Kayako to WHMCS Integration
Posted by Sean Bowtell on 08 October 2011 04:12 AM
It has been a while but we have taken in customer feedback and are slowly integrating our Kayako to WHMCS integration module, this is slowly being advanced but will take some time to complete. The new changes will allow users to interact with SpeedySparrow Staff and Management more easily as well as view everything in one easy customized panel.

The new changes include the ability to:
  •     Open/Close tickets via the Client Area
  •     View tickets actively open, awaiting-reply, on hold, and in progress.
  •     View tickets from the main Client Area Home
  •     View Knowledge-base articles
  •     View Announcements
  •     Select product group from open tickets and set activeness

Current known bugs:
  •     Unable to close active tickets
  •     Unable to view knowledge-base articles
  •     Unable to view content on announcements
  •     Unable to view closed tickets
  •     Closed tickets count towards open ticket statistics (when enabled)

More changes will be processed accordingly, though this is a great step towards our Kayako to WHMCS integration which will allow users/customers to access everything from one pre-defined location so no more switching back and forth between platforms to view tickets and invoices.

2Checkout Payment Confusion
Posted by Sean Bowtell on 16 August 2011 06:43 AM

Over recent months we have noticed several customers overpaying us (not such a bad thing of course) by accident due to their invoices not reflecting a "Paid Status" after their initial payment was made, due to these issues we thought it may be best to outline the reasons why your payments made via 2Checkout are not marked as instantly paid when done at a specific time.

When you organize to pay your account balance via 2Checkout whether it be via their Credit Card facility or via their PayPal option, the details are taken in by 2Checkout to initiate a secondary "anti-fraud" check which usually takes from a few minutes to a maximum of 24-hours to be acknowledged then approved and/or denied depending on whether or not 2Checkout deems the payment as fraudulent or not.

Due to the secondary anti-fraud check that is initiated all invoices will remain unpaid until the status of the payment is approved, if the payment is approved then the API will call back to SpeedySparrow and will mark your invoice as paid (so please do not initiate a secondary payment until the fraud check is complete). If on the other hand the payment is denied or is not approved the invoice will remain as unpaid or may be changed depending on the status, either "Unpaid" and/or "Cancelled", the same will apply to new orders that are made under our network and no invoice or service is setup until this process has completed.

Due to that fact that we have seen a massive rise in fraudulent orders over the last few months we have decided that we will still apply anti-fraud checks on new and existing customers to ensure that every customer that we hold under our network is protected from any acts of fraud and/or possible acts of fraud against them, these have been accepted as standard policies and will continue to be pushed forward as an option to keep enabled to prevent any unwanted users abusing our networks and/or services.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these actions please do not hesitate to let us know, we would be more than happy to assist you with your enquiries.

Though please do remember that if you are paying via 2Checkout either via Credit Card and/or PayPal please do not initiate a secondary payment until you receive notification of the payment originally made being cleared and/or accepted by the gateway. You may also follow up any paid invoices to our billing department if you are worried they have not been approved, or may not be approved for any circumstance. Most invoices will correct themselves accordingly as per the automated systems, if your invoice does not reflect any status change after 24-hours please do address them to us and we will do our best to provide you more accurate information about the process of your payment.

We do apologize if this comes to any inconvenience, though we are here to assist if you require our help!

You may see more details here:
