Can I send specific/targeted invoice? PLEASE HELP!

I'll try to be brief.

 

Had Paypal, got banned (adult material), installed authorize.net, all is right with the world excpet for one thing... I cannot send individual personalized invoices.

 

Here's the current process:

 

1. Buyer adds items to cart.

2. Buyer checks-out and used authorize.net gateway

3. Payment authorized (hopefully) and buyer returns to site to download products bought

 

That is fine most of the time. Here's my problem... I sometimes work out bulk deals or give my repeat buyers occasional discounts. What I have done in the past is work out the deal with my buyer, send a Paypal invoice (no longer an option), and they pay, and I manually put their items together and send to them (or mail if real paperback). I can no longer do any of this, and I don't think I can send individual invoices from authorize.net.

 

Here's how I think it COULD work, if I just knew how to do it.

 

1. Customer & I talk, we work out whatever deal we work out.

2. I log into my back-office, create a specific invoice for this specific buyer/deal.

3. Send buyer a link to the created invoice.

4. Buyer pays, authorize.net still utilized for verification and funds transfer.

5. I receive notification that payment made and I send the buyer their items.

 

Is there a contribution or anything that addresses my need?

 

Thanks in advance and my apologies if anything was confusing.

 

Sincerely, Greg

You could use Manual Order Maker but that contribution is for v2.2 so you will have to update it to work with v2.3.x. That allows you to create an order in the customers cart and then send them an email asking them to log in and make payment for it.

For any having this same issue, I have a simple work-around. I just created a folder on my site called 'CUSTOM ORDERS'. When I strike a deal, I just create a 'product' under my 'CUSTOM ORDERS' category and put in the price. Sort of like an invoice contained within a 'product'. Working for me! Figured I'd share. Pretty simple solution, can't believe it took me a few days to come up with it. We all have our weaknesses. :)
