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

This describes the exact procedures for file placement for one of my mods:

Firstly, thank you very much for this mod, it works fabulously. I was wondering if it were possible to add multiple group pricings. For example, I have a customer that receives a 10% discount on all of his purchases, and we always bill him later since he is such a good customer. I can only add one group pricing tier per customer. Since this mod works within the Group pricing area in the admin, this customer of mine can only either get his 10% discount, or the Invoice option...is it possible to add both?

Thanks again for this mod, the company for whom I work felt that the Invoice option was very important.

Response by PM.

hi there, i greately appreciate this mod, one question since your a wiz :D
along with the INVOICE option, is it possible that along with invoice comes local delivery FOC
or would this mean changing the options round, so it goes to PAYMENT before delivery, and if u choose invoice, then local delivery is the only option, but if you choose CC/Cheque etc...then all options are available except local delivery FOC

Hi just want to say this is a great mod. And we use it successfully on our wholesale website. My question is can you help me out with a copy of this mod to allow for the check or money order.

I still want to have the invoice option but for some customers they want to pay by check and that is fine but we want this option on an approved basis only just like the invoice. But we don't want to give the impression that they can get invoice terms like some of our long standing customers get. Hence a second payment module.

Thanks

First I want to say thanks ! this MOD has saved my bacon on a project!
I have a question any idea on a way to hide other payment options if the customer is apart of the "invoice" group. So invoice only shows up?

thank you nice mod

i got it to work in group pricing per item but it was a pain in the but as i had to manually change 2 files manually

* /includes/extra_datafiles/group_price_per_item.php
* /admin/includes/extra_datafiles/group_price_per_item.php

define('GROUP_PRICE_PER_ITEM2', 'Invoice);

and then change the name of that group in customers/group pricing to invoice.

now i have to go throw each product and change add the prices for that group

but it will work

Love the mod but it appears to be unable to be used with 1.3.9.

Cheers

Robert

It works with 1.3.9.

That's odd. I could have sworn I went through your instructions word for word. It did install but there wasn't an invoice option for the payment section during checkout. If anyone else has had this issue, please tell me what you did to resolve it. Thanks

Cheers

Robert using ZC 1.3.9b

When you checkout, are you logged in as a user who is in a group whose name starts with "invoice"?

No, I thought you'd be asked that after you made a purchase. Let me go and do that and see what happens. Thanks.

That's fixed. Thanks. Let me post my problem here in case someone else has it.

Issue - "Invoice" does not appear as a valid payment method during checkout even when installed.

Solution - When you have a customer that wishes to be invoiced, go to that customer's information in "Admin ---> Customers ---> Customers" and edit the group pricing section to reflect the addition of him/her into the Invoice group of group pricing. This will fix your situation.

HI,

I have installed this mod in my new Webshop using v1.3.9f and it works great :) Thank you for this mod :)

I have one problem though. I am using this payment option for a a group of customers that don' t need to pay in advance, but I still need to provide them with Payment details somehow.

I am also using Direct_bank_transfer module, and here the customers see the Bank details when they checkout and also on the email footer they recieve.

So, Is it possible to add a message on the email footer so that I can add payment Terms and details?

Or any other solution?

Thank you for your help.

Hi swguy,

I have installed this on 1.3.9h, but it is not showing in the checkout_payment page.

I have added a group called invoice
I have invoice module turned on in Modules > Payment
I have set group pricing to 'invoice' using a test account

no idea why it wont work, but if I can get it to work it will be perfect for my project.

Thanks :)

DB

scrap last post, just figured it out.

My products are vertual and the invoice mod is set to false if cart is full over vertual product.

So for anyone else who sells vertual products and is wonding why it wont work for you.. do this.

open includes/modules/payment/invoice.php

find (line 65 for me)

// disable the module if the order only contains virtual products
      if ($this->enabled == true) {
        if ($order->content_type != 'physical') {
          $this->enabled = false;
        }

and replace with

// disable the module if the order only contains virtual products
      if ($this->enabled == true) {
        if ($order->content_type != 'physical') {
          $this->enabled = true;
        }

DB

Great addon :smile:
I want to make an addition; all my prices are inclusive of sales tax (VAT). Somewhere on the invoice I want to show the total of the sales tax as a single item.
This is just a simple mathematical calculation on the total Amount on the invoice. I can do this myself but so far as I see the calculation of the total Amount does not populate a variable that I could call and play with. :(
I attach a copy of the code below but I do not know enough about this coding to add something like populate a variable, for example, $Amount. :blush:
I checked around the various addons available but I did not find anything suitable :(
Help appreciated :smile:

v155 Character limit on MODULE_PAYMENT_INVOICE_TEXT_TITLE

When people select to pay by invoice I want to put my payment details on their invoice.

I do not want to print payment details on every invoice, only the ones that are not already paid (by paypal, credit cards, et.)
So I thought it would be a "good idea" to add my payment details to the definition of MODULE_PAYMENT_INVOICE_TEXT_TITLE.

So it now reads "Invoice for prepayment, goods are only shipped after payment Details for payment......."

This info is stored OK in my DB but only most of the first line is printed. I experimented with changing the content of the first line and it is clear there must be a fixed limit to the number of characters somewhere, but where! See example (in German language but same in English).

I am using the standard classic green template. I checked and have the same issue with my v1.5.1 site.

Thanks for any help.

<td align="right" class="'. str_replace('_', '-', $order->totals[$i]['class']) . '-Amount">' . $order->totals[$i]['text'] . '</td>' . "\n" .

Eventually I decided to use the standard options for showing tax on the invoice.
