the order placed before finish payment

[moamen-ui]

Magento 2.2.3

When chose Payfort as payment:
Result => the order placed before I type the credit card details and order status is Pending.
Expected => the order should be place after Payfort confirm the payment.

Dear @moamen-ui
It is the default behaviour of any payment gateway to place order before redirecting to gateway page.
They need a merchant reference to show in the transactions which is order id of merchant website.
The flow is create order as "new" or "pending" and once the payment is done, it changes status to "confirmed" or "processed"

@malikabid it is not entirely true about the payment gateways to redirect to gateway page before placing an order. The limitation is actually coming from Payfort itself.

I am facing the same issue and I did a lot of research about it and found that Magento has this capability. The default Magento Braintree payment module is using the same way of Authorize, then place order and then capture the payment.

Magneto provides a set of tools for this feature and it is called Gateway Command Pools. Magento provides a set of commands like Authorize, Sale, Capture, Refund, Cancel etc. For the payment workflow of Authorize, Sale and then Capture we need to have an API for Authorize as it is not possible to have a redirection to Payfort authorization page if you need to authorize payment before placing an order.

Payfort is providing API for Capture (Purchase) and if Payfort provides APIs for Authorization, then this issue can be fixed easily at the customer side.

Regarding the merchant reference, according to the documentation, we can use any unique value for this purpose, and it can be handled easily even before placing the order. According to payfort in merchant reference, we can pass fort ID also which is received in Authorization process.

I hope Payfort will soon provide an API for Authorization.

Payfort has a Authorization API already - it always has. However, the payfort Authorization API too needs merchant ref number, hence logically there has to be a order placed with pending status. Using custom order status, you could also set the status to "payment pending"

A good discussion going on. Hope we get something soon from this. I agree with Altaf Hussain and in my opinion it can be handled in a much better way. Hope PayFort Development team will better it. M. A. Hussain
