Don't need to process payments, just email orders

[Guest]

Hello,

 

This is my first time implementing a osCommerce site and it is comming a long quite well.

 

My client doesn't need to process payments, he wants all orders emailed to him and he will take care of the payments. How can I get this setup?

 

Thanks,

That depends on what you mean by having the orders emailed to him. Does that include the credit card number? Because if so, I advise against it. That's going to get you sued when someone steals the credit card number.

 

If it doesn't, and he's just planning on letting his customers buy with checks or whatever, just set his email up in admin -> configuration -> send extra emails to. It'll give him a copy of the receipt.

 

You can also modify checkout_process here:

 

 // send emails to other people
 if (SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO != '') {
tep_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO, EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
 }

 

Add more information to his emails by modifying $email_order. Then, well, you could always disable orders.php if he really doesn't want to be able to check the orders in the admin. I can't see why anyone would bother, though.

Thanks,

 

Each customer on the site will be known before they are allowed access to the store. The site has been setup such that new visitors are required to enter an activation code in order to create a new account.

 

I will not need to pass any credit card information through the email, just notify the store owner of a new order.

 

Is there anyway I can remove the payment processing & shipping page? Just go straight to the confirmation page?

 

Thanks,

Ah, I see. That makes more sense to me. This thread may be a good starting point for that.
