Enable partial card payments #1216

Open vohmar opened 5 months ago

vohmar commented 5 months ago

With high bid auctions new problem has arisen - winner is not able to pay for the win in one card payment due to set limit on payment size. With foreign users there might not be another option available as user does not have access to open banking options. Also we just had a case where our bank refused to accept bank transfer due to source bank being considered high risk.

To solve this issue we should enable partial card payments

see two options here:

  1. solve it with everypay - enable user to change the payment amount and handle the partial receipt. We have testide this before and had some issues with this. but wort to take another look
  2. the other option would be to solve this on auction side. User can select feature to divide auction payments into smaller subpayments. As a result system generates payments links for these subpayments (sub-invoices) and once all the partial payments have been made system marks the big invoice as paid

asked from everypay about partial payments - it's not possible at the moment, it is planned but not available yet. So it leaves us with option 2 where we could create payment links for separate partial payments for a given invoice. The system needs to keep track of the payments and mark the invoice as paid once all the sub-payments are successful
