Jacopo,
Your suggestion seems to make sense. I hope to upgrade my system to the
latest after the end of the Christmas shopping period and can do some
testing of the new implementation then.
Cheers, Iain

Hi all,
I'm still trying to fix the last problems in the current billing
account implementation.
Before I go on, I'd like to be sure that what I have in mind is the
right process:
* during checkout, an order can be associated to a billing account
* if there is enough credit available in the billing account there is
no need, during checkout, to select a second payment method; if the
credit in the billing account is not enough, then the user have to
select a second payment method (e.g. a CC)
* when invoices are created for the order, they are associated to the
billing account too
* all the payments applied to invoices associated to a billing
account, are associated to the billing account too (using the
PaymentApplication.billingAccountId field)
* a payment application can be associated to a billing account, and it
will increase the credit available in the billing account
All the above points are already implemented and I'm fixing some bugs
in them; however there is one issue I'm not sure how to manage.
Right now (thanks to Si's work) when the amounts are captured and one
of the OrderPaymentPreferences is EXT_BILLACT, a payment is created
and a payment application is associated to the billing account (to
decrease the credit available in the account); however, no
authorization is done before this.
This is a problem because if I select a billing account and a CC, no
auth is associated to the billing account and the authorization is
requested for the total order amount to the CC (even if later, during
capturing, just the correct amount is captured).
My question is: how should we handle this?
Should we treat the OrderPaymentPreferences of type EXT_BILLACT in a
similar way of the CC auth/capturing? (I mean by creating 'fake'
PaymentGatewayResponses for them etc...).
Please help!
Jacopo
