Add an action when payment is accepted

[Pierre.CIHOLAS]

Hello,

 

First, thank you for your forums and the documentation section of your website, I learnt a lot about Prestashop in there.

 

I set up Prestashop on my server and I use prestashop to sell tickets (with a unique number on each ticket, saved in a mysql DB with Prestashop tables).

I just want to add some actions when orders placed on Prestashop are paid (when the payment is accepted, regardless of the payment method of course).

 

I was about to modify the PaymentModule class (classes/PaymentModule.php) and add my actions in there. Would it works ?

It will be problematic when I will update Prestashop to the lastest version (the file will probably be erased).

 

What is the best way to add actions when the payment of an order is accepted ?

 

Thank you in advance for your answers.

you can override the payment module class, this way you do not lose your changes. you just need to confirm the changes work on newer versions.

 

there might also be a hook on status updates, you could try exploring that as well

if i have to do this, then i would have made a module and used the hookPaymentReturn and checked the valid status of the order supplied in the params..

[bellini13]

that assumes that the payment status moves to accepted at the point of order completion, right? does hookPaymentReturn get invoked during status changes in the back office?

[vinaym]

1. not always, have to check the valid status of the order available in params
   
2. as per my understanding of prestashop, major hooks are only executed for front office, only few are for back office admin page, although code can be tweaked to do so. And this is not executed in backoffice state change of orders.

Hi I am interested also how to add a action when confirming payment, like send additional email or such

I want to do the same thing. I was hoping the hook "actionPaymentConfirmation" would do this for me. Running through with XDebug but the hook is never called when I set the order-status to "payment accepted" nor "payment remotly accepted". Rather new to Prestashop. Am I missing something?

    public function install() {
        
        if (!parent::install() || !$this->registerHook("actionPaymentConfirmation")) {
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    public function actionPaymentConfirmation($params) {
        ...// some code here, but function is not being invoked
    }

you could also try "actionOrderStatusUpdate" hook.  Both of these hooks are called when the order status is changed.  "actionOrderStatusUpdate" is called for any status change, "actionPaymentConfirmation" is only called for "PS_OS_PAYMENT" and "PS_OS_WS_PAYMENT"
