Customer Credit

[Guest]

:thumbsup:

For some time now, I have been looking for a way to allow customers to add funds to their account in order for them to save time when making a purchase.

 

My idea is, once a customer has registerd, they are able to add funds to their account, the ammount would be displayed at the top of colum_left or colum_right.

Each time they make a perchase, the amount would be deducted from their account. Obviously, when there is not enough funds in their account to make a perchase, they would have to add more funds to their account before they could procead with the perchase, or, continue through the Normal checkout procedure.

 

I use PayPal as method of Payment so each time a registered customer adds funds to their account it would be done through PayPal.

 

Does anyone know of a script, free/commercial or if you are able create such a script yourself, I would gladly make a donation for their contribution.

 

I also think that this would make an exelent Add On to os commerce and would of benefit to a lot of users.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Interesting idea. The gift voucher contribution allows each customer to keep a balance in their account by buying gift vouchers.

 

The customer has the option of spending the gift voucher balance or using paypal when they purchase (if there is insufficent in the gift voucher balance, the rest comes out of PayPal).

 

It sounds a bit like what you describe and it's possible that with a bit of fiddling it could be made to do what you want. It depends how good you are with the fiddling I suppose!

 

Not really a solution to your idea... more a sort of work-around.

Hi Lucky,

Many thanks for the idea, unfortunatly, I am still going through the learning stage with PHP.

I have decided to upload a "Test Cart", add the Gift Voucher contribution to it, have a tweek about :-" and see what happens :'(

 

If Get it working as i want it to, I will certainly give you a call and let you be the first to try it :thumbsup:

 

Thanks again for the idea
