Hello all, since I developed some payment modules, I'd like to know if there are any changes in program about checkout system modification. I'm referring expecially to how/when is stored the order in db.
I want to enhance my modules (the ones which use external gateway to process credit card payments) to manage better the 'not closed orders'. Actually I use a new table to create an id to send to the gateway and if, for any reason, the payment is completed on the gateway but not closed in Zen Cart I have some data collected about this order. The new enhancement regard storing also order products details (pid, quantity, attributes, ecc...). This way if an order is not closed, but payed for, it is possible to easyly know what was ordered.
Since storing info about products ordered, attributes, ecc.. is not easy and fast, I would like to know if you plan (1 month? 6 months? never?) to modify checkout system, storing the order (maybe with a payment pending status) before the payment is done.
Thanks!
