I currently use another cart but want to switch to opencart. The problem I face is that my shipping prices are all over the place and the USPS and UPS modules do a poor job at capturing this. What I want to do is capture a paypal purchase without the user actually paying me. After an order is received I will calculate shipping and send them an invoice.
I just want to be able to capture the order.
How can I setup a "fake" payment name as Paypal like the Free Shipping option only I don't want it to be called Free. Credit cards are easy because I can communicate with the customer before I run their number.
You can set PayPal to only Authorize instead of Capture the payment. If you authorized a higher amount than you'd need for shipping, you could then capture a lower amount during checkout. (Note: this is how most payment processors work, but I don't know whether PayPal does this as well -- I'm just assuming it does.)
Or, you could use Qphoria's Offline Credit Card extension, which would allow you to process whatever amount you wanted later. If you only have a PayPal account, this would require you to have their CC processing feature as well, so you can enter the number.
If you instead want to enter the number in PayPal, but you don't want to store any credit card data, then you can just rename the COD payment method to something else. Its language file is /catalog/language/english/payment/cod.php
