New Payment Gateway development

Gidday,

I am using AC 7.0 and need to implement a payment gateway to an Australian Bank. I have set up the .net class based on the CommerceBuilder.Payments.Providers.PaymentProviderBase base class and have all the stub members to implement.

However I don't have enough information about the various CommerceBuilder types and what detail is required to return to AC to complete a transaction. Is there any documentation or, better still, examples I could get hold of? Unfortunately this is fairly urgent.

cheers
David

There is a link to an unfinished version of the chm help file here:

Thanks for this.

I have already got this and it is helpful to a point. Unfortunately it only tells you what the members are and not what values ar required.

For example the BuildConfigForm takes a Parent Control and returns nothing. I take it that this method is called as part of the Add Payment Gateway screen in AC and is required to specify the setup information for the gateway. However the doco does not tell me (for example) where to store that data for use in the DoAuthorize method.

cheers
David

You might be able to get some help from the payment gateway docs in Able 5.5:

Thanks,

I actually do have the sample 5.5 gateway SDK. However, from what I can see, the approaches are quite different. Certainly the class methods are very different.

Rather than experiment (which is fine but time consuming), I'd rather get some proper doco (or at least an example) to save time.

cheers

I've been running into the same thing as I press forward with my site.

You may be doing this already but...the only thing I can suggest is dig through the existing AC7 controls and code, looking at how they did certain things similar to what you are trying to do.

The Checkout folder and subfolders have some very interesting code pertaining to payment authorization etc. Just found those this morning myself.
