the ‘Basic Payment Method’ from Payment module is very versatile.
It can be used for
- 'no pay' test cases - easily pay for an order without actually paying. Comes in handy when testing a Drupal site.
- ‘Pay later’ cases - for customers paying with a check, with a bank transfer, cash on delivery or if one wants to pay at ‘in store pickup’.
- Free orders - providing a payment solution for your customers so they get the order for free.
Note that you can add as many ‘Basic Payment Methods’ as you like, so having both a ‘check’ and ‘cash on delivery’ Payment method during checkout is entirely possible.

Next is to configure the Basic Payment method.
Configuring a ‘no payment’ payment method for test cases
go to admin/config/services/payment/method
click ‘add Payment Method’
Click Basic
(url is now admin/config/services/payment/method/add/PaymentMethodBasicController)
Enter the Specific title for admins and the generic title as seen by customers.
Make sure the ‘Final payment status’ is set to ‘Completed’.
Configuring a ‘Pay Later’ Payment method
(for checks, bank transfers, cash on delivery, in store payment, etc)
The first steps are the same as configuring a ‘no payment’ payment method
Final Payment status
You probably want to set the ‘Final Payment status’ setting to ‘Pending’.
This way the orders' payment status will be set to 'pending' during checkout.
Make sure you set the orders' Payment status to 'Completed' once the customer actually paid (for example when you confirmed the check or the bank transfer).
Payment form message
Enter the information your customer needs to be able to pay in the ‘Payment form message’ field. It will show when
Configuring a Payment method for Free Orders
First go through the same steps as configuring a ‘no payment’ payment method for test cases.
Next we need to show the payment method only when the orders ‘order balance’ equals zero.
Drupal Commerce
Go to admin/commerce/config/payment-methods
and edit the ‘Free order’ payment method.
Add a Condition ‘Order Balance Comparison’
and set the operator to ‘=’ and the value to ‘0’.
