Hi @cettrich,
Do you know what the ID’s of the new RatePay fields are called so that the correct payment information is shown on our own invoices?
The PayPal Plus plugin stored the payment instructions in WooCommerce meta fields so they could be accessed the way you describe.
With PayPal Payments, these instructions are retrieved differently and are currently not saved in the regular WooCommerce meta fields. So it wouldn’t work the same way.
The instructions are stored in the postmeta table under the meta key ppcp_ratepay_payment_instructions_payment_reference, but I’m not sure how these could be retrieved to be displayed in the invoices.
I created a feature request for the developers to investigate how parity could be ensured so you can do the same thing with PayPal Payments.
Kind regards,
Niklas
Hi Niklas,
thank you very much for your feedback.
Unfortunately we don’t know the correct name of the fields. Where can we see them? We do not have access to MySQL at the moment.
We wonder how other small stores do it with the invoices. Surely in the German market an appropriate invoice is essential?
If you have information from the developers, we look forward to your answer, so that we can hopefully offer invoice purchase again soon! 🙂
Many greetings
Chris
Hi Chris,
The buyer receives two separate emails with the Ratepay payment instructions. One from your shop and one from Ratepay directly.
The instructions are also displayed in a field in the WooCommerce order, but this field content is not as easy to export/reuse compared to WooCommerce meta fields.
I don’t see the need to have these instructions printed on the invoice itself, but it certainly could be interesting to provide parity with the PayPal Plus plugin when relying on WooCommerce meta fields.
The developers will look into it, and maybe this can be squeezed into the next plugin update later this month. But no promises.
Kind regards,
Niklas
