Question

There is a Pay Later option in CCP/PCP. How to enable/disable it?

Answer

Pay Later option is managed by the feature FEA_DisablePayLater in the billing database and does not have any UI controls. It can be changed only through database update, the service pba must be restarted to apply the changes:

service pba restart

The status of the FEA_DisablePayLater feature can be checked in the table "Features" of the billing database.

         FeatureName     | IsActive
    ---------------------+----------
     FEA_DisablePayLater |        0

Where the "IsActive" field can have one of the two values:

  • 0 means the Pay Later feature is enabled and can be used by a customer having no default payment method when placing an order through CCP v1 or PCP/RCP;
  • 1 means the Pay Later feature is disabled for using from CCP v1 or PCP/RCP.

Note: The Pay Later payment option still can be used by a vendor to place an order on behalf of their customers. There are two cases for this option to be shown: - Either a customer or their vendor has no default payment method enabled; - Customer class has enabled Per Account Billing Type as described in the Configuring Customer Class section of OA Billing Provider's Guide.

If you need to change the status of the FEA_DisablePayLater feature, please contact Odin Technical Support since this action requires database updates.
