Can Payment Form do this?

Hi Tuan
I have a need for a colleague of mine to be able to process payments through our website for members who are achieving a yearly qualification with us.
Membership Pro and Events Booking won't quite work for me but I am hoping Payment Form might be able to help.
Is it possible for my colleague to log in (ideally in the administrator area or front end if we can set an access level where only their login can access the payment form) to our website with their username and then process payments for many different people of our members when they need to?
It would be a payment that we charge and need to log various details including a custom field that could give a message to our finance person what the payment was for.
For example
I could login and use this form to process a payment through eWay for the following.
Tuan - Pays $40 for re-accreditation at Level 2 with us
Giang - Pays $40 for re-accreditation at Level 2 with us
Chris - Pays $35 for re-accreditation at Level 1 with us

These payments could all be processed through EWAY (after I purchase the eway payment plugin of course) and we can see that in the database?

Is that possible and how do we see the information processed in the back end?

Is it also possible for my colleague to choose the member from our joomla/membership pro members herself even if we don't know their login details so the payment is recorded against their profile with us?

We never want them to login and pay themselves as they need to pass various exams etc before they can and we know when they have done this. We just need to charge them their fee once we know they have passed.

I am thinking Payment Form could be perfect for this but would need a way where I can see what my colleague has processed and she doesn't work in the same place as I do. The website could be a perfect place for us to see what payments of gone through before we process their qualifications.

I hope I am making sense
Thanks
 

Hi Chris

This is not something handled directly by Payment Form. However, reading your requirement, I believe you can handle it using this plugin extensions.joomla.org/extension/login-as-user/ (or similiar)

Basically, you, as administrator, can login as if you are any users on your site. Then process payment as if you are that user

That should work for your need

Thanks Tuan
If I understand you correctly, Payment Form could process a payment for anything we wanted with eway and I could just add a text field in for my colleague to note what the payment was for.
So she could process a payment for $40 and type in an extra box - Tuan Reaccreditation Level 2 payment
Then she could process another payment for $40 and type in the extra text box Giang Reaccreditation Level 2 payment
She could do these whenever she needed to and we could see the different payments she had made and maybe even get an email when she processed them.

This could all be done through your Payment Form.

But then you are also saying that to log that payment to a user, we could use the extra extension and login as the user themselves and then process the form that way?

If I am understanding you then this will work really well thanks

Hi Chris

1. If you just want to make a note to note that the payment is for certain users (Tuan and Giang in your example), then Yes, Payment Form can handle it. And you do not need to use a third party plugin I mentioned to login on the behalf of user

2. However, if you want the payment record is associated with the user account, then you can use the plugin I mentioned. The idea is that you can login to the account you want to process payment for (even do not know his pass word), then process payment on behalf of the user

Depends on how you want it to work, you can choose the approach works for your need.

Regards,

Tuan
