How to add a new payment or shipping method?

Hi there,

I need to add an additional payment method called " pay at the convenient store" like 7-11.

That means the ordered things will be sent to the convenient store that specified by the consumer;

once the ordered things arrive at the convenient store,

the consumer will get a reminding message from the seller

so the consumer can then go to the convenient store to pay the bill and get the things.

There is an online service which offers an API that developers can pass the required parameters to the application service
and it will send back some necessary info.

The example code is here : www.ezship.com.tw/emap/ezship_simulation_request_code_big5.html

However, I don't know how and where can I add this additional payment plugin into Hikashop and make it appear as a payment option?

Please help me to configure this.



Thank you so much.

Dear Jerome,

Thank you for your insightful reply.

As you say, may I zip the directory "plg_hikashoppayment_collectondelivery" as :

• su_id = shop owner's ezShip account
• order_id = order ID
• rturl = return url
• rv_name = customer's name
• rv_email = customer's email
• rv_mobil = customer's mobile phone number
• rv_amount = 2000 or 0.
(If customer will pay at the convenient store, then rv_amount=2000;
if customer will not pay at the convenient store, then rv_amount=0.)

• webtemp = Some other parameters required by Hikashop web application for logic handling.

Dear,

I rename the directory and re-edit the corresponding files. I put the new "collectondelivery2" under website\plugins\hikashoppayment.

However,when I use "discovery" function, there is no files being found.

What should I do now?

Really really thank you.

hi there,

I have to send the parameters of customer's name, email, and phone number to EZSHIP's API.

I wonder how can I get the user's email, name, and phone number in Hikashop. Which function should I use?

I did some check, and found out

$user_id = hikashop_loadUser();

But this is for user's id. How can I get the other information of users?

Thank you so much.

Dear J,

I am very thankful for your hints. I have finished the API connection. ^_^

$user = hikashop_loadUser(true);
		$address_type = 'billing_address'; // or 'billing_address'
		$app =& JFactory::getApplication();
		$address = $app->getUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.'.$address_type);
		$cart = hikashop_get('class.cart');
		$cart->loadAddress($order->cart, $address, 'object', 'billing'); // or 'billing'
		$vars["name"]=@$order->cart->$address_type->address_firstname;
		$vars["phone"]=@$order->cart->$address_type->address_telephone;
		$vars["email"]=$user->user_email;
