I have just finished adding a basic direct deposit payment module to my Australian Magento module. Development only took a day - again, because I didn’t understand some basic things to do with the Magento/Zend framework - and was mostly done by replicating functionality for the Check/Money Order module that’s already in Magento. Although direct deposit is currently lumped in with the rest of the Australian stuff I could always extract it if people in other countries would find it useful. I’m not sure how popular a payment method it is overseas.
The next order of business will be cleaning up the code for release and then moving on to the development of a BPAY payment method, which should be pretty similar to direct deposit.
Hi, Chris
yes, it would be good to have a dedicated bank deposit module. Here in NZ it’s a very popular form of payment.
I’ve been using the check/money order option in Magento, but a dedicated module would be best.
What’s really important is the ability to inform the customer that they should use order number XXXXXXX as the deposit reference.
Example:
Please deposit your payment to:
Payee: XYZ Company Ltd.
Bank: Westpac
ACC#: 12-3456-123456-00
Branch: Central City
Please use the order number XXXXX as your reference.
Something like that.
Regards
Thanks for the feedback Nuwanda. As I said in the post it should be easy to extract out just the deposit module and, from the look of the example you provided it is pretty much the same as what you provide for Australian bank details so it should just be changing a few strings.
I can also change the display code to include a message like you described. I hadn’t actually thought of how the shop admin would link up payments to the orders so thanks for picking that up.
