Title: Multiple Checkout...
Post by: businesswoman on January 05, 2013, 12:51:25 PM
Was wondering if we could use 'multiple' checkout options at the same time, such as offering Google Checkout, PayPal, and Check/money order mail in?

Please explain "use 'multiple' checkout options at the same time".
For who? customer?
As store owner you can enable a few payment extensions.

I understood her query to be about offering multiple payment options on the checkout payment page - which I understand Abantecart can do, with the limit that it does not allow partial payments via multiple gateways in the same transaction....

It would be a good feature I think to allow payment split in multiple processors. Something to consider.

Well,
     Sending Money to seller partially from one and then from others is a bad bad idea .

I quite agree.  It is however, one which is encouraged by the various credit card companies from time to time.  In fact, at one point, VISA was going to require this capability from all ecommerce merchants. 

They had to back off, as most of them refused to implement the capability.

That said, there are a number of interesting requests in terms of managing checkout floating around out there - many of them from experienced brick and mortar vendors who want to parallel their physical store operations more closely on the web. ...
