Pay by invoice ("bill me later"/"store credit account"/Pay Later/Layaway)

The Invoice payment module has been posted to the download site at

https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=131

You may mark customers as being able to pay by invoice by adding them to a pricing group whose name with the string "invoice." In this way, multiple pricing groups (with multiple discounts) may be used in conjunction with payment by invoice.

Two new files, no overrides, no database schema changes. Four or five steps depending on your needs.

Good luck,
Scott

Does this work with 1.3.6? I'm not seeing any "invoice" option in the payment area of admin.

Did you follow the instructions and install all the files?

mod works great, swguy :) thanks!

Phid, make sure you add a group INVOICE and add the customer you are logging in as to it

"invoice" is good, or "invoice*" if you have multiple invoiceable groups and wish to simultaneously use group discount.

Scott

Yes, I did install all the files...multiple times....and it still didn't appear.

Doesn't matter though since I installed it on another freshly installed practice cart and it's working. The problem with the first practice cart might have been either a conflict with another mod or the fact that I did the 1.3.5 to 1.3.6 upgrade on it using Fantastico.

Regardless.....looks good now. One thing that might be good with this mod is a customized checkout_success page and e-mail which explains the terms of the invoicing.

Thanks for making this mod. It could come in handy.

Interesting suggestions. Glad it worked out for you!

Scott

A small fix has been posted to bring this file up to the standard set by Dr. Byte in 1.3.5. Please upgrade if you are using this contribution.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

FANTASTIC JOB!!!! :clap:Ive been looking for a solution to the inv problem and then a mate e-mailed me a link to this thread. Ive just tested it out and it works a dream. Thank you! I only have one question and im pretty sure theres no easy way round it but ill ask anyway -

Is there a way of turning off the Flat Rate (Best Way) delivery charge just for those special customers of whom i have given the invoice option?

Its not a must but thought i would ask.

Cheers again.

Yes, but you'd have to write custom logic. PM me for details if interested.

I get this message when I try to select invoice for group pricing for customers:
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE customers_id = 3' at line 1
in:
[UPDATE customers SET WHERE customers_id = 3]

Hmm, I have Purchase Order and Inoice 2.0 installed. Invoice checks out as a payment method, but does not show up a checkout.

I have added test id to the group Invoice.

Be sure that not all products are virtual - if they are, invoice doesn't show up.

Thanks, this site has only one product - membership - as a hidden category and virtual.

I changed it, but now a shipping address is required for a membership so I will need to see if that will fly with the client.

You could just remove the check for virtual in the invoice payment module.

Ah, the pain of being new to Zen Cart.

Will give it a try, I am way better at CSS than PHP but will jump in and see if I can make sense of the module.

Thanks for your quick replies.

Great contribution! Works Great!

I was wondering, is there any way to set the default group to "invoice"? I have to go in every time and set the customer's group to "invoice" and that is becoming a pain in the rear. Every customer on my site should have the opportunity to pay by invoice and I don't want to slow their purchases down.

I apologize. I should have searched better. I found a post by swguy on another thread. Problem solved. Edited DB with phpMyadmin.

Thanks swguy!!

Hello,

How do I allow Invoice to be a global payment option? I can get individual customers set up quite easily, but allowing everyone to invoice is a conundrum :frusty: for me.

Thank you,

Just remove the logic that checks for the group name.
