big of an interesting one. We do take credit cards but dont want to do it online as we have a cc machine in the office. what i want is an option along with cash on delivery for credit card over the phone. They can select this and then we will give them a call and take the details. Is there an easy way i can add an option in like this?

The first thing is to check with your bank (merchant account) and see if they will permit this. Most will forbid it, as web transactions are much higher risk than in-person credit card transactions. Based on your history with them, maybe they'll extend you a reasonable rate. Just do not go and start taking credit cards in an unauthorized manner. Now, if you do currently do telephone sales, and take orders over the phone, maybe your bank will consider this to be the same risk and allow you to do it. But ask them first.

ah thank you that is a good point. i will have to ask. i would want to do this anyway, so assuming they will grant / we find a bank that will, how can i go about adding an option? just the same as the cash on delivery but i guess renamed

For a coder, this payment method is similar to "cash on delivery", you can copy and modify the "cash on delivery", just some text changes.

As a not so good / noob programmer are there any pointers? or can you help me out?

You just have to change the description text in the supplied language file from the cash on delivery contribution, you don't need to a programmer to do that....

Ah ok well that is a good step in the right direction. The other thing is that at the other end, in the admin section i need to see that they have selected the pay by phone option, what do i have to change for that?

If you change all the text that refers to COD to say Phone order. or whatever you want it to say. Then enable the COD option for checkout.

 

The customer will see Phone Order

and in admin it will show 'Phone Order' instead of COD.
