A direct deposit payment method would be nice:

• Something that automatically generates a reference number to put into a DD message,
• Then a reverse search where you enter the DD message from bank and get taken to the transaction etc.

Add a Direct Deposit payment method.

So if a user selects it, it will have a message like this:

Please depostit your money to:

"Account Name: AliCommerce

Account BSB: 123-456

Account Number: 123456789

Reference Numebr: H3Z1G9

Amount: $120.00"

Where the first 3 lines are determined by the admin in the setup page, the reference number is automatically generated by the system, so that I as the store owner, when I look at my bank account balance, will see referece "H3Z1G9". I can then copy and paste it into the shopping module, which will say something like "Found 1 transaction with reference H3Z1G9, payment now accepted, transaction is now marked as paid"

Hope this explains it better.

On online banking... in australia... when you do a direct deposit to somebody elses account (which incurs no fees - thus my surcharge suggestion on paypal) it asks the user to enter, the other persons account name, number and a 'message' to send with the payment. This message would be the reference number.

So when the store owner recieves a payment, they would look at their online banking and see "Edward Cho deposit $523.23 Message: H3Z1G9". The store owner would then copy the reference, paste it into shopping cart. The cart wolud then say something like "Found transaction by edward cho, in the value of 523.23, would you like to mark it as paid?"

This would simply make it a lot simpler to find the transactions in ali commerce when there would be several 'outstanding' trasactions.

Greeeat Idea!
