Sam-AUST Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 A lot of websites are now offering payments where the customer buys now, pays later with no interest on the payments. There's a couple of services in Australia doing these type of payments and I've seen people all over the web talking about them. The merchants I know offering it via other shopping carts see up to 60% of their payments done that way. After a long google search, I can see another seller asking about a payment module for this type of payment and freelance jobs asking for them but that's about it. Does anyone out there know of a module for either of these companies being in the works, including commercial modules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankl Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 @@Sam-AUST I'm looking into these myself Sam. Afterpay charges 4-6 percent plus 30 cents per transaction, which is quite steep. ZipPay charges 1-4% (depends on the volume of transactions) plus 15 cents per transaction which is better, but isn't as large as Afterpay so may be a risk. I'll keep you posted.

Sam-AUST Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 G'day Doug, although there are modules for other carts, apparently Afterpay is not really offering any help with at the moment with developing modules as they are already over-committed in other areas. I am so keen to use it, I have heard it increases sales like you wouldn't believe. It might help if Australian merchants on here were expressing an interest so we could show demand. douglaswalker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglaswalker Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) @@Sam-AUST Maybe we could see how many AU merchants on here would be interested in Zipay or Afterpay..get together and get one coded? Or is there a module for another cart we can get our hands on to see what needs to be done? Edited April 1, 2017 by douglaswalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankl Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I would do it but I need credentials. Afterpay won't offer developers sandbox credentials as their support staff are currently "overworked", so need someone to actually apply for a merchant account before anything can happen. douglaswalker 1 Quote osCommerce user since 2003!

We'll let you know when this policy changes. Kind regards Matt" That's the stock answer, word for word. You'd need to pretend you're going to move your shop to a supported platform and the development would have to be done without their support. It's not as if they can tell what code is on the other end of the api calls. One issue is whether there's much of a subscription that merchants have to pay afterpay or if the cost is transactional like PayPal. if transactional you wouldn't be stuck with a bill from afterpay during development.

rudolfl Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I am going to try and write one myself, as no ready modules are available. Is there a documentation on a design of osCommerce payment modules? I can trace it myself, but would be good to save time. AfterPay APIs (on the first glance) seem reasonably simple. Rudolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
