Was this information Helpful?

I am in the process of converting our company's wholesale site to Drupal. I have a few questions that I need to get answered so I will know if this is going to work for me and Ubercart will do what I need to accomplish.

Customer approval and sign up process – no access to online catalog until we’ve approved them
(this shouldnt be a problem accomplishing through drupal itself)

Minimum order total of $150

Minimum order quantities. (min qty will differ depending on product and category)

Ability to process a credit card without actually charging it (I just need to verify its a valid # then run it later once the order is processed. This works best because the site will not be tied into our accounting database.)

Module to allow for email campaigns (this is a plus but not a must have)

Module for coupon or promotion codes

Module for Additional responses when filling out order form and signup form (how they heard about us, type of store, etc.)

Thanks in advance for any info you guys can provide.

Re: Can Ubercart do what I need

Most of what you need can be accomplished by various core and contributed modules. For example, you don't have to give anyone access to your Drupal site who isn't logged in (it's how Drupal uses user roles). Ubercart has a built-in minimum order subtotal feature, but you'd have to come up with your own minimum quantity.

Ubercart does let you authorize cards without actually charging them and then charge them later through a form. It only does this for certain supported payment gateways, though, like Authorize.net. Under no circumstances will Ubercart hang onto the full card data for you to process later manually... it's just not secure.

There are modules for some of your other requirements, too, like Simple News for newsletters, UC Coupon / Discount Framework for discount coupons, etc. Best of luck!

vs e-commerce

For someone just learning drupal do you think Ubercart is more user friendly than Drupal's e-commerce module?

Checkout Issue with authorizing charges

We're in the final stages of setting up our Ubercart store and a critical payment issue has arisen. My client does not want credit cards charges authorized until the shipment is ready.

Authorize.net says they have an option that permits credit cards charges to not be authorized immediately, subject to a 30 day maximum at which time, they will be authorized automatically. Unfortunatly, this option is not available at "admin/store/settings/payment/edit/gateways".

Authorize.net settings
This gateway supports the following payment methods: Credit card
Default credit transaction type:
Authorization only
Authorize and capture immediately

How can we implement this option?

I thought that "debug mode" kept full numbers for offline processing, unless this was removed in UC2 (hope not!).
