Payment options query

[MelodyW]

I have a query regarding payment options. I have set up an option 'invoice with order' which I have limited to a specific account which is fine. However, when this account comes to the payment page they are presented with a drop down box giving them the option of paying by credit card or invoice with order and all the boxes regarding credit card number, expiry date, etc show below. I don't want this account to have an option - I only want it to show invoice with order and I don't want the credit card boxes to appear on the screen.

I can't limit the 'payment by credit card' option as the majority of orders are placed by unregistered customers (and I want this to continue).

I am sure there is a work round this in one of the templates.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is possible as the 'Limit to Defined Customers' only means that this payment method will not be available to non-registered customers. I've asked our development team if there is a workaround and will post back as soon as I hear from them.

You can change the meaning of the customer account default payment method option to be the only availabel method for that account by a simple script customisation. All you need to do is to open ActinicOrder.pm in a plain text editor and find the following line in sub GenerateValidPayments

my @Response = ActinicOrder::GetAccountDefaultPaymentMethod($sDigest);

replace this line with the code below

@$parrMethods = ();
my @Response = ActinicOrder::GetAccountDefaultPaymentMethod($sDigest);

Save your changes and upload. Now account customers should have only one payment option what is defined on the account setup page.

I hope this helps.

Many thanks

I will try that out.

Hi

Thanks, have changed ActinicOrder.pm and now it only shows one payment method for an account which is great.

However, I have a user defined field in payment for 'name on credit card' - I have changed it so it is not required but it still shows even when someone is not paying by credit card. I need to hide this for accounts which are 'invoice with order'. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

See the knowledge base article here how to hide specific bits of HTML code from certain customers.

I hope this helps.
