Yes - I do that as well - let's look at a scenario.
I want to be able to take credit cards and also cheque payments for
renewals.
So I set the interface to process immediately
I take their details, they specify credit card, I check the validity etc.
get authorisation and if ok I pass the name through and it is renewed
immediately - fine.
If the credit card is not approved I don't pass it through and tell the
customer why - so everything ok so far.
Next the customer wants to pay by cheque,cash or maoney order. They fill in
the renewal info, tick my cash box and then instead of my being able to use
the existing pend system I have to build my own while I wait for payment. It
would be much simpler if I could pass a flag with the renewal to say pend
this one please. Then when payment is received I simply go into the
interface and release.
the only option is to pend everything - sort of defeats the purpose of real
time credit card processing doesn't it ?
The same requirement that we have for reg_system.cgi - we can at least get
around it in registrations by keeping the interface on pend and using
register.cgi functionality for approved credit card purchases
