pay with cheque

[pinbrook]

what option are people using to allow people to send a cheque with order. I thought of using Invoice with order, but I'd want to put some extra text on the final invoice page to tell people to print off the page and send it with their cheque

Hi Jo
I use payment on account.
When I run through the checkout phase, the final confirmation page has wording on the top, asking the customer to print off the page as it is their receipt.

I use the Invoice and pay before delivery, download the order, print the packing list, change the payment method to awaiting card info (to stop the Invoice being printed) and add a note to say that I'm waiting for a cheque, change it back when the cheque arrives, pack the goods, apply the payment, print the invoice!

I also changed the receipt page text to cover what to do in each payment situation, If you did this please do this, etc so if they chose to mail their card details why not phone instead because it's quicker for them - just thought if they chose to pay by cheque why not ask them to phone in some card details instead - anyways just sort out the words to what works best for what you are trying to achieve.

I also amended customer email to something like:
If you did NOT enter your card details via our website, please mail, fax or telephone the payment details to us or you may have chosen to mail your cheque payment to us. Please write your order number on the back of your cheque.

PS. If it is a commercial transaction do not forget to send a valid VAT invoice as the receipt is technically just a statement saying that an order has been received!

i use the 'invoice with order' option but changed the text to say 'send cheque with order'.

I then added a line to the email that gets sent saying 'if you selected the 'send cheque with order' option, please print out this email and send with acheque for the correct amount to the address below'.

So far it seems to work OK.
