My client has a drupal + ubercart site. now he wants to setup a product for preorder. Meaning, take the credit card info now, but charge only after 5 months. Is there any way this can be achieved?
originally I thought about using authorization (the site is using paypal as gateway). But, the authorizations lasts only 29 days.
I understand that storing all the credit card info is a big no-no. but maybe there is some solution to this?
This would need PayPal Preapproved Payments, available via the PayPal Adaptive Payments API.
Buyers would authorize (preapprove) you to charge them at a later date for up to a certain amount. When that time comes, you would simply call the PayPal Adaptive
PayAPI and charge them.For an example checkout flow, see the Adaptive Payments Developer Guide (page 25)
See also page 171 onwards for an integration example with the
PreapprovalAPI.
