Digital Downloads - pay by cheque

[Paragon]

We have a number of digital downloads available to buy via our web-site. However if they choose to pay by cheque the receipt page gives them the relevant download link and I have to just hope they are honest enough to send payment.
Is there a workaround to stop this payment method on digital download purchases? Or to remove the download link on the receipt page for cheque payments?

I'd rather not remove the payment by cheque option as this does get used by a number of regular customers.

Thanks
Steve

Receipt e-mail

Sorry just realised its the receipt e-mail that contains the download link.
Can this link be disabled/removed if paying by cheque??

[Paragon]

Can I assume from the lack of answers that this can't be done?
Surely someone else uses digital downloads with a payment by cheque option?

Just checking to see if this is possible.

Hi,

I have taken this from v7 solution on the commmunity and made the appropriate changes to it for it work in v8.

I would adivce that you take a snapshot of your site for backup before attempting this.

The steps you need to make are as follows:
With in the site folder, locate and open ActinicOrder.pm in a plain text editor such as 'notepad' and locate the function 'GenerateValidPayments'

You should see a line:

foreach $nMethodID (@arrFullList)

Add the following lines above this:

my $bOnlyCC = $::FALSE; my @Response = $::Session->GetCartObject(); if ($Response[0] == $::SUCCESS) { my $pCartObject = $Response[2]; my $pCartList = $pCartObject->GetCartList(); @Response = ACTINIC::GetDigitalContent($pCartList, $::TRUE); $bOnlyCC = ((scalar (keys %{$Response[2]}) > 0)) ? $::TRUE : $::FALSE; }

Now below that line, just above the line:

if ($$::g_pPaymentList{$nMethodID}{ENABLED})

add the following

if ($bOnlyCC && ($nMethodID != 10005)) { next; }

This is supposed to restrict payment to the inbuilt Actinic CC. If you are using any other payment method for CC then use the ID of that instead of 10005 in the condition above (you can check this ID in the DB, it is in PaymentMethods table).

The usual disclaimer applies when it comes to perl script changes (Actinic doesn't support this so it is very important you take a back of the perl script file before making this change).

Hope this helps.

I guess it makes sense to remove this as a payment option...after all paying by cheque for a digikal download would be slightly ironic....
