I have gone through the in person payments with Square and read the save card on file in Square documentation. I wonder if there is any way to save Card on file while in person payments? or may be i am missing something in documentation?
Because while in person payments, currently we are not saving customer's any information but the server_transaction_id. If we want to save Card on file, do we need to save customer's other information?
Thank you.
You can, but not with the APIs at this time, but by using the built-in capabilities of Square Point of Sale. see: https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/5770-use-card-on-file-with-the-square-point-of-sale-app

I have small food store. I'm working on an app that will allow my customers to download the app, keep up with events, etc., but most importantly, order from my app menu ahead of time, take their CC payment ahead of time and I have their order waiting for them when they walk in. I want the purchase to now show up in my Square system so I can get started on the order and I would like to use Square POS to take and process the order so I don't have to keep up with two POS systems. This does not seem possible with Square? Suggestions, idea, help?
To my knowledge, that isn't currently possible with any of the available Square APIs. The best you can do is probably to set up a Square online store and allow users to make purchases from your site. Masala Wok is a good example of what this looks like.
I am working with a client to migrate their 12 year old ecommerce site to a more modern platform. The manner in which they process credit cards is something I don't have experience with, and either I can't seem to punch the right combination of words to get google to spit out what i'm looking for, or this is an oddity.
Their business does not process any credit card transactions itself. They use mals ecommerce shopping cart, and when customers place orders, the credit card information is stored there, but not processed. Their partner then logs into Mals and is able to retrieve all the card information and then process it externally on their own equipment.
Is there a common name for this process
Is this an acceptable practice (It seems kinda sketchy to me)
If so, can someone point me in the right direction for research
Is it possible to make the POS include the transaction amount in the barcode?
I need to create (i'm a developer) a system where the merchant can print giftcards on the receipt itself and then, when the buyer scans the barcode to his proprietory mobile app, his account will be credited with the amount on receipt.
Do you know if its "doable" using standard cash register operations / plugins?
Thanks a lot!
Yes, you're looking for a price embedded barcode which is possible. If I remember correctly embedded barcodes tend to begin with "2" or "02", a search can bring up more information on them I'm sure.
However this isn't a good idea, as if someone works out that this is the method in which you're crediting accounts, it wouldn't be difficult to spoof a barcode and give yourself some free money.
i have an issue with the feed that is sent to my google merchant account (order_shipments.txt) there is 4 columns
merchant order id
tracking number
carrier code
other carrier name
ship date
i have set my shipping as FREE SHIPPING with the shipping magento method for Free Shipping, the problem is that under my feed all the tracking numbers shows as carrier (other) and i need under my feed on carrier either UPS or USPS. because every time we ship an order we enter the tracking number and the carrier for the shipment. any suggestion will be highly appreciate.
Hopefully I'm not too late!
We just patched this exact issue (as well as others) and have documented the necessary modifications at http://www.dcjcooltools.com/blog/magento-extensions/the-nightmare-that-is-google-trusted-stores-for-magento/
Look for the post in the comments that discusses carrier names. We are looking to create a patch extension so that you don't have to modify core Trusted Stores files.
Let me know if this solution works for you!

I am trying to generate a Bank Deposit slip (ideally a PDF) with incremental serial numbers everytime someone clicks and downloads one. Now I know how to generate PDFs etc programmatically but I wonder if there is a 'best practice' way to do this kinda thing before I start generating this deposit slip pixel by pixel on a PDF? There must be some templates out there I can use?
Any ideas on what approach to be followed in this case?
It is a kind of thing that evolves your invoice system, customers (if you have one), products/services that you are negociating, and of course a place in a database to save all your transactions.
I was staked in Bank Slip, but now I found a simple solution, I'm going to share here with you, perhapes is not the best solution, but apparently was good to me, actually I'm building this.
I'll talk here about the structure to accomodate the transactions datas, here I go:
A table in your database, I had called it bank_slip
here goes the fields for bank_slip
id | invoice_number | transferor | code_transferor | amount_title | due_date | our_number | drawee | fines
Now I will explain the process to generate a bank slip »»
I supose that you have already an invoice system working in your system and it must be integrated with your customers and products/services of course.
Once you have invoice, customer and products/services you can start to work in your bank slip.
In the invoice system you need to call the bank slip. Why there? 'cause there you have all the necessarie information to generate your bank slip such as the struct of your table bank_slip showed above. You will pass all the information of your customer, service and invoice across pages via form (POST or GET).
Then you need some class to generate the bank slip for you. I'm using this one --- http://www.boletophp.com.br/#download
The class was built to work with the mainly banks of Brazil, but of course you will need to find something that fits in your country, I think it is not the worst part of the job.
The worst for me was to integrate it to my system already in use and working, but like I explained above it fit like a gloves to me.
I hope you can find a solution to your problem.
