QuickBooks Merchant Service

cptok: Would it be possible to get a transaction number back into Zen Cart? Or is this something that is beyond what the desktop model can do? Something like the paypal IPN transaction info. It would be great if one could see that a payment has been made and have a reverence # posted in the order.

Yes - I noticed this as well. What I will say at this point is, the Authorization Code and Transaction ID are indeed captured back into Zen as part of the order info. But... does not display in the email back to the admin or the customer nor in the order details in admin. I agree that it should, but that may not actually be a qbms thing - but more of a zen thing. I'll track it down at some point.

Order info, to be displayed on admin order pages, can be done. But will take me a while. I will add this to whatever comes up as a 1.7 release. I'm continuing to clean up code, and make it all properly GPL compliant.

I appreciate your effort for this module. Looking forward to a proper integration with some kind of payment record back in the order info of the customer. I hope this module will stay alive when 2.0 arrives. It will probably need again some work.

I wonder if this could be done with QB merchant as well. I noticed it is a bit tricky to keep track of the payments from all stores.

Update for today - and it's good news. Add on now successfully captures the Auth Code and Transaction ID and displays as part of the order in admin screen. Now just need to elegantly display cc info (truncated cc number, name on card and expiry), then clean up GPL stuff, and we'll have a 1.7 available!

That IS good news. Wow.

Posted v1.7. Includes new capture of auth code and transaction ID. These are now posted to the admin orders screen, and included in the admin email at time of order. It is also available to the customer in their order history. Upon further reflection and consideration, it did not make sense to try to deal with other cc info - as I prefer not to tread to closely to credit card laws (capturing cc numbers etc.). And, for our purposes as QBMS users, we can do anything via the merchant account interface including voids, refunds, verifying address info etc.

Great. Any idea when it will be available for download?

Up to the mod gods now. But should be up shortly.

At this point, it seems that we have taken care of urgent fixes and nice enhancements (with new auth code and trans id capture). But if there is a bug, or something has been missed - post here!

I installed 1.7 and it works great. Posting of [QBMS PMT] AUTH: 0xxxP TransID: MAxxxxx1557 works fine. I like that it is visible to the admin and the customer in my account.

I noticed that the info is sent to the defined order email (admin) but not to the customers order confirmation. Did you do or not do this on purpose? Maybe the QBMS PMT] AUTH: 0xxxP TransID: MAxxxxx1557 should be sent in the order confirmation too? Maybe this would avoid some charge backs as customers can identify where the charge came from? What do you think?

Otherwise, thank you very very much. This 1.7 implementation will be a great helper.

The workflow for QB merchant orders starts to be more efficient for me. I want to share how I process the orders.

- Get email with new order
- Login Admin and print the order for my records
- Enter sales receipt in QB using only customer name (Sold to) and generic product for recording the sale. Enter method of payment and order #. (I leave the Customer Job blank so no account gets created for the customer. I only use Customer Job for my wholesale customers where I expect frequent reorders.)

- I deposit according to the batches that I can look up online in the Merchant Service.

Now that the transaction# is stored with the order, I do not need to check if the transaction actually posted in the Merchant Service.

One thing is missing for me: I wish I would see what type of credit card was used. At the moment it only shows "Pay by Credit Card". I still have to get that info from Merchant Service unfortunately. If there is a way of posting to the order what Credit Card was used, it would be greatly helpful.
