Chaning the Invoice Reference and Invoice Description

    Hi Ross,

    Just a quick question, at the moment my invoices are showing the form number which is ‘3’ and the invoice descriptions as my site title. Is there a way to change the invoice reference to sequential numbers and the Invoice Description to a String?

    I assume it has to do with these two lines below:

    $eway->invoiceDescription = apply_filters(‘gfeway_invoice_desc’, $eway->invoiceDescription, $data[‘form’]);

    $eway->customerReference = apply_filters(‘gfeway_invoice_ref’, $eway->customerReference, $data[‘form’]);

    Thanks again for your help.

    G’day DeeperLook,

    Yes, you can hook those filters to specify your own values. See this support topic for examples:

    Hi Ross,

    I did see that post, however it seems that @mycustom is referring to fields that his customers can add their own invoice reference, account numbers, and payment numbers, see https://yatessecurity.com.au/contact_us/payments/

    I need the invoice references to start from 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004 etc. The user wouldn’t see this nor would they be able to edit it. It would just show up in eWay as the next sequential number for each recurring payment.

    You’d need to manage that with a sequential counter, e.g. in a WordPress option.

    Because of the way in which this plugin functions, the entry ID isn’t available until after the transaction so that cannot be used. The pro plugin, and other gateway integrations I’ve written since, process the transaction after entry creation so they are able to use the entry ID. That’s still not a sequential invoice number, however (e.g. if there are multiple forms generating entries, there will be gaps in the “invoice” numbers”)

    cheers,

    Hi Ross,

    So it’s possible to do using a WordPress Option? Even if multiple forms are generating entries?

    Is there possibly another way around this issue, maybe writing a function that says every time form ID ‘3’ is submitted the invoiceReference will now equal a new integer?

    Thanks.

    Yes, you could write a simple function for generating a sequential invoice number. You could save the last generated number in a WordPress option, as an example. You could then use a filter hook to set the customer reference from that invoice number.

    cheers,

    Hi Ross,

    Thanks for that. I’m just thinking, if the payment is recurring, will the Invoice Reference be the form id every time the payment recurs?

    Thanks.

    You’ll have to ask eWAY that.

    cheers,
