It displays as a payment method, other than displaying the payment module and allowing the user to select it, it is not prompting for the users zelle account and is not transferring money from the users account to the sellers account.
Per this, is this supposing the customer STILL has to log into their app and manually place the payment?: "Customers can make a payment via their bank's ZelleŽ app. Their order-confirmation email will include the Zelle ID that you provide in the payment method's configuration."
This payment method is similar to the Check/Moneyorder one; the customer needs to log into their bank/app to send the money to you.Quote:

Correct. They make the payment, then put the payment identifier in during checkout so you can easily match their payment to their order.
Thank you both for the clarification!Quote:

Where can I add a small Zelle logo?
If you point me to one, I can get the payment method to include the image! If not, simply edit /includes/modules/payment/zelle.php and add (to the __construct) a statement likeQuote:

They have some here:
https://www.zellepay.com/small-busin...siness-toolkit
Here is a good logo, you may have to resize it:
https://www.logo.wine/logo/Zelle_%28payment_service%29
I added this to the zelle.php
Uploaded the zelle.png image to the zen cart directory /images/icons/PHP Code:public function __construct()
{
global $order;
$this->icon = DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'images/icons/zelle.png';
But nothing is displayed, just the text "Pay via Zelle"
OK, note to self, payment modules are not like shipping modules!
The Zelle payment method, v1.1.0 is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2301
This release contains changes to interoperate with PHP 8.2 (#1) and now provides a Zelle icon (#2) for the display on the checkout_payment or checkout_one page.
Not sure what is happening, but I pushed the new files and still no image.
Is this working for you?
It would be nice to change the message on the check out page that reads "Pay via Zelle" to include a hyperlink on "Zelle", to
https://www.zellepay.com/how-it-works
that opens in a new window.
or/and add the hyperlink to the Zelle icon (once the icon is working)
So far I'm really liking Zelle

There's a plugin for that.

Interesting, but this module has not been updated since Sep 2012 and only tested with v1.5.0Quote:

We have to email some of them to make them aware that the order is not yet complete.
Need a custom confirmation email for Zelle, that has a different subject line, like "Order XXXXX received, Payment Pending"
Then in the body of the email, the section regarding Zelle and how to perform the payment is not pronounced....needs attention grabbing formatting.
This plugin can be easily modified for Venmo payments. Just change every instance of Zelle to Venmo.
What would I need to change to get the Order confirmation email for Zelle, to include the word "PENDING" in the subject line?
Make a template-override copy of the payment method's language file (from /includes/languages/english/modules/payment/zelle.php to /includes/languages/english/modules/payment/YOUR_TEMPLATE/zelle.php) and make your changes in the template-override.Quote:

I know that Zen has this override architecture.... but I never have used it
The problem with Zelle, is customers don't look at the email confirmation. At checkout, they have an expectation that they will be taken to some page to complete their Zelle transaction. So much so, that we get people repeating order, figuring the 1st did not go thru, since they were never asked to complete their Zelle purchase. We have also found that Many select Zelle without even knowing what it is.
A simple patch would be to alter the email confirmation subject line to include the words "pending" or "on hold", "action required", etc.
Can someone point me to an example of a subject line change in any other plugin?
What Zen Cart version?Quote:

//define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Order Confirmation');
Does the last half of that new statement
Cover the case where it is not Zelle, such that it defaults to the original statement of just "Order Confirmation"?Code:? 'Action required: Order Confirmation' : 'Order Confirmation'
That seems to be working. Thanks so muchQuote:

While I haven't tested, a quick code review say "It should". Note that it's similar to a check/moneyorder type payment; the customer takes your Zelle account information (posted once an order is complete) and has to make that transfer separately.Quote:

Using the zc158+ lang.zelle.php, which requires zc158+ for operation. If you're still on zc157, continue to use v1.1.0.
