Take an order without the transaction

Support
#1

I have a situation where I would like to offer shipping options for local deliveries but for anything outside of my region I would like to be able to provide a quote independently of Snipcart.

Ideally orders outside my area would come through but without any monetary transaction, that way I receive an email that I got an order and I can respond with a quote for the product including shipping costs.

I specifically want to avoid taking the transaction for the product because I don’t want to respond with a quote for shipping and need to reimburse the product if the shipping is too much.

Is this possible?

Hi @fred, thanks for reaching out.

One option would be to use the Deferred Payments option, but instead of using it for check or cash payments, you change the wording in the checkout to use that as a quote option.

But I’m not sure if this would work for your case.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,

Hi @nelitow thanks for the response, is it possible to set deferred payment based on location, so that people outside of my shipping region are only given the choice to use deferred payments?

Anyway it looks promising, thanks again!

It would take some customization, but you could for example hide the button if the State is not the one you need.

For that, you would probably need to customize the billing component.

Thanks.
