Make order pause for shipping

[fluentmedia]

I need help. Can someone point me to a module that will allow me, regardless of what payment method (credit card, paypal, etc), to have the order submit without shipping to administration (including paypal) and then allow administration to place the shipping amount in? Once administration has placed the shipping amount in, then allow the administration to kick it back to the customer to finish payment?

 

TIA

Sorry... I should have told you "manual order entry" instead of "order editor" because you would have to create a separate order...

Here's what I was thinking of when I mentioned the above module...

 

1. Create a payment module similar to "cash" but name it something like "payment after shipping quote" so they will not be charged, but you still have the prices from the products.

2. Create a shipping module called "request for quote"

3. Use the "individual shipping" contrib or "individual payment" contrib to limit specific products to the above payment/shipping modules

4. Customer submits an order which will take them to the above shipping/payment modules and they don't pay

5. Create a status called "payment required"

6. Create a product called "Order Sub-Total" or something similar that you don't put in any category so it will not show in catalog - this is the sub-total from the original order as one "product"

7. Manually create a new order using "manual order entry" contrib above and add the "Order Sub-Total" product with the sub-total of the original order appended to it

8. You will need to use the contribs in #3 above to specify the payment and shipping module that you do want to be charged to this newly created order

9. Change status from "pending" to "payment required"

10. In the original order, send a "comment" to the customer that says "waiting for payment" and reference the order # of the NEW order; also additional instructions about the payment and shipping modules you chose from step 8 as well as instructions for the next few steps...

 

Then this is where it gets tricky... and I don't know if this will work, just my quick thoughts...

There is a contrib that you would need to install called "Restore Order For Customer Change V1"

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1161

 

This is what it does:

Allows the admin/customer delete an order that hasnt reached a set status.

The order then gets placed in the customers basket for them to change and resubmit.

 

11. In order for this to work, specify the status where the customer will not be able to delete the order. You should set this to "delivered" or something like that.

12. Direct the customer to the new order and "delete" it (maybe change that to "re-submit") -- you can't use "make payment" because I think it will also show in all pending quote orders

13. It's important that you don't put anything in the new order that you don't want to lose, so make sure to only have the "Order Sub-Total" product in there

14. The "Order Sub-Total" will then be in the customer's cart and direct them to proceed to checkout

15. They will pay for the sub-total of the original submitted order and then this "Order Sub-Total" product will direct them to pay via the specified payment/shipping modules you specified in #8

 

Just my quick thoughts using already existing contribs so that you won't have to mess around with osCommerce too much on your own...

 

I hope it gives you some ideas.
