We do plan on supporting offline payments in the 'pro' version.

Hi Scott
Just been trying some workarounds with offline payments.
For cash sales I use the shipping options box and added the descriptions "cash sale" and "customer collect" with zero shipping cost. The items are selected as usual and when you display the cart it totals the order and shows "cash sale" shipping £0.00.
The customer pays cash and then use the print cart to print a cash sale invoice. This works fine for offline cash sales.

Would it be possible to add an option on the base version at some time in the future to allow an option to email the order as well as print order.

This would provide a facility to allow online "customer on account" or "customer collect" facility which allows customers to raise an online order and then come in to collect the order and pay cash/cheque.
It could work as follows.
Customer enters order on line but instead of going onto online payment they email the order details with an option to have the order delivered as payment on account or customer to collect.
You would need to store an email address for the customer to send order to:
and facility to enter customer name and address.

I don't see an e-mail option coming anytime soon. Once we offer that, it opens a very large can of worms with email clients, servers and countless other problems.

So someday... maybe... ;)


Come on Scott, It's only the same issues as FormBuilder surely.... What sort of issues could it cause :P

So far as I know, the BEST way to handle offline payments at this time, is to have the customer fill their cart, print it out/print to PDF and e-mail it to you. Then you can process it as you wish.

I know, it's not perfect, but it works.


Hi Phil
Great tip used it and works a treat for cash sale customers. I also use the shipping options and set up a description Cash Sale with £0.00 shipping cost.
and it prints on the order.

Any thoughts how I could get an online customer to enter an order but instead of printing the order I would like them to email the order and bypass the on line payment.

Only thing I can think of right off top, Dave, is to print to PDF. Then attach the PDF to an e-mail to you. Yes it is a bit of work for the customer, but if they are not paying on-line, they are probably not expecting full automation of the order.

Hi Phil
I also found a simple way to email the cart content page. If you select File then select "send "from the drop down menu there is an option "page by email". You can then email the cart contents. It works with Microsoft Outlook/Express but not tested for other email providers eg AOL Yahoo etc yet. If this works its a reasnable workaround.

If I recall properly, I tested this type of process with Gmail and it did NOT work. This would be a great workaround for those with a "standard" e-mail program though.

Unfortunately, I still do not understand why offline payment with the contents of the order in an email cannot be done via the shop. I do not want to have customers to print out their order and to send it to me.
I do not need any credit card detail.

Presently, I used a work around with a separate page where the client can choose online payment via the shop or offline payment via a form (with email capabilities).

This is of course a pity of my nice shop.

The email option in forms has not given me any problems at all. I would apreciate to have this type of offline payment in shopping cart creator.
Scott could Coffecup take this into consideration?

great to hear. Even a link under the Print link in the cart that says "Email Cart" that would send the cart contents to the admin would be great.

Thanks
