Bank transfer instead of PayPal

Shopping Cart Template general questions

Hi all,
Here in the Netherlands we don't use PayPal that often.

When I buy something inside of Holland we use a bank tranfer.
When you pllace an order and want to pay we get an option that alows us to pay by bank.

Is this possible in Shopping Cart also?
If a costumer wants to pay he just gets an email with the order-number and the info of how to pay.

I would like that option.
Please help
Regards,
John

John,
you need to create new option to the pay_types table. Then check selected pay type and send email if needed in the AfterAdd event.

Here is a sample:

if ($values["pay_type"]=="BT") //BT - bank transfer

{

//**send email to customer***

$select = "select * from emails where email='BT'";//BT - bank transfer

$rs_email = db_query($select,$conn);

$data_email = db_fetch_array($rs_email);

$email=$_SESSION["UserID"];

$message = $data_email["email_body"];

$subject=$data_email["email_subject"];

mail($email, $subject, $message);

}



Don't forget to create email template for Bank Tranfer payment in the emails table.

But the emails are not sended in html.

John,
to send email in HTML you need to add additional headers to the mail() function:

// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

...

// Mail it

mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);

Ok, got it to work.
But if I change the status (the item is shipped) it does not send an email. (the email SHIPPED)

Howcome?
