Can You Set A Minimum Payment Amount?

[gutterboy]

We want to send our users monthly invoices no matter the amount owed, so they get used to always getting an invoice from us; however, we don't actually want the user to be able to pay the invoice unless it is say for example, at least $1.00 - we don't want users paying invoices that are for $0.03 and losing money via transactions fees.

 

I notice users can also make partial payments via their accounts, so it would obviously need to apply to this as well.

 

Can this be set anywhere?

 

Thanks!

Not at the moment however would be a nice feature request I think it was discussed before though not sure when or where the thread was, probably beta time.

Alright - thanks!

Which gateway are you using? It would be extremely easy to modify the gateway plugin to refuse to process payment under a certain amount.

 

I had to write this into a merchant plugin i wrote on the weekend as that gateway had a minimum $1.00 AUD transaction total.

 

If you let me know which one I'll have a look at it for you.

 

I'd probably modify your invoice too so it perhaps watermarked with "payment not required at this time" or something too.

At the moment we will just be using Paypal.

I haven't used the Paypal gateway and I've only just had a quick glance at the code.

 

But you could with the help of the developer documentation do this quite easily, if you open up:

 

/components/gateways/nonmerchant/paypal_payments_standard/paypal_payments_standard.php

if ($amount < 1 && $this->currency = "AUD") || ($amount < 1.20 && $this->currency = "USD") {
    $this->Input->setErrors($this->getCommonError("unsupported")); 
}

You could probably use a more descriptive error though in this case, but again it's all in the docs.

 

Completely untested, but the above should bring an abrupt end to payments for amounts under $1.00 AUD or $1.20 USD

TY very much for that - will have to try it out!

Just got around to doing this - where do I put that code exactly?

Probably at the top of buildProcess() or maybe just under the $amount = round($amount, 2);

I tried that and added a:

return;

but all it did was remove the paypal button on the payment page.
