    Default Non module payment methods

    Built into zencart there is a few ways people can pay (Paypal, credit card etc) but what about if somebody wants to pay some different way? Is there any way that a customer can choose "other" as payment method and then send a message and receive an email so that I could then arrange payment? Basiaclly have a comment box that they can explain how they want to pay?
    There are lots of other payment methods other than what is shown in zencart. Western union, bank deposit, propay, google payments etc.
    I realize that you wouldent want the checkout cluttered with 25 payment methods that few people use but you would think that a "Other" payment option module would be useful.
    Is there such a way to give customers this option?

    You could rename and change the text in one of the existing modules, like COD, or add some text to the payment page sending your customers to the Contact Us page if they want to send you money some other way.

    I have to say it's hard to imagine an actual method of payment that isn't already available for Zencart, built-in or add on mod.

    Steve's on the right track... but I would not do this with the COD module. I remember several years ago Ajeh telling me why it was not a good idea to "clone" it, but I can't remember why!

    I cloned check/moneyorder and it is now available in the free add-ons section as account holders

    This is an easy one to clone and as Steve says, once cloned, just give it its own DEFINES.

    Download account holders and compare it to check/moneyorder

    This will give you all you need to know to create your own clone

    I did something similar to this too... There is no Western Union payment module, and I created one of my own.. Instead of cloning one of the stock payment modules I cloned a payment module that was similar to what I needed. (Couldn't get it to work the way I wanted when I cloned the check/money order module) I submitted it to the downloads section (still pending approval).. In the meantime I uploaded the zip file to to my site to share with others in case anyone finds this useful.. (Hope the admins don't mind me sharing this link..)
