No problem.  Thanks for the replies.

I'll play around with it, thanks for the info.

Just a quick question, do you allow scripts like the one i want created to be posted on the forum or do you have a contributions area where people can download it?

I'll provide the created script to whomever wants it when im done.

Thanks

Is it difficult to do it myself?

If not how do I go about doing it?  What are the processes involved?

It all sounds good, but how do I go about implimenting this into your app?

I'm assuming you mean, manual deposit and you just add the keyword you are to use in the script as a reference on the deposit slip.  That could work yes.

So that would mean creating a Manual Deposit option, besides the EFT payment option.

Pete: This is just a matter of convenience for the clients, most of our clients hail from one specific area, so this is just an alternate payment method to actually coming in to the shop and paying cash.

Ming: Payment via EFT usually takes one day to register on our systems, so its quite a bit quicker than your BACS system.  We are notified via Text Message when cash has been deposited into our bank accounts, so then we can process the order a lot quicker.

Actually on a clear mind, I think might be even simpler than I first anticipated.

The thing is I don't have the relevant knowledge to put the idea to code.  That's the main reason for the post.  I was hoping someone could help me out.

This is the (more coherently put) idea for the module.

Part of the KonaKart process:  Clients look through catalog, selects products they want, checkout etc.
Part of module process:  Payment method is selected as EFT (I need it to be this specifically because in South Africa its an easy method of paying online), it carries you through to another screen which would be a simple page listing logos/pictures of all the major banks in south africa and links back to their Internet Banking Web Sites.  When you click on one of these it opens the relevant page in a popup window.  The popup window can have an iframe at the top stating that after the payment is complete, they can close the window.  After the client has made his payment, he can then close the window.  Below the Bank picture links there can then be a reference box, where they can fill in whatever the reference is that they have used in the EFT transfer and then we can reconcile it in our records.
Part of Client Login:  They would have the option to see if the payment has reconciled with our records and if the order has been processed.  (We would naturally be able to flag this in the Admin section).

Is this too involved or is it actually possible to do?

Thanks

Hi guys

I am someone who is absolutely clueless when it comes to stuff like this so I hope someone can help me set this up.

I am working on a South African based Computer Company's web site and so far KonaKart looks to be the most promising candidate for an online shopping cart product.

I just need to know is it possible to add a new payment method, ie. EFT (Electronic File Transfer) and of course remove any others that are in the script as options, thus only leaving EFT as the only means to pay via the internet.

Common sense tells me that it would have to work something like this.  Being a South African based company, we'd probably let the link point to a page which enables you to select whatever bank you are with, and that when clicked takes you to your bank's relevant Internet Banking web site, which naturally opens in a popup or new browser window.  Now this is the part I don't know if it's possible.  Once you've made your payment, you can close this window and you can probably enter like a reference number that you've supplied in your EFT payment so it can be checked back on our records to confirm if payment has been received, then the order can be processed.

If anyone can tell me how this can be done with little to know hassles, I'd appreciate it.

Kind Thanks

Jonathan
