BubbleUp_Adminpayments

This module will allow you to enable certain payment methods for use when creating orders from the admin side, without enabling them on the front-end. The most common use-case is allowing Check/Money Order to be used on the admin side, without allowing it on the front-end, so that administrators can create orders without entering credit card info.

Installation and Setup Instructions

1. Download the zip file, or git clone the repo
2. Copy all of the contents from the BubbleUp_Adminpayments directory into your Magento Root directory. This can be done with drag-and-drop.
3. Clear caches if enabled.
4. In the admin panel, go to System=>Configuration=>Payment Methods=>Frontend Method Restrictions.
5. From the multi-select, choose whichever method(s) you want to be available from the admin panel (ie, Check/Money Order). You should now be able to place an order from the admin panel using those selected methods, but they will not display on the front-end.

Tip: Don't "enable" the payment method in its own configuration as this will make it appear on the front-end as well. All you must do is select it from the "Admin Only Methods" multi-select.

How it works

The module works by observing the payment_method_is_active event, and uses the ReflectionClass to force these (protected) class properties:

	'_canUseCheckout'       => false,
	'_canUseMultishipping'  => false,
	'_canUseInternal'       => true,
