some merchants.

Since most "store" merchant accounts will accept a charge that was mailed or phoned in, this mod was created to utilize the "card not present" portion of a standard merchant account.

Therefore, the module was designed to do just what it does -- Collect CC information in the most secure manner possible in order to allow off-line processing.

Why would you want to tie it into AIM or something else? It is NOT designed to avoid robots are avoid fraudulent charges. It simply passes on the numbers it is given.

Furthermore, trying to pass any information gathered by the mod to any other payment method WOULD violate PCI requirements.

Need to use "Card Not Present?" This is for you.

Need speed and automation? This mod is NOT for you. There are lots of other options available that will meet PCI requirements.

I am doing PCI compliance and Secure metrics has issues with email ports being insecure. They have issues with several ports ie 26;587;21.
Bluehost is my server and they have said that closing these ports will not prevent the transmittal of the emails that send the cc infor to my inbox. They suggested I check which port these are transmitted. they suggested that port 465 would be safe for them..
Which port is the emails transmitted thru? Am i ok to close these other ports?

Just another area where ZC is so flexible. In the YourAdmin >> Configuration >> E-Mail Options, you can set several different methods for e-mail delivery. No matter what you set there, that setting will be used when any e-mail is sent from the site.

Meanwhile, I submit that there may be other things giving you the PCI problems. Those guys are only able to exist if they find something. Therefore, it's in their best interest to hide things that could fix the problems. SM is the worst.

Also, there are some things that are not turned on that should be. I'll PM you a pdf report of your site. Forward it to BlueHost to get them on board with the changes.

@stitchnkitty - Ceon Manual Card never was intended, is not, and is most unlikely ever to be PCI compliant. I refer you to Conor's original comments in his manual for the plugin...

FYI, we have been advised by several of our UK clients that as a condition of being granted a Merchant Account, their banks are now demanding that card details are ENTERED on the payment gateway server, and should that become universal (as it no doubt will in time) then that will consign not only the Ceon Manual Card, but also his commercial offering of Ceon Sagepay Direct to history.

Yesterday, I installed CEON Manual Card 4.0.1 for ZC v1.5.1 and am overwhelmed by the thoroughly professional job that the late Conor did on this module. The install and activation was easy, due in large part to the completeness and accuracy of the instructions. The module works exactly as represented, and I am pleased beyond measure with the work Conor did.

I do have one slight problem, however. I am using the .png images provided in the install for the CC's I accept, but they appear to be overly pixilated, possibly distracting from the desirablity of using this payment method. Is there another way to display the CC images in a less-pixilated form, so the edges are clean?

Please advise.

PS My heart goes out to all of you who knew Conor; from what I read in the thread, he was definitely one-in-a-million.

Just to bring everyone up to speed....I changed the .png images out for .jpg, and although they take may slow load times down a bit, at least for now they help the appearance of what is an absolutely fantastic module.

If anyone still has any ideas for fixing the pixilated .png's I would appreciate it.

Thanks again,
Phil

Hi All, I am new to the forum and I am having similar issues. Recently the New Order Emails have begun to send intermittently. I haven't seen a pattern on what may be causing the issue. The only way we are able to see the order is if we go in through the Admin panel. Even then we are only provided with some of the cc# details. We then have to call the customer to ask for the middle digits which raises red flags for them. Hoping you may bring some clarity to the situation.

The store is currently on ZC 1.5.1 and CEON 4.0.1

Do you have any debug files in the /logs folder? I would hazard a guess that something OTHER THAN the mod is causing the problem. You might want to check your e-mail method and make sure your host works well with that as some are setup for both php and smtp. Many are not.

I installed Ceon Manual Card 4.0.1 on Zencart 1.53. It works, but I have a problem. The listing is not correct. Behind the card type is asked for name + number. Behind the cardnumber has been asked for expiration date, a.s.o.
I can't find the template to change the performance.
Anyone who can help me
Dirk

Same problem here. The module works fine but the alignment is screwed up. For some reason "accepted cards" and the icons are on the same line as the Cardholder_name and Card#. Anyone any ideas? txs in advance.

There are many things that can cause this that are not related to the mod. Just the fact that you both may be using a non-English language file might make a difference. Any check-out or log-in mods could effect it as well.
Please follow the posting tips and answer as many of the questions as you can. Especially, the one about posting your site's address. You can post it as yoursiteDOTcom if you don't want the search engines to grab it just yet.

@dbltoe I have looked in the /logs folder on the server root and don't see anything for days that have had the missing order emails. Am I looking in the wrong place? Please excuse my ignorance as I am quite new to ZC.

How do I make this compatible with 1.5.4 please (just before I install it)

The person above said that it worked in 1.5.3. Are there changes in 1.5.4 that would keep it from functioning?

I have Ceon Manual setup on my 1.39h. For some strange reason I am unable to get in my admin to retrieve my orders for credit cards. All I have is the emails sent to me. How can I retrieve the visible cc numbers that appear in my admin? Can I find the info in my phpadmin tables? If so where can I find?

I just need this as a temp solution in case I get c/c orders. I am working on a 1.54 site.
thanks

Have you tried this on 1.5.4? I need it for a very quick fix while I get a problem sorted out.

