Checkout – Create Dummy Payment Method

checkoutpayment-methods

I am trying to create a Payment Method in Magento for Internal Use. Basically it is to track inventory for company expenses for products removed from the inventory internally.

Can a checkout payment method be null or skipped so I can create an order on the frontend without requiring payment? Or should I just use the "Other" payment method without authorization?

I typically use the "Check/Money order" in this scenario - you can change the frontend name to be whatever you prefer. You can always whip something up to hide the option and have it always be selected.

I am not sure what event you are listening to but what I would suggest would be using the event sales_model_service_quote_submit_success this should be triggered after any quote is successfully transformed into an order.

One of the items passed to the event is the order object itself and to get the payment method you can do as follows.

$order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
$payment_method_code = $order->getPayment()->getMethodInstance()->getCode();
