Paypal pre-authorized payments

[Jan Michalicka]

Hi, I’m going to create new site like “groupon.com” – group discount.

It should work like that:

– when e.g. 10 customers buy one product, they all have it for discounted price

– if there is less then 10 customers for that product, nobody can buy this product

I noticed that credit card processing companies can hold funds as “pre-authorized” payments. If minimum of orders is reached (e.g. 10), all payments are confirmed by merchant,funds are taken from credit cards and customers can receive product.

If minimum of orders is not reached, pre-authorized payments are canceled by merchant and funds never go out from customer’s credit card.

Is something like that supported by eStore + Paypal integration?

If not, do you have any guide how can I integrate another payment gateway into eStore?

Thanks

Jan

eStore doesn’t have a “pre-authorized” payment option. Adding a Payment Gateways requires a lot of PHP coding. If you are good with PHP then I can tell you where to look in the code.
