I installed on ZC 1.5.7c
using OPC 2.3.9
configured the payment module with phone number.

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 Zelle® 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.

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!

It's really a very simply payment method, kind of like "Direct Bank Deposit". There's no API to 'talk' to Zelle; the payment method is just a means to kind of hide your Zelle account until someone wishes to pay via that method.

Re: Zelle Payments [Support Thread]

On the payment checkout page, there is now a choice of two payment options, one is Zelle. But unlike the other, Zelle has no image logo for Zelle, and may go unnoticed.
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 like

$this->icon = DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'images/icons/zelle.jpg';


... or whatever the name of the Zelle icon is.

Re: Zelle Payments [Support Thread]

I added this to the zelle.php

[PHP] public function __construct()
{
global $order;
$this->icon = DIR_WS_TEMPLATE . 'images/icons/zelle.png';[/PHP]

Uploaded the zelle.png image to the zen cart directory /images/icons/

But nothing is displayed, just the text "Pay via Zelle"

Re: Zelle Payments [Support Thread]

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.

Re: Zelle Payments [Support Thread]

Not sure what is happening, but I pushed the new files and still no image.
Is this working for you?

Re: Zelle Payments [Support Thread]

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

Re: Zelle Payments [Support Thread]

Another nice feature would be to provide a small configurable discount for Zelle users, since there is not the usual transaction fees. Essentially the idea would be to show a discount on the payment page to encourage the use of Zelle over other options. I suspect this would not be an easy add.

There's a plugin for that.

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