Payment of behalf of a customer

  • Hi all,
    I have been looking around but I haven’t found a solution for it.
    Our website is used by several sponsors that pay for the products of clients, when a client is new, there is no problem (and the user is created at the time of the purschase), but when a customer was already a customer before, and the sponsor tries to pay the product creating that user woocommerce prompts a logic error over the existance of that user in the system.

    My question is: Is there a way to permit a sponsor or anyone to pay on behalf of other customer? obviously the sponsor doesn’t know the password of the user and it is not an option.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Hi,
    I would like to know that store where somebody else pays for my purchases
    How exactly the system works? For non-paid orders, Woocommerce can create payment links that anyone else can use as well.

    Sorry Superkot,
    I didn’t receive the notification in my mail of your answer, I thought I had them activated.

    There are students and sponsors, and some students get in contact with sponsors to paid their inscription fee. That’s the case I would need to solve, existant users that are not paying their inscriptions but is the sponsor who does it. So in that case the sponsors has to come to the checkout but it has not the credentials (password of the user) and we don’t see reasonable that they have it, so we would like in that case to let the sponsor to complete the checkout without doing that ‘log in’. The purchase should identify via user ID that this purchase should be included under this user.

    Do you think it is feasible? Somebody has an idea of the functions to use to achieve this?
