Need to bypass payment at checkout for just a couple orders

After my zencart was hacked, I removed everything and did a fresh installation with 1.3.9. However, I lost 5 orders (I have copies of them in my email) and I now want to add them into the new version of the cart so I have complete records of all products ordered.

I've added in the customers (using the Admin Add Customer module) and done a Place Order (using that module) however, I cannot seem to bypass the payment section. These people have already paid of course.

Any ideas? I did many searches in the forum and couldn't find anything specific to my question. :(

You could turn on Check/Money Order just for a moment, run those orders, and then turn it off. Or use COD the same way.

Also, my solution assume you have installed master password and you log in to the catalog as those customers.

You could enable the "COD" payment module, enter the orders.. mark them paid and then disable the module again?

Great!! thanks so much for those hints.

I've tried turning on COD but when I try to edit the order I had in process, I'm not getting any choice of payment method, only PayPal (which is the only option I've allowed). I'm not seeing where to reset that so there are other payment options.... (and yes, I have installed the master password add-on)

Solved the problem by setting PayPal to FALSE for the duration.

Thanks so much for the help. This is the best forum!!
