Pay Now link working, but forcing login

[Nahuel]

Hello,

I've an issue with the Pay Now link for the sent invoices. 

They're correctly being sent, and if you click the link on the mail, it will open you the invoice and allowing you to choose a payment method. But when you click on "review and confirm" it takes you to the login page.

I've read that this might be caused because of a http / https issue. But I've checked and: 1) the link in the mail is correctly using https and 2) i'm forcing https on the site (even with a hack I found on the forum). Also, I thought that this might be related to some payment method, but trying with an offline one (bank transfer), I still have the same issue.

What could I do to fix this?

I just tested this myself and it looks like a bug. We'll have to fix it for v4.6.

In the meantime, you could comment out a few lines of code in one of the files to work around the issue:

In /app/controllers/client_pay.php, toward the top, find:

if (!empty($payment) && isset($payment['client_id']) && $payment['client_id'] != $blesta_client_id) {
    $this->Session->clear('payment');
    $payment = null;
}

add 2 slashes at the beginning of each line, i.e.:

//if (!empty($payment) && isset($payment['client_id']) && $payment['client_id'] != $blesta_client_id) {
//    $this->Session->clear('payment');
//    $payment = null;
//}

Save that, and customers should get to the confirm page now.

When making a payment without being logged in, the system looks for a hash to be included to verify the user. If it is not included, or it is invalid, you will be redirected to log in.

If you aren't already, I would suggest making sure you are running the latest version of Blesta, currently v4.5.2. There was a change in that version that resolved a similar issue that might cause the behavior you experience, but only if you click that pay link while you are currently logged in as an admin.

Hello Tyson, thanks for your answer.

I'm on 4.5.2. How can I verify if the hash is there at the moment of paying? Maybe there's something broke on the link generated.

Well, it works now!

Glad I helped somehow to find a little bug.

Thanks, Tyson.

Hello @Tyson, sorry for the bump. Is there a way for me to get the pay now link on Blesta without sending the invoice? Sometimes I want to give the direct link through WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, or in a personal mail, and it's just easier for me to do it than sending me the invoice and copying the link.

Not currently. The pay link is only generated when the invoice is being sent by email.
