How do I add a "BANK DEPOSIT" payment option

Could someone please write me some instructions on how to add a bank deposit payment option.

If it is only a matter of a different name and you are managing the reconciliation manually then have a look at the check/money order contribution. Copy the files for the money order one and change the word money for bank and order for deposit in the files and the file names. The contribution has instructions for installation that should help you after that.

If you actually want to communicate with a payment gateway then have a look at the SecurePay (contributions) and PayPal (built in) payment extensions.

Hi Bruce, I just followed your suggestion and successfully converted the money order payment module to a Bank Deposit payment module. It is appearing fine as a payment option. My question is simply, where do I put my bank a/c details?

Many Thanks

There is no built in place. You simply need to choose where in the workflow that you want to display these details and with what instructions. Then you will have to modify the appropriate template.

Is this the only payment option you are offering or will ever offer because that has an impact on the solution.

I suggest add a field to the language table that has the a/c details in. Then edit your template to show.  :-)

Can you show how your script looks like? thanks.

Hi,

I posted this in reply to perhaps the wrong thread, so I shall try here also (apologies to mods).

I am working on Direct Deposit payment extension and I've basically taken the 5 files for "check" and made all the *I think* necessary modifications to create 5 separate files for direct deposit (as suggested by bruce). I can create the extension under "extensions" in the admin area, and am also able to add "payment_directdeposit" to the "access" and "modify" user groups for my admin account.

I then go back to "extensions" and attempt to install the extension by clicking on the "+" and get a "Success: You have updated the Direct Deposit payment module!" message, but the wrench icon does not come up and the "+" remains a "+" (it does not change to a "-").

I figure there is probably some variable or function name somewhere which I have neglected to change, but after poring through the code multiple times and comparing each file to its respective "check" partner, I can't for the life of me find it. As such, any pointers in this area which anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!

zip up the files and post it, and I will have a look

Thank you!

Unfortunately, the name you have chosen for a group "directdeposit" contains 13 characters. One more than the database table allows.

If you rename all occurrences of "directdeposit" with (say) "bank", rename your files and the extension settings, it works fine.

Lol. Typical, it's always the solution you don't even consider. Forgot about the # of character hard limit.

Thanks mate, very much appreciate the help. I shall rename it directbruce in your honour 

I am deeply honoured 

and upload your script here ) thanks man

Hello - sorry to bump an old thread - but it's pertinent and will help me better understand this whole process.

Not a developer - and this is perhaps the third time I've 'tinkered' with code.  However - I prefer to learn than hand off to an expert, so I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.

In an above post, you mentioned 'modifying the template to enter the bank a/c information', someone suggested doing this in the language file.

Could you post or PM or email me a sample of what that would look like (obviously with no actual bank info - perhaps an XXX where you'd enter the routing and a/c info?) - Also - where do enter code so the customer is required to enter their bank details?  What would that look like?

Thanks much!!!!  Sorry if for knowing so little!
