I’d like to automate as much as possible but need some advice or suggestions on how to go about it.
The Goal: To have processing of quotes when advance is paid or when invoices are paid.
–Attempt 1: Stripe integration.
It works well, but i’d need to open up the ‘Client portal’. I have, almost exclusively, one-time customers and i provide installation services. So it does not make sense to have a client environment. I feel people would find it cumbersome to make an account and password. I could just disable logging in, but that invites problems of customers worried about security issues or even problems with regulation.
The solution to this problem could be to have no client environment at all but just a payment link via email or in the quote/invoice to go directly to the payment section (iDeal via stripe integration in my case). Afaik that’s not possible.
–Attempt 2: Zapier.
I have set it up like this in Zapier:
Trigger: 1. New Payment in Bunq (my bank account)
Action: 2. Find quote in Invoice Ninja
Action: 3. Create Payment in Invoice Ninja
The quote gives a dynamic link to Bunq where customers can pay via iDeal. The dynamic link also sets the description to ‘$number’. ‘Action: 2’ finds the quote and client via this description. Then the payment should be created with the given ID, Number and Amount. But alas, this step fails in Invoice Ninja and I am pretty sure it is because it expects the value $partial_due but Zapier does not have that option. I have not tried it yet with an invoice and $amount. I will try that for good measure when i have the time.
The solution might be to provide an option for partial payment via Zapier.
Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for your time.
Ok, so started to look for the cause of the 404. Mind you, the site has been working across the board for over a year. Including the client portal, gateway etc.
The logs don’t give any error.
–Appended “/public” to APP_URL in “.env”. php artisan optimize. It broke the site so reverted it back.
–Inspected “chromium” brave browser console. It gave the following errors:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT cookieconsent.min.js:1
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () ZIbJxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:1
Issues: 1. Audit usage of navigator.userAgent, navigator.appVersion, and navigator.platform
A page or script is accessing at least one of navigator.userAgent, navigator.appVersion, and navigator.platform. Starting in Chrome 101, the amount of information available in the User Agent string will be reduced.
To fix this issue, replace the usage of navigator.userAgent, navigator.appVersion, and navigator.platform with feature detection, progressive enhancement, or migrate to navigator.userAgentData.
Note that for performance reasons, only the first access to one of the properties is shown.
