"Pay now" email link error

When a user creates an order a creation email is sent to them. This email includes a "Pay now" link. The link works fine if they are logged in to my website but if they are not it comes up with an error message "The payment method could not be found" and instead of redirecting them to a login page it actually creates a blank order! (see attached)

The payment method I am using is paypal.

Hi,

Indeed, that's a case which is not handled properly.

Add the code: after: in the file components/com_hikashop/controller/order.php and that will fix the problem.

Fixed most of the problems but there are 2 small glitches.

1. The user can still click the pay now link even after they have already paid. I dont want them to get confused and pay twice.

2. If the user clicks the link after their order has been deleted for some reason it still says "no payment method found" and creates a new blank order.

1. The "pay now" button is only available if the orders are created. Once the orders are confirmed (which normally happens automatically when your payment gateway sends the payment notification to HikaShop), the button should not display anymore.

2. We'll investigate that and fix it for next release but note that you're not supposed to delete orders. It's best practice to cancel them in order to leave a trace.

1. The problem is that order creation email includes its own "pay now" link. This bypasses the pay now button on the orders page completely and takes them directly to paypal.

2. I don't normally delete customers orders usually just test orders that I've created because I don't want them to clutter up too much. Unlike some European countries Canadian law doesn't care if your invoice numbers are out of order or in any particular order at all (that I know of).

1. Ok I though that you were talking about the display of the pay now button on the orders listing page, not about that.
Indeed, we're missing a check here.
Add the code: before in the file components/com_hikashop/controller/order.php and that will fix the problem.

I can see this thread is a few years old but I am having the same issue on 3.2.0. I went to look for the code on the file above but that part does not exist.

Can you please advise how I can remove the pay now text from the order email.

Thanks

Hi,

You can remove that code: from the preload version of the order creation notification email.
