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

Thank you for the quick reply,

I am still new to ZenCart. When you say remove the logic, do you mean, go and remove it from the code as with if statements, etc... or is there a setting that controls logic for modules within ZenCart.

Thank you

I installed the invoice, but cannot see it in my admin payment modules. I saw a post earlier with this same problem, but no solutions were ever given - please help.

I also would like to know how to make it a global option - you say something about removing the logic - that makes absolutely no sense to those of us that are new at php, please explain exactly what needs done to do this.

Discovered the bug with not being able to see the module in the admin area when adding to an already installed site. File is in the wrong place and needs to be in /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions instead of /includes/languages/english/modules/payment - all appears to be working just fine now.

For anybody else that needs help with making this module global for all users and doesn't want to pay $60 for the contributor's help that I was offered through a private message after I asked for help on this board.

I changed a simple setting and it appears to have done the trick

Change code in this file:
/includes/modules/payments/invoice.php

Find Code:
if ($check_flag_group == false) {
$this->enabled = false;

Change to:
if ($check_flag_group == false) {
$this->enabled = true;

I hope this helps somebody - like the forum is supposed to.

Can anyone confirm that this module works with 1.3.8?

yes, it works with 1.3.8.

thankz for this mod! it works great for me! may i know how do i hide other payment mods when invoice is enabled? other option is: how do i let it as default payment (auto-selected)

thankz a lot!

Hi, i've installed Invoice and it works perfecty. Great Job!
I was wondering if it's possible to charge more than standard price when using this option... The concept is that if you pay cash you get a discount but if you use the "bill me later" option you pay more.
Thanks in advance

There's nothing built in to invoice to do this. I believe a contribution has been created recently which adds a surcharge for certain payment methods - this could be used to do what you want.

Hi,

I have installed your invoice mod in ZC1.3.8a. Works like a breeze!!! Matt rightfully raised a problem a while ago where he wants disabling flat rate delivery when the customer has the invoice option? Was there any further progress on this? I would love to see this bit of custom code as well. Can you help out? Thanks heaps,
Ed

This is not a problem, it's a request for customization. You are welcome to email me your RFP.

Can you use this module to have the admin/store owner generate the invoice by typing an amount and sending that to a customer to pay through paypal? Some of what we sell at our store is a service, but the price of the service is not always the same, so we would need to enter that amount (not the customer) and then given an invoice or order number, have the customer go into the website and pay the invoice. Can this module do this? If not, is anyone aware of a service/module that would integrate with zen cart to provide this type of functionality? Thank you.

No. This is a payment module for Zen Cart checkouts; that's all.

Ok what about Can you use this module to have the admin/store owner generate the invoice by typing an amount and sending that to a customer to pay through zencart?

I am also interested in custom invoice amount entering into the invoice . We do repairs on our products and I like to send them an invoice prior to shipping their goods. Is it possible with this mod swguy?

I've installed this module, added a new Group called "invoice" and can see it from the admin backend but when I go to place an order, I don't get the option to select invoice as a means of payment. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Arthur

Using standard Zen 1.3.8 with Easy Populate only installed.

Did you put a customer in the group?

There are 4 steps to making this mod work:

1. Install the two files
2. Make sure that ot_group_pricing is installed in Modules > Order Total
3. Go to Customers > Group Pricing and create a group. The name must start with the word "Invoice", but can have anything you want after that.
4. Go into Customers > Customers and place the desired customers into the Invoice group by editing their record and selecting the group from the drop-down menu at the bottom.
   The choice to pay by invoice will now appear to all customers who are in that group. If you want it to be a global option, where all customers are given the option, the instructions on how to do that can be found in message #24 in this thread.

I haven't installed this yet. I'd first like to know, if a customer selects "invoice" and then later decides he wants to pay for the order by credit card, can he log into his account and pay the bill?

No. This is just a payment method. What you're asking for would be significantly more complicated.

Hi,

I'm having an issue when using this addon in conjunction with the "Group pricing (per item)" addon.

To fill you in with how our business works, we only sell to the trade, not to the general public, therefore each customer must be approved before going live. Depending on the customers spending level and whether they have a credit account with us or not, they are put into a relevant pricing tier.

The "Group pricing (per item)" addon allows you to set a price by line according to the customers "discount group" rather than a percentage off all items which is how I believe discount groups normall work.

Customers in non "invoice" prefixed discount group do not have an issue, they see the correct price within the store & that price is copied accross to the shopping cart. The problem comes for customers in discount groups prefixed with "invoice". where as the price is show correctly within the store, but on the shopping car, the price reverts to the standard price for the item.

Is there anything I can do to overcome this?

I have tried to install the invoice Mod on my test site, v1.3.8 but have not been able to get it to work. The instructions say to cony the contents of the invoice folder to the root directory.

My test site is running under Xampp with the directory located in hotdocs as store. Do I place the two files called invoice.php in the store directory. The two files are further down the tree in two other directories. I am a bit confused. Any suggestions.

Thanks
