Is there a way to stop downloads on orders over a certain amount?

Hi,

I run a digital scrapbooking store, and lately there's been a rash of people making purchases over $50 through Paypal, downloading the virtual products, and then charging back on their credit card or attached bank account.

Ideally, I need to be able to hold orders over $50 until I'm sure they aren't going to charge back and get the products for free.

I've looked through the forum but I can't find anything on this.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Joanne

You would have to customize the payment module(s) where the order status is set to change on orders that have totals >= 50 ...

Example, in Check/Money Order
/includes/modules/payment/moneyorder.php

this code is getting the setting for the Orders Status based on the settings of the Payment Module:

      if ((int)MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_ORDER_STATUS_ID > 0) {
        $this->order_status = MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_ORDER_STATUS_ID;
      }

You can change that value of the:
$this->order_status

based on the amount of the order to a different Order Status such as Pending, so the Downloads are not immediately available ...

That's great information, but would there be anyone who could give me the exact wording and the exact files I'd have to change to do this - I have no clue how to write php :(

Thanks so much for answering!!

It would be helpful to have more information for someone to re-write this ...

What payment module(s) ...

What Order Status do you want when over $50.00 etc.

Thanks so much!!

It is the PayPal IPN - Website Payments Standard module.

If an order comes in for $50 or more, I still want them to be returned to the store site, but I want to put a new page instead of the download page that explains that there order will be held until proof of payment (I can do that part, as long as I know what to call the file and where to put it). So I guess it would be Order Pending or something along those lines for the Order Status.

If you need more info, just let me know, k?

Thanks!

Why not use Admin->Tools->Define Pages Editor->define_checkout_success.php and just put a message there that everyone will see?

That would work if they didn't get returned right to the download page as soon as they pay at Paypal :P

I was specifically answering the part about the "new page".

OK, thanks

For PayPal IPN (Standard), you would need to customize the Payment Module file:
/includes/payment/paypal.php

and change this section of code to be:

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

// bof: custom code for order status
      if ($order->info['total'] <= 50.00) {
        // set to normal setting for orders less than or equal to $50
        $this->order_status = MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ORDER_STATUS_ID;
      } else {
        // set to pending for orders over $50
        $this->order_status = 1;
      }
// eof: custom code for order status

    if (is_object($order)) $this->update_status();

Thank you so much!!!

I'm going to try it

OK, just to be sure I'm going to do this right, I would find this:

    $this->enabled = ((MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
    if ((int)MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ORDER_STATUS_ID > 0) {
      $this->order_status = MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ORDER_STATUS_ID;
    }
    if (is_object($order)) $this->update_status();

and REPLACE with this:

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

// bof: custom code for order status
      if ($order->info['total'] <= 50.00) {
        // set to normal setting for orders less than or equal to $50
        $this->order_status = MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_ORDER_STATUS_ID;
      } else {
        // set to pending for orders over $50
        $this->order_status = 1;
      }
// eof: custom code for order status

    if (is_object($order)) $this->update_status();

Is this correct?

Thanks so much for helping me!!

That should work ... test it out to make sure this is working the way you need it ...

Thanks so much for all your help - now I just have to find someone with $50 to test it for me :P

Hugs,
Joanne
