Billing and Invoices
October 08, 2013, 03:25:13 pm
CiviCRM has many features that we need, but lacks some functionality that we'd like.

I would like to be able to create orders, invoice clients and receive payments (paypal or other payment gateway) on the fly. For example, I would like to go to a clients page and click something to add a new contribution/membership then send or print an invoice for this order. The client can then choose to click a link on the invoice to pay online or offline via other means(cheque, over the phone etc.)

We are using the latest CiviCRM on Joomla 2.5.11 platform.
Any advice on this matter would be appreciated.

At the moment you can not create orders or invoices with CiviCRM. This kind of functionality would lean towards ERP rather than CRM. You should be able to receive contributions, event fees or membership dues with paypal and other payment gateways (based on the available payment processors).
What you could do is develop extensions to CiviCRM to provide the functionality you lack. You can do that yourselves if you have PHP, MySQL en jQuery skills available in your organisation, or get a CiviCRM implementor to do it with you. A list of CiviCRM implementors can be found here: https://civicrm.org/providers
Does that answer your question?
