Ubercart NZ Bank Transfer at Checkout

Here in New Zealand paying by bank transfer is totally normal. Its what we do. I dunno what its like over the rest of the world but here almost anything can be paid for with bank transfer and its great coz it means you don’t have to have a credit card to buy online.

I wanted to have this on my website but it wasn’t in the modules that come with Ubercart so I had to go looking for it.

Once I again I found my answer in the Ubercart forums. That place is great!

I downloaded another module from drupal.org called Bank Transfer Ubercart Payment. There is a ‘Read Me’ which explains what to do to get it to work. It looks a bit confusing but if you read it slowly line by line and don’t move to the next line till you have done what the previous line asks then it shouldn’t be too bad.

All it does is add the option to pay by bank transfer and then adds an action where an invoice will be sent out with bank details on it.

When you see the money come into your bank account you can then go into Store Administration and into Orders and look at the order. You will see that the order is still awaiting payment coz no one has recorded a payment. What I do next is to manually record that the payment has been received and then deal with the order in the normal way.  Well.. I would if I had needed to yet but no one has used it  😦

Anyways its pretty cool.
