Hi,



Right now we currently use ejunkie for our online store and it works great.



But we also do paper invoicing to funeral homes because most still work the old way and want a paper invoice and then pay by check.



Lately though we have been getting a few paper invoices sent back with credit card info on it (which we don't want to have.)



So we'd like to be able to have on the invoice please visit the url here and you can submit your payment.



I see there is a "Let buyers edit price field (ex. donation "pay anything")" option.



This is a great option because all the invoices are different prices. But is there a way to add a required field to have them add the invoice number? Because if they are using a personal credit card to pay the address and names on the invoice might not match the payment being sent to us - making it impossible to tell who the payment belongs to.



Thanks,

Stacy



P.S. I've checked PayPal (who seems to be having some site issue at the moment) and the only way we know to do it is to have to call the company back and get an email and then manually make an e-invoice to then email them. We are a really small company (only 4 people) and this is very inconvenient and most of the time the companies get annoyed with all the steps. Or us have to manually insert all the credit card information they send over - and we don't want to have any credit card info on file in our office - too much liability. So having a page on the site they can go to at anytime they have a free moment and make a payment, would be a great option for us to offer them.

Hello,



You could use our Variations feature for this, that would allow you to create a product button with an attached text field, your clients could enter their invoice number there along with the amount and submit the order online. Whatever they enter goes into your sales records and is included in the notification we send you.



Keep in mind that we have no way to verify the invoice number or the amount they are entering, so you're going to have to trust them to get that right. This also goes through our cart as an order so you might want to make sure that the information we send them by email afterward doesn't use the invoice number we'd generate for the transaction, since that could cause some confusion.

Thank you very much for the quick response and the idea! I will try it and get back with you if I have any other questions.
