Installation
Installing the Zotapay Magento 2 extension
The Zotapay Magento 2 extension can be installed in two ways, but both require access to the server’s command line interface (CLI).
Manual installation using FTP
1. Download the latest version of the module from GitHub or the Magento Marketplace.
2. Extract the module files and upload them to:
[Magento root]/app/code/Zotapay/Payment
3. Install the Zotapay PHP SDK (using CLI):
composer requires zotapay/p hp-sdk
4. Execute the following commands in your Magento root directory (using CLI):

Manual update using FTP

Overpayment and Partial Payment statuses
Some local solutions which Zotapay offers allow end user to deposit less or more funds, than they paid for the item. In order to highlight and track such orders, Zotapay’s Magento application has two additional statuses:
ZotaPay Partial Payment – the End User deposited less than the item costs
ZotaPay Overpayment – the End User deposited more than the item costs
When status is Overpaid or Partial Payment, the true paid amount needs to be displayed in the Payment & Shipping Method.
Partial Payment orders can become an order with processing status or overpayment status if connected via Zotapay’s solutions. Plugin will update statuses accordingly and automatically.
