Luottokunta module for Finnish shops

The Luottokunta module downloadable in the zencart add-ons is totally bugged.

If customer does an order, goes to luottokunta site and closes the browser after making payment but before continuing back to the shops checkout_process page the order obviously doesn't get saved to the database by zencart (not modules fault), but also because of this the customer CAN NOT make any more orders with luottokunta module...

This is because the module reads the database for a count of orders made with luottokunta and uses this as the order ID (needed by luottokunta API).

And since the previous order did not get saved to the database, the order ID will be the same as the last order, which is then refused by luottokunta API

It is kinda stupid way how it works now... why was the original coder so afraid to use a more reliable database approach to handle the order id and hack such an unreliable system which limits the amount of orders anyway...(?)

Also the recent security fix earlier this year by someone is kinda bugged!

Luottokunta API does not add the order ID to the success URL, the module has to do it ... due to this no orders go through with the current module (it seems to die in the order_process page)!

I'm working on a fix for a customer (who is paying me to do this work), so anyone who wants the fixed module at the moment should contact me (privat message)!
I'll submit the module to zencart downloads later on, when I have fully tested the module with my customer.

ZenCart (and OsCommerce) has one serious problem (my opinion) regarding the payment. The problem is that the payment has to be done before the order has been created to the database.

If the order is created before payment, the order id could be used as a identifier. Now there is no such an option so you have to use something else for unique id such as counting amount of orders (bad) or randomizing some numbers (little better).

There is working versio of Luottokunta module available but it is commercial. I am not sure is it against the "rules" to give you the link to the web site where the module is available so I will give you just the google link, choose yourself :)

(Other available modules are Handelsbanken, Ålandsbanken, Nettiluotto, Luottokunta, S-Pankki, Tapiola, Osuuspankki, Nordea and Sampo.)

So... My recommendation is to use some unique id and after the payment process check that MD5 sum of the payment is correct and add the unique id to the order (comment field for example), it helps finding out payment problems. The order id is available after payment.

Also remember to tell you customers to have "Tarkistelaskenta" tick boxes checked at Luottokunta's admin panel.

Hopefully this helps.

Moi,

osaisiko joku auttaa tässä Luottokunta moduulissa?

Se antaa kyllä vaihtoehdoksi luottokorttimaksun mutta kun valitsen maksu vaihtoehdoksi Visa/MasterCard/EuroCard vaihtoehdon ja painan Continue CheckOut menee järjestelmän Payment Information sivuille jossa voi painaa Confirm painiketta.

Järjestelmä hyppää aina tästä takaisin edelliselle sivulle. Eli miksi se ei mene eteenpäin? Pitäisikö kysyä Visakortintietoja vai mitä?

Kiitos!!!!!!
