Email Cart and Save Cart to Users Account Action

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.2
-- PHP version -- : 5.x

Hi.
We have some items in our store that have to be custom priced. We need to allow HikaShop to (1)save the clients cart to their account (2) email the order to administrators BUT NOT use credit card checkout.

This option Email Checkout will be a secondary option for all orders however (3) for orders that include custom priced items it is the only option.

Are the above functions possible or would we need an extension.

Thanks in advance.

* Note to moderators: Could you please move this topic to the correct category. Thank You.

Hello.
Thanks for your solution. It looks like the min/max volume should allow me to designate which items trigger the Email Checkout option. However, which payment plugin should I use? that will allow the user to enter their information and email address/phone number so the client can contact them. I am thinking I may have to create a seperate form page for this and trigger it by inserting javascript.

Hi,

I think that you can potentially use a method like "Check" and rename it as you want.
By this way, the customer will have a common checkout, will have to fill their informations and thanks to the payment method set you will be able to see what kind of order it is.

Yes. Check will work. However, when the checkout is complete it displays the cost and tells them to send a check.

Your order is now complete.
You can now send us a check with the amount of $5.00 using the following information.
We will finish processing this order via phone or email. Any items with prices marked "Contact Us" will be added to your total once we have a chance to discuss pricing with you. Thank You for your order.
Do not forget to include the order number ( F5 ) on the back of the check so that we can match it to your order.
Thank you for your purchase.

I also tried the Collect on Delivery Payment Plugin and that one also displays information we don't want

Your order is now complete.
The amount of $5.00 will be collected upon delivery of your order (E4)
Thank you for your purchase.

How can I change the text that is automatically output on checkout for the Check plugin or the Collect on Delivery plugin???

Related Question: We also want to set up this payment method(Contact Us payment) as the only option given to people ordering internationally. What is the best way to set this up? Can Hikashop handle this functionality?
So when they enter a shipping address that is out of the US or Canada then their payment option defaults to this option only.

Hi,

1. You can edit the text in the "Check information" part when configuring the payment method.
And do some translation overrides on the strings:

CHECK_PAYMENT="Check"
CHECK_INFORMATION="Check information"
PLEASE_SEND_CHECK="You can now send us a check with the amount of %s using the following information."
INCLUDE_ORDER_NUMBER_TO_CHECK="Do not forget to include the order number ( %s ) on the back of the check so that we can match it to your order."

2. You can do it the same way, using another payment method to make different translation overrides. And when setting up this payment method, restrict it to a desired zone. You can previously create a new zone via System > Zones in order to have all the countries out of the US or Canada.
