Bank Transfer as a Payment method

[awyckma]

Hi,

I am setting up a new payment method, a bank transfer, as a new payment method.

The method has the following conditions: Afte the customer places his order he/she should get additional instructions at the end of the order with some instructions to follow like the account number to transfer the money to, the ordernumber to use, etc.

I was think to re-use of the predefined methods like the 'check or money order' because we do not use/offer this kind of payment.

I saw some threads about this posted by Jamie explaing how to make changes in the code etc.

Are these explinations the right ones to follow to adapt.create the payment method I want?

Thanks,

Hi Alex,

Yes, you could certainly follow that documentation. The tricky part is collecting that information, and passing it somewhere.

Did you get this to work?

I guess the procedure may have changed for v2 but I also need a bank credit option - all it needs is for the bank details to appear in place of address info as with cheque payment?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

This page of the documentation explains how to create a custom payment method:

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for your help above. I've done a custom page modelled off the check.php page. I've called it deposit.php for people to do an internet bank transfer. I folowed the instructions fine and it appears during the checkout.

The problem is when I select the radio button for it and click continue, it does some thinking but stays on the same page. The only thing I've added was the $SC['complete_order'] = 1; at the top of the page and entered our bank details.

Thanks for your help,
Marty

Have you been able to fix this problem?

I have tried to do a similar thing and I followed the instructions and the Type field resets when I go back in to edit the payment method

Hi there,

No unfortunately I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Maybe someone else might be able to suggest something to us?

Kind regards,
Marty

I was just wondering if there is a bi of code we could add to set the initial status of this payment to 'payment pending'?

Cheers,
Marty

The call to complete_order() handles that, along with completing the order. Calling it like this makes the default status payment pending:
<?php complete_order(0,0,7); ?>

Parameters are as follows:
Purpose:
Execute all the code that needs to run after a successfull order placement (place_order.func)

Input Parameters:
$no_order_detail (boolean) prevent order detail from appearing
$no_order_email (boolean) Setting this to 1 will keep the customer from being emailed
$status_rn (integer) Optional - set to an integer representing a status you want to assign to the order

Return Paramters:
returns the order record number
