For Payment Gateway Transactions, whilst it is common in practice that Credit Card details are first entered when an operator is prompted upon completing the creation of an invoice, it is possible that those details are already known by the system at that point.
Scenarios where the credit card details may already be known prior to completion of invoice creation are:
- The operator has invoked the ;PG command and entered the details.
- A Back Order was loaded that had card details stored against it.
- An Electronic Order was loaded that had card details stored against it.
A new tick box has been added to the Payment Gateway configuration, it is called ‘Confirm Card on Inv Creation’. When this configuration is ticked on and thus set to True, the system will always display the Enter Credit Card Details screen at the time of completing the invoice creation, even when Credit Card details have already been loaded.
Upon installation of this update, the default for this new configuration will be set to false, should your site wish to make use of the new feature to always prompt for credit card details, you should set it to true.
