Shopping Cart - Adhoc payments

[TotalWebSolutions]

Does anyone know of a cart that allows adhoc payments?

i.e. a merchant is at a trade fair and has the goods to sell. The customer orders online at the trade fair using the merchants laptop for example. Rather than going through the checkout process (filling in billing/delivery address etc) the customer can just enter a section of the cart where they can enter an amount to pay and be transferred to the payment gateway.

We have the ability to build in an adhoc solution but I wondered if there are any carts that offer this facility.

Thanks,

Simon

Would a cart with a MOTO facility be what you want? Actinic V9 has this, but full integration would probably require their payment gateway - it does the whole order through the desktop GUI.
(I'm an Actinic user, not a reseller/web designer/whatever).

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the comment but I am afraid not. MOTO is for customer not present (Mail Order/Telephone Order) only. It would have to link in with our secure pay page so that the customer still fullfills the transaction process.

Thanks

One way to do it:

1. Set up a pseudo customer account and login to your cart front end.
2. Create a special product in your shopping cart and make the price an input field
3. Bring up the special product page
4. When you want to take a payment enter the price amount and click through to the payment gateway transfer page - you should only need a click or two as you're logged in.
5. Let the customer complete payment and return to the cart.

Not perfect but easily doable.
