-- HikaShop version -- : 3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.28
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox: 36.1

My problem is similar to the one in www.hikashop.com/forum/payment-methods/8...r-option.html#169857

BUT a Major difference:-
1. Hikashop Invoice
a. Business Employee is interested in a vendor's product. But the Business (the company) does NOT allow staff to pay by Credit Card.

b. Vendor sends INVOICE to business (Both business & Vendor get copies)

.... this actually looks just like the Checkout Cart page except it has the word INVOICE & Order number at the top.

--- the next part happens off line by email

- Business takes Invoice & processes payment... maybe there are some email discussions (not a Hikashop issue)
- Business eventually pays Vendor - by Bank Transfer/Cheque etc .... off line

Back to Hikashop:

- When payment received:-

For DOWNLOADS: Vendor manually changes backend to 'approve' payment
- this triggers Hikashop to send Business (& Vendor) an email with a 'thank you' and the download link
For Physical SHIPMENT product: Vendor ships product

Transaction complete!

2. The simpler alternative is simply a Purchase Order & most of the work is done offline

- Business clicks "Invoice Me" in checkout
- Both Business & Vendor get email notification
- Vendor creates off-line Invoice & manually sends Invoice
- Business sends payment (bank transfer etc)
- When payment received:
A) manually changes backend to 'approve' payment
- this triggers Hikashop to send Business (& Vendor) an email with a 'thank you' and the download link
B) For Physical SHIPMENT product: Vendor ships product

Either process works for me

Hi,

I don't see any problem in your message.
If you want an "invoice me" payment method during the checkout, just create an offiline payment method with the "check" or "collect on delivery" payment methods. The customer would then select it during the checkout and when finishing the checkout, the order would be created with an email notification sent both to him and the vendor. Then the vendor could simply modify the order to create the invoice and have the business pay it offline.
In such case, you might want to customize the emails text with translation overrides:
hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify
And you can go even further and customize the emails based on the payment method selected by editing the emails via the menu System>Emails (Business edition only) and using such code:
<?php if($data->order_payment_method=='collectondelivery'){ ?>
my custom text for orders made with the "invoice me" payment method which uses the collectondelivery payment plugin
<?php } ?>
