Can This Be Done?

[randy1]

Hi,
Using Version 9

Can Actinic be set up for someone to pay an invoice online, is there a plugin? The customer would enter their invoice# and then go to checkout. Payments would be for a service.

Thanks
Randy

Not really. Paypal and Nochex (at least) have a facility whereby you can have the customer pay a variable amount from a link you have created and then they can enter a reference being the invoice number. There's no other way to my knowledge to do it with a true PSP.

Working examples of this using Paypal and Nochex...

eg for Nochex:

<a href="http://www.nochex.com/payme.asap?email=xxx@domain.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="MyNochexImage.gif" alt="Make payments with Nochex - it's fast, free and secure!" /></a>

or for Paypal:

<form center="" target="_blank>
    <div align=" method="post" action="https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr" name="_xclick">
          <div align="center">
            <input type="hidden" value="_xclick" name="cmd"/>
            <input type="hidden" value="xxx@domain.com" name="business"/>
            <input type="hidden" value="GBP" name="currency_code"/>
            <br/>
	        Payment Reference: 
	        <input type="text" value="Type reference here" name="item_name"/>
            <br/>
            <br/>
            Payment Amount: 
            <input type="text" value="Type amount to pay here" name="amount"/>
            <br/>
            <br/>
            <input border="0" type="image" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" name="submit" src="MyPaypalImage.gif"/>
          </div>
</form>

You can set up a generic product called invoice payment that they can purchase x of, where each one might cost a £1 or you can set the customers up with a login and then set up products for their invoices that are only visible to them.

I also think that Normal might have a plugin or customisation that allows the buyer to enter the price of an item - not sure on that one though.

He has a "by the metre" plug-in which could be modified accordingly.

The only issue with this is trusting people to enter the correct amount.
