Minimum order for Payment Types

[helpdbay]

Hello, I have recently modified a stratapay (Australia) module for zen cart and would like to add a minimum order total for that particular payment type, and if the order is under that limit a certain charge would be applied (IE a minimum order of $20 or a $2.00 charge will be applied) i just dont know how to manipulate the current modules that much.

It would also be useful for Credit Card payments, as in Australia you are allowed to charge extra to cover the Chredit Card Charge.

Excellent question me too!

There is a Minimum Order mod attached; not sure if it can be selectively applied though.

You can also alter a Payment module to not allow it to be enabled based on a critieria from a function ...

The reason to use a funciton is so that it can run from both the admin and catalog as both sides call the same file ...

Take moneyorder.php for example ...

This line enables it when it is installed:

$this->enabled = ((MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);

If you were to place a function around it that checked the cart total and returned a true or false this would prevent that from being set to true ... so the module would not run ...

In the catalog side, the function is testing the cart total ... on the admin side the function just returns true ...

I have tried this method to select your payment types using the cart total, however have 1 small issue that I can't get round. What ahppens when a customer is paying with a gift voucher as well?

Basically, you need to include the if ($order->info['total'] > MNIMUM_AMOUNT) { then allow the payment to be used. However, as gift vouchers don't affect the order->info['total'] value, as the credit is handled by the order totals, is there any way round this?
