Disable Automatic Charge on New Orders

[acenetryan]

I've been through the documentation and the forums search, but I can't seem to find where to modify this setting. I would like to allow new orders to be submitted and the credit card details to be entered, but I don't want the transaction submitted to the payment gateway until the order is manually approved.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction?

when you create a product under Module settings, at the botton check "Automatically setup the product when you manually accept a pending order." this will accept the order, set this to pending for you to manually check and accept, once you accept the client will be sent an invoice.

That doesn't quite do what I'm asking. That option will set the account up when I approve a pending order. However, the order will have already charged the first invoice before I approve it in WHMCS. Additionally, that only applies to Products/Services that have a corresponding module. For VPS/Dedicated that wouldn't be an option.

 

I'm looking to prevent the first invoice from being sent altogether upon order. Is this possible? To clarify, here's how the order process would go:

 

-------------------------------

Client orders service, puts in payment information.

Invoice created, payment information recorded.

Order is set to pending.

Admin approves or rejects order.

If approved, the first invoice is sent to the payment gateway and corresponding module actions fire.

-------------------------------

 

It's not a big deal, I can void the transactions when I see fraudulent purchases made, but, ideally, I'd want to avoid contacting the payment gateway at all when I know an order is fraud.

There isn't an option for this.

This is almost a requirement for us to avoid fraud - anyone know if this is possible? Is there an addon?

This is an old thread but is there an update on this?

IOW, is there a way to NOT automatically charge the invoice that is initially created when an order is placed but still in "Pending"?
