 Hi, how would I get to configure the "other" payment option Ubercart? There's an option to turn it on or off in the "Payment Method Pack" Module. I want to edit it to try and add Moneybookers, or is there another use for this? Also, is there some sort of module to accept bank transfers?
Re: How to customise "other" in payment options?
Other is really just there for admins not for customers. Like if you create an order to replace a lost order, you can mark its payment type as other and leave a comment in the notes. It can't be modified to represent other methods. Do a search in the forums for "direct debit" to find posts about bank transfers.
Re: Re: How to customise "other" in payment options?
And also, is there a module, specially for editing your own custom gateway? Because I still need to get the moneybookers thing sorted and I have the code, but am not sure what to plug it in to? Here's the code: Its basically a form.
direct deposit payment method
I wish I was able to contribute a solution here, but all I can do is echo the problem. In Australia, most payments are made by direct deposit (not direct debit, where the seller takes money from the buyer, but direct deposit, where the buyer gives money to the seller). I need a way to, upon choosing "bank transfer" or "electronic funds transfer" at checkout, the total is emailed to the customer with the order confirmation and, and this is the important part, includes my banking details so they can make the payment (BSB and account number). Most of my customers choose to pay this way. I'm hoping there are enough Ubercart users who need this functionality that it's worth someone's time to make it. Loving the cart, outside of this one single issue! Thank you to everyone who contributes to it.
Re: direct deposit payment method
You can probably get by with enabling the "Other" payment method and using something like the String Overrides module to change it to say "Bank transfer" or something. Then copy/modify your invoice template to check the payment method and add the bank info to the e-mail you send your customers if applicable. You can also maybe post it elsewhere on the site. This should work as a temporary solution until a more specific module gets developed.
Re: Re: direct deposit payment method
Thank you for that. I've put the banking details on the FAQ page, and I've customized the confirmation email to include the details as well. I'd like to be able to have "bank transfer" instead of "other," so I'll see if I can figure out how to do that. Also, I put in the message box under payment options on the checkout page a short note to tell customers to choose Other, then review & submit, and they'll get instructions in the email. I wish I was able to fit more characters in that box, but I made it work. Perhaps shorter is better anyway. Thanks for the help.
need a similar to solution...
Hi Amy, Like you I would also like to be able to offer 'direct deposit' of money into my account (as the seller) for my potential new customers. In the meantime I think I will try what you have done. Are you not concerned however about having your banking details on a FAQ page? Could you tell me exactly where you enable the 'other' payment option. I thought it would be under the configuration for payment settings, but cannot see it there. Also, did you just edit the custom template for customers in the notification area of ubercart, or is there another way of sending a notification email to customers who select the 'other' payment method? Thanks very much if you have time to assist,
Changing the "other" payment method label
I actually think it does make sense to change the label of the "other" payment method. I submitted a patch to Ubercart which makes it possible to change the label, so you could easily change it to whatever you want. Give it a shot, and if it makes sense, please vote on it so it gets implemented in Ubercart. Thanks! |
