Orders without payment

[pondera]

I would like to setup the cart so that it collects all the order and payment information and completes the order without actually charging the customer. I went to then be able to login and see all the order info (total due, what they ordered, etc). Does anyone know if there is a way to do this already, or if there is an easy solution without having to modify a lot of code?

osc already does what you want. All orders and their details are logged in Admin orders. The only thing you would have to do is change the checkout payment and checkout shipping to say something like Payment Details and Shipping Details instead. And for checkout confirmation just say something like Order Details Confirmation. You can add a message stating that no charges are applied at this time.

 

You may also want to change other displayed messages accordingly .. for example messages displayed by payment type modules etc.

 

The only thing you need to do is make sure you do not have any modules like Paypal or Authorizenet .. etc that directly process credit cards .. or that allow the customer to make any kind of payment to your account.

 

You can even keep the oscommerce credit card module active because it does not actually do any kind of card processing. It just does some basic checking if the card number is right etc. All the info will be stored for you to view in Admin Orders. But remember to delete the information when you have confirmed it (see various posts on storing credit card numbers and the liabilities).
