Direct Deposit payment method?

[nitro]

I'd like to add a new payment method - pretty much a duplicate of Mail In, but I wouldn't mind adding a field for the customer to input their payment ID / receipt.

 

I just tried to duplicate the mailin.php payment script but that is obviously not the way to do it - will I have to write my own script or is there something in existence I can use to do this?

 

Thanks.

OK, being impatient I'm close to finishing the module myself. I'm a bit confused as to what I should be using in the:

 

function #####_link($params) { 
$code='Code Goes Here...'; 
return $code; 
}

part of the module as I don't actually want the form to post anywhere - well, only to record the details in my form in to the WHMCS db.

 

So far I have this (untested) code:

 

<?php 

# Direct Deposit Method Payment Gateway Module 

$GATEWAYMODULE["directdepositname"]="directdeposit"; 
$GATEWAYMODULE["directdepositvisiblename"]="Direct Deposit"; 
$GATEWAYMODULE["directdeposittype"]="Invoices"; 

function directdeposit_activate() { 
defineGatewayField("directdeposit","textarea","receipttext","Please enter the receipt details for your payment here: ","Receipt Text","","The instructions you want to be displayed to customers who choose this payment method"); 
defineGatewayField("directdeposit","yesno","demomode","","Demo Mode","",""); 
} 

function directdeposit_link($params) { 
$code=' 
<form action="" method="post"> 
<input type="hidden" name="company_name" value="'.$params['companyname'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_amount" value="'.$params['amount'].'"> 
'.$params['receipttext'].'<textarea name="x_Receipt Details" 
value="" rows="8" cols="30" /> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_First_Name" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['firstname'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_Last_Name" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['lastname'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_Email" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['email'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_Address" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['address1'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_City" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['city'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_State" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['state'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_Zip" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['postcode'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_Country" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['country'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_Phone" 
value="'.$params['clientdetails']['phone'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_login" value="'.$params['vendornumber'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="x_invoice_num" value="'.$params['invoiceid'].'"> 
<input type="hidden" name="fixed" value="Y"> 
<input type="hidden" name="c_tangible" value="Y">'; 
if ($params['demomode']=="on") { $code.='<input type="hidden" name="demo" 
value="Y">'; } 
$code.=' 
<input type="submit" value="'.$params['langpaynow'].'"> 
</form>  
'; 
return $code; 
} 

?>

 

Any input / corrections would be appreciated.

You would need to do something like this:

 

function #####_link($params) { 
$code='Please make cheques payable to xxx and send to WHMCS, PO Box 911, London, W12 6PA'; 
return $code; 
}

Cool thanks, but what if I wanted to capture a note from them as a part of the transaction - ie. they would have to paste in the bank transaction reference / receipt details for their payment. Would I need to post the form to to a callback script?

 

I would only want to offer this payment method to existing clients - it's actually how most of them pay for hosting and consulting services at the moment. Matching up payments to invoices on the bank statements can get a bit confusing for the bookkeeper when there are multiple payments open.

 

I guess we could just enforce a policy of "your payment will be applied to the oldest open invoice" but that is sure to annoy some customers.

You'd need to display a link, which opened an url where you've created your own script to take the transaction reference from them.
