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

marton_1:

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.)

I would suggest modifying the invoice rather than doing what you are doing.

Forgot to reply, turned out that modifying the invoice to to show payment details only on invoices for the invoice payment method was easy to do.
Good suggestion!

I have been using this plug in for some time.
Now I tried setting a discount but the discount does not show up in the final price

I made the change in invoice.php to allow all customers to select payment by invoice, maybe this causes the problem?

	// fix the group check, change to true MH
       if ($check_flag_group == false) {
        $this->enabled = true;

I want to give a single (same) discount to every customer, maybe I could just set a variable with my required %?

I did not explain well! 
If I manually add a customer to the group named invoice then the discount shows up OK.  

I had hoped that my change in invoice.php to allow all customers to select "payment by invoice" would also give the discount defined in the group named invoice to all customers who had selected payment by invoice.  Sadly this did not work for me.
Is there a way to do this?

Invoice is a payment module.
There is a discounting module that discounts by payment method that you can use to associate a discount with payment method invoice.

Great thanks

Good tip, thanks

Easy to install, works fine, does exactly what I wanted.

Thanks again.

Sort of off topic but anyway!
There are companies around that buy your invoices for a % of the sale amount and then they handle the debt collection.

Trick is to find companies who already have a zen cart plugin to manage the invoicing process, any experiences or recommendations to share?

BTW, good to see this Invoice Payment Method plug in was updated for v156. The Forum Support Thread link for this plugin does not point to this threadè

Does anyone have this functioning with ZC 1.5.7?

Take a look at this thread, https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?227622-Invoice-Payment-Method-V-23Dec2018-Installation-issue
I am getting there slowly but not 100%.

This works fine with v1.5.7: Offsite Payment
It offers the payment option for everyone, based on Geo Zone, not based on Group Pricing. Otherwise does basically the same thing.
Depends on your needs.

Added a fix to prevent PHP notices when the module was not installed but you visit Admin > Modules > Payment.

I have this module running nicely in v1.5.7 so customers can pay the invoice within a 14 day period. For other customers I want to add -for example- a 30 day option with its own title definition so the amount of days is also stated on the invoice. How can I do this?

Clone this module to create a new one (say invoice30).

These instructions are for cloning a shipping module but payment modules have basically the same steps (except for the quote() function).

Ah as easy as that, totally Zen :)
Thank you!!

Works perfectly for my needs, thank you so much.

I'm getting undefined array key warnings when using the invoice payment method. Logs show:
Undefined array key "customer_id" in includes/modules/payment/invoice.php on line 51, and
Undefined array key "customers_group_pricing" in includes/modules/payment/invoice.php on line 54.
The warnings come up when the order detail page is brought up in the admin. No problem when the customer checks out.
The problem is that $_SESSION['customer_id'], used in line 51, is not set when the order class methods are called from the admin. That causes customers_group_pricing to not be set on line 54. My fix is to replace line 51 with the two lines shown below:

$customer_id = isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) ? $_SESSION['customer_id'] : $order->customer['id'];
$group_query = $db->Execute("select customers_group_pricing from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "'");

Unfortunately, customer_id is not available in the order object when the customer checks out (not sure why it's not set in the cart method of the order class), but it is available in the $_SESSION. Looks like the order class has changed in zc158 and customer_id is available in $order->info.
Hope this helps someone.

zc 157c, PHP 8.0.22

Will get this fixed in June. Thanks for reporting.

The Invoice payment method has been updated for PHP versions up to 8.2.
