[Support Thread] Nochex APC

[kuroi]

Sounds like you feel the same way about the Nochex mod as I feel about Stock by Attributes. But at least I have benefited from knowing that SBA is on the roadmap for 1.4.

Most open source projects rapidly become moribund and fade into obscurity. The small number of successful ones develop their own unique cultures and ways of working largely reflecting the personalities and preferences of the individuals on the team. In the case of Zen Cart, it appears that the development team are most comfortable working in a small, closed team, and indeed that this helps to fuel their continuing motivation and commitment to the project. While your and my presence here suggests that, Nochex issues aside, we rather like the results that this produces.

Well to put it bluntly, it's their headache now. One thing I have learnt is that there is no point in releasing fixes for core code. They just get ignored or lost in the bug reports forum. How the dev team can work without a proper bug tracking system is a mystery.

Maybe I'll go back to writing computer games, there's a certain 3D space game sequel that still needs finishing (I am of course still available for paid support work if anyone requires support for their sites or mods, and I do a great service for multivariate testing )

I think Zen Cart is a great ecommerce system and the dev team do a great job. They just seem to make life extra hard for themselves by not being open in development, bug tracking or change control. There are a lot of people here who could help but it is really made difficult, maybe it is a trust thing.

Erm..Kinda poked around this thread a bit...is there a working (no bugs) Nochex merchant module that is for zencart 1.3.7 and uses all the new Nochex systems etc?

Thanks

Hi, am trying to get Nochex card payments working on my ZenCart 1.3.7.1

The short version is I want Nochex to just appear and ask for card details - i.e. NO 'create a Nochex account - that crap just puts people off. How can I change my Nochex 'Seller' account into an 'Xtra' account which allows non-Nochex members to make direct payments up to £100 ?

At the moment when custs check out they are asked by Nochex for Login/Password/last 6 digits of their card.. and the 'register for a nochex account' link takes them to a page about Seller/Merchant accounts - wtf?

Cheers,
Gavin.

Pete - I belive this is what you are after. (V1.31)

gdhgdh - Sounds like you need a merchant account as opposed to the standard seller account. Thats a nochex thing, and nothing to do with the module or ZC.

See for info....http://www.nochex.co.uk/merchant-services/

For the purposes of future searches, I got this problem resolved.

The issue was the Nochex account did not have a debit card registered, even though a UK bank account was associated with it. It is a normal free 'Seller' account - a Merchant account is not required.

Now that the debit card is registered, the full 'enter card details' screen appears for customers on my ZC shop, works like a charm and looks professional.

Thanks for your work on this. We've been having major problems. The store is on v1.3.0.2 and we loaded v 1.2 of your mod. All worked fine on test but switching to live no order details are being sent to admin or the confirmation emails. It's a merchant account - is this because of the bug that was identified with the description not being passed? Can I load v1.3 onto 1.2 without any issues?

Your help would be VERY much appreciated.
