We want to add a new payment method (Trade Account) which our sales staff can select in the admin backend when processing telephone orders but it shouldn't appear on the frontend for the customer to select. What is the best method to do that?

I accomplished this by adding a new Custom Payment Method called "Internal Payment" and api code "internal", which has its Order Start Status set to Paid. If this payment method is selected, it just marks the order paid. To prevent customers from seeing this option I created a customer group called Employees with api code "employee" then edited the shop:checkout_payment_method partial

After;

<? foreach ($payment_methods as $method):

Add:

      if ($this->get_customer_group()->code != "employee" && $method->ls_api_code == "internal")
        continue; 
    ?>

Hi!

We just added the "Enabled in the Administration Area" checkbox for payment and shipping methods.

Thank you
