Hello, everybody!

The idea of my enquiry is to offer users ability to buy services (in my case) via their site-maintained account. I mean users will increase amount of money on their account using conventional payment methods and than use this amount to purchase services. This is largely spread among social networking sites and I'm sure you all know how it should like.
But I didn't find anything like this for both e-Commerce and Ubercart projects.

Yes this is possible but not fully implemented yet.

Because of the way that e-Commerce implements receipts it, is possible to have unallocated receipts in the system and then people can select to use credit when they are checking out and have checkout allocate the current transaction to the unallocated credits.

Also because receipting is not a part of the cart system the it is not a difficult thing to create a payment form to allow people to make the payments.

This is not a big job and it on my list of TODO's for things that I would like to get this done one day. With some help I can get it done sooner.

-- Notes --

Back office adjustment: will also need to make some changes to the allocation reversal so that an optional hold can be put on a receipt so that someone can't make a purchase something on a receipt that has a hold so that the admin can reallocate it without it being spent.

Thanks for reply, gordon. Now I know what functionality I will use in future project.
It turned out that e-commerce is too complex for the task of mine and I backed off to PG API and PG Account. Nevertheless it is good that it is in your TODO list. Good luck with it.
