Trying to Get Linkpoint & Offline to work together

Post Trying to Get Linkpoint & Offline to work together 
I'm trying to offer my customers 2 payment options - realtime credit cards and mail-in checks. I've setup Linkpoint gateway and then Offline (selecting Yes to allow multiple gateways) and then renamed the choose-orderform to combo.....

When I checkout, I get the two options - Pay with Credit Card + Pay By Check. However, regardless of which option I select, it takes me to linkpoint? I never get the offline form.

What am I missing and is this documented anywhere?

Please post the URL to your store...
Which gateway is set as primary?

Linkpoint is probably the primary.

try setting offline a primary and putting a copy of the linkpoint order lib .pl file in custom directory of the store.

these are two very dis-similar gateways and sometimes they can cause probs as variables need to be overwritten in one fashion with one gateway and yet the opposite way in the additional gateway. but they should work if reversing the primary/secondaryand the rest of yourinfo is setup correctly (I think ... lol)

Post having similar trouble 
Hello ...
I am having trouble getting the same multiple gateways to work (Linkpoint and Offline)> I have followed the few instructions I could find (i.e. config gateways for offline, Linkpoint, and zOffline); Move LINKPOINT and OFFLINE files into CUSTOM directory, etc. (Note that I am not sure whether or not I am moving the appropriate files into the right places since the instructions seem sparse on this).

My implmentation comes up with a zOffline Order form but when I select a payment option, it gets out of my shopping cart and jumps into a "generic" one like that which was first installed. I cannot determine how it is taking that jump to a generic cart installation (seems like the path is into www.agoracart.com somewhere ...

Any thoughts out there?

Many thanks,
Brian ...

Brian,
What version of the cart do you have?
If it is 4.0K-4b then zOffline is obsolete and you need to use combo-orderform.html.
Set up is as follows:

1. Look in the html/forms directory for the choose-orderform.html file. This is the file that you will use to create an extra screen in the checkout process for the customer to choose which gateway they are going to be using.

2. Edit the choose-orderform.html file to reflect the gateways used.
IE: you want to use Linkpoint and Offline
The code for each gateway selction will be as follows:
Linkpoint
Code:
<FORM action="agora.cgi" method="POST">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME = "ofn" VALUE = "LinkpointHTML">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME = "submit" VALUE = "1">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="order_form_button" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" NAME="Pay By Credit Card" VALUE="1"
ALT="Bubba"
SRC="agora.cgi?secpicserve=linkpoint.gif" border=0></FORM>



Offline
Code:

<FORM action="agora.cgi" method="POST">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME = "ofn" VALUE = "Offline">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME = "submit" VALUE = "1">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="order_form_button" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" NAME="Other Payments" VALUE="1"
ALT="Bubba"
SRC="agora.cgi?secpicserve=by_ccard.gif" border=0></FORM>


If you want standard submit buttons you can set it up based on this format:
Code:

<FORM action="agora.cgi" method="POST">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME = "ofn" VALUE = "Offline">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="order_form_button" VALUE=" Pay By Credit Card ">
</FORM>


3. After you are done with setting up the gateway selection buttons, SAVE the file as combo-orderform.html

4. Upload the combo-orderform.html file, in ASCII, to the html/forms directory.

5. In the manager -> Main AgoraCart Store Settings:
Set one of the gateways as Primary and hit submit.
Then, go to the Payment Gateway area of the manager and set up the gateway.
Complete this procedure with each of the gateways you are using.

6. Go back to the manager -> Main AgoraCart Store Settings and set Offline as primary and begin testing the cart using each gateway. If you do not get an order written to the order log from a particular gateway, you may need to play with which gateway needs to be primary.

BTW, just the <gateway>-order_lib.pl files need to be in the custom directory.
The <gateway>-user_lib.pl files need to be in the 'admin_files' directory.
The <gateway>-mgr_lib.pl & a copy of the <gateway>-order_lib.pl are put into the 'library' directory.

HTH!

Hello Bonnie ...

Yep -- I am running 4.0K-4b. And after following your instructions, it seems to work like it is supposed to work! Yours is the most complete set of instructions I found on the Multiple Gateway configuration. Very good job!

Muchas Gracias once again!

Brian ...

I guess I'm missing something. I did exactly that (setting up new store) and although I get the choice screen now, both the Check option and the CC option take me to the offline form. The CC option should take me to the linkpoint gateway.
