Record Payment via API?

[Colin]

Hi, new to Blesta. How do I go about replicating the 'Record Payment' process for an invoice via API calls?

I would recommend looking at Transactions add() http://source-docs.blesta.com/class-Transactions.html to record a payment via the API. This will not process using a gateway, only create a transaction. Use apply() if you want to apply that transaction to a specific invoice/invoices.

Thank you Paul.

Couple of follow up questions if you don't mind.

1. I've looked at this process (add > apply) and can't see a way to trigger a receipt (or invoice paid) email for the client once the transaction is added/applied. Is this possible?

2. Also I'm a little lost as to how I format the invoice array ($vars) for the apply transaction?

 

Thanks again.

Thank you Paul ?. I didn't read the source properly and was using 'vars[transaction_id]' instead of 'transaction_id'.

Still looking for a way to send the client an email after applying a transaction as a receipt, as well as and email once an invoice has been paid in full by an applied transaction.

Currently no email template exists for transaction application or invoice closure.  There is also no event for transaction application, but you could create a plugin that ties into the Invoices.setClosed event.
