Late fees, and payment gateway

[sherwin_flight]

Hello,

 

Just a quick question, so I understand how this situation would work.

 

We use 2checkout to process our credit card payments. We also use their fraud checking tools, so WHMCS invoices are not marked as "Paid" until the 2co fraud check passes. This is usually pretty quick, but I've read that sometimes it can take a couple of hours.

 

I've thought of a situation though, where this could be an issue, so wanted to make sure I understand how it would work.

 

Say a user has an overdue invoice, and we have WHMCS set to add late fees on day 10, just as an example. Let's say on that 10th day the user logs in, and sees the total of the invoice, and makes a payment using 2checkout for the total amount.

 

What happens if the CRON runs, and adds the late fees to the invoice, before the 2checkout fraud checked is passed, and the invoice marked as paid? The total returned from 2checkout would then be less than the total on the invoice, so the invoice wouldn't be marked as paid by WHMCS I assume?

Hi,

In that situation the invoice would not be marked as paid, as the late fee would increase the balance to such that the payment would not cover it once it passed the 2CO fraud check.
