We have a "free sample" product we need to implement. If this is the only product that is in the cart/basket, the shipping total will be $0 and taxes will be $0. Since we don't need to charge the customer, we skip the CC info step, and we have that all wired up, but I'm having trouble figuring out a way to open the order/invoice without calling preparation.AuthorizeCapturePayment().
Things I've tried:
* Calling preparation.AuthorizeCapturePayment with just the paymentMethodKey. This bombs out, likely because it's expecting certain arguments that are missing (CC info)
* Calling preparation.PrepareInvoice(). This creates the invoice, but the invoice appears as "Unpaid" in the dashboard.
You could enable the cash provider, not offer it as a payment method in your UI and then apply (AuthorizeCapture) a cash payment of $0. Would that do it?
@Rusty I enabled the Cash provider, but GetPaymentGatewayMethods() is still returning only Stripe. Tried touching web.config, and still no dice. Any ideas?
Edit: My apologies. I enabled the provider, but didn't add the method :/
@Biagio We no longer have the code in our project, as we removed the promotional functionality that caused the order balance to be $0. However, we just needed to enable and configure the cash provider, and when we loaded the payment screen, we bypassed credit card info if balance <= $0 (and display the order summary with something like "Click continue to complete your order"). Then when that page was submitted, we would again check the balance - if $0, then use the cash provider.

@Rusty Good idea - I'll give that a shot.

Everything appears to have worked. Thanks again.
How have you done? Could you share the code with other peoples, please?

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know you got it.