Your best bet is to knock together a test site of your own store and test it out. Could you post back to report either way just so anyone else with same question can learn from your endeavors please.

I just tried to install this on a 1.5.4 test site I have and so far can not get it to work

Worked for me on a 1.54 site. Seems to send emails ok but for me is missing a closing tag. please see pic.
I will check the orders.php page and see if I can figure this out. Seems to be cosmetic.

In light of the last few post I feel kinda stupid asking, but is there any chance of getting this or some other manual card plugin, working in 1.55?

If I get chance I'll set up a vanilla install and see what's what.

Excellent news.
I don't use this mod myself but like so many others I'll continue to help and support the unrivalled work that Conor (rip) created.

Someone may want to update the download link on the first post of this thread to point to the plugin page for downloading rather than the Ceon website which is no longer available..

Just an FYI for those reading this thread..

I have a customer running 2 different sites with ZC installs. Both were 1.39h and have been using the CEON payment module for years. Last week the hosting account was upgraded and their 1.39h was no longer usable under the new version of PHP. I successfully updated them to ZC 1.55a and the Ceon v3.0.0 seemed to be working just fine. But since I was updating I decided it would probably be best to update the CEON plug-in also. The update was a cakewalk. After following the instructions I did a test transaction and it functioned exactly as it always has.

To be fair, I may not have it using all the available features. The client just wanted the ability to manually process all orders. Their reasoning is if there is a stock issue or delay they don't want to charge credit cards until the package is weighed and ready for UPS. Truth be told, it probably wouldn't matter as they could always issue a refund to the card if there was a reason the order was not going to happen in a timely fashion.

But the main reason I'm posting is to let you know that this payment module v4.01, does in fact work with ZC 1.55a as far as plucking the center numbers from the credit card and emailing them with the CVV2 number under a separate email.

We have been using Ceon Manual card for many years. Randomly the system stops sending out the middle numbers. Grasping for straws, I have re-uploaded the files to fix it. For some reason that has worked in the past. It is no longer working now though. Wish I could figure this out...but I can't :bangin:

Tried adjusting file permissions too...no go. :(

I've had that problem a few times. My system was being hit by bots and i think the sql queries were simply timing out. One hell of a long-winded .htaccess file later, server load is where it should be and all is well....now to upgrade to 1.5.5 :P

Hi,

My name is Neil Kerr, I am Conor's younger brother.

My family and I are in the process of relaunching Ceon, in memory of Conor and would appreciate if you could have a look at the following post;

Many thanks,

I upgraded to Zen Cart v1.5.6a (from v1.5.5f) and also upgraded my PHP to 7.2.19 (from 5.5.35).
The plugin still seems to work fine but I am getting an error in the logs now.

That sounds like a php problem in that this mod hasn't been updated and may not work on higher versions of php. I'm about to upgrade a site to 1.5.5f that uses it too.

Conor's submission was a helpful one in its time. Credit card processing was a LOT different and e-commerce was getting a double hit as merchant account provider demanded different accounts for on line and brick-n-mortar.

A lot of us had to resort to Conor's mod and calling in our numbers. Later, we were able to connect with a browser but, we still paid that extra percentage for "card not present" transactions.

Conor himself acknowledged that this method was a work around and less than secure for all concerned. Its process is not only NOT PCI compliant but, it is unsafe for both the customer and the store owner.

With the advent of PayPal, we had a viable option that was more secure. Yes, some folks despise PayPal but, there are many out there in e-commerce that don't feel comfortable using anything else. PayPal does not force folks to make an account as some will say. If the customer has a PayPal account, the system will ask them to login. Otherwise, they are immediately provided the opportunity to use their own card.

Next came Square. Another one with all sorts of rumors floating around. "Can't get my money" seems to be the big complaint but, I've never had that happen. Square has only given me one charge back (stolen card) and I've been with them from the start. Oddly enough, it was the Square business model that Conor mentioned often in our emails. Even though Square was not around at the time of Conor's passing, I bet he would have done something like it within a year.

Unlike other merchant accounts, Square has no sign-up or monthly fees. If you manage to get the right rep on the phone, they might give you a better rate if you mention Zen Cart.

Sorry for the length but, I felt it needed to explain that this is old and, potentially, VERY expensive/damaging software. Expensive that "call in" fees are always more than keyed in AND the risk to your business and the customer through non-compliant processing. Damaging in the potential loss of customer data.

Unless you have one of the prohibited businesses listed at http://tinyurl.com/y5ksco5b, I'd rethink PayPal and Square before using Conor's mod.

I am looking at square now for an alternative for my customers. Since the customers using the manual card are doing a card not present transaction, they may be paying high rates now. Square is 2.75% - about what I pay for many of my transactions since I'm a business to business user. Business/corporate cards engender higher processing fees. Having zen include square in the default makes the switch a sounder decision now.

Thanks swguy,
That fixed the previous error but now it generates a new one.
I also upgraded to Zen Cart v1.5.6c this morning if that effects anything. The error only happens using PHP 7.2.19 not when I roll back to PHP 7.1.30

Works great using Zen Cart 1.5.6c running PHP Version 7.2.20 now.
Thanks for your help swguy!

Hi there.
