Charging a credit card with a Manual Order within OSC

[Kenja]

I have an employee that does a lot of manual orders on my site. I want to give him the ability to enter an order and charge the credit card. However, the only way I've found to do that is to use the Authorize.net Virtual Terminal. I can't give the guy the password because then he can do anything he wants with my account. I'm getting tired of having to run the cards and when I'm out of office, things come to a halt.

 

Has anyone developed a mod for charging a credit card manually from within OSC?

 

Thanks,

Kenja

Manual processing is manual processing. You get the csrd number and you process it outside of osc. Your solution is to do real time processing.

His point is that if there was a contribution where he could process the card using OSC, his employee wouldn't be able to get into his financial information.

 

Best advice: hire people you can trust.

 

Second option is to do what SteveDallas does and create an account in your store where you choose the products, fill in the information, and checkout. The best way to do this would be to use one of contributions that allows you to order products by entering their product IDs + Purchase Without Account.

That's exactly what we do for most of our manual orders. That said, we sometimes negotiate package pricing or shipping discounts and there is no good way to handle that through the store front.

 

I agree about the hiring folks you can trust thing. There are plenty of ways an employee can skim off the top. I just don't want to give them enough info (banking info, personal info, etc) to be able to head off to Mexico with everything I've got.

 

Since there doesn't seem to be anything out there I think I'll create a contribution that allows you to enter an order # and the customers CC info to charge for that order. I should be able to just copy the curl call from the Authorize.net contrib. Not a difficult thing to do. I'm just surprised nobody else has done it, yet. Was hoping for a quick fix.

I didn't find anything that existed already, so I wrote my own module. If anyone is interested it is called - Authorize.net Manual Payment
