Hi Darrel,
The issue regarding the First Data PayPlus gateway is currently being investigated by our programming dept., I have just checked on the status and their response is that the solution is still being researched and resolution to this this issue is not expected within the next 2 weeks.
Regarding Manual credit card processing, the module stores the customer‟s registration and credit card information in the database and you can process the credit card transaction at a later time manually through your credit card terminal or virtual terminal. Currently the ability to manually notify users once the payment has been processed is not currently supported. If you would like to recieve a fixed quote to add the manual email confirmation functionality, please send an email with a link to this post to sales@smith-consulting.com.
Thanks,
