sorry for the long delay in replying
i could make the gateway a non-merchant BUT it means the customer has to pay for the invoice themselves and i cant let blesta take the payments etc itself without me doing anything
the gateway is sadly 'GoCardless' which handles UK Direct Debits
if i was to set it up as non-merchant, and a user bought a plan, gocardless wud need 3 WORKING days to setup the account and DD then 3 WORKING days to take the payment, then i would have to manually go into blesta and select the user had made a payment because i cant get gocardless to notifify blesta of a payment without using there PRO PLAN which costs £200 a month ONTOP of ur fees
i have however tho through of a way, so im going to get building and see where i end up
dont gocardless as a payment gateway, just doing it as a plugin or module
go into the customer, click a custom button which then created the gocardless account and mandate, and returns back to the blesta panel without any issue, then on the cronjob, once a day check for outstanding invoices that havnt already been tried to taken, and then go from there
but its going to be a trial and error, so onwards and upwards
