I already set up a custom gateway, however, I need to add some custom payment methods.

I didn´t found manuals that teach how to customize these methods.

Can anybody help me?

Hello mazhar, thanks.

But none of the available payment methods resolves my problems, that´s why I need to create a new one, for example, a new credit card payment method where the user won´t enter a credit card number and enter only personal data, then when that user checkout a new secure window from my gateway operator will open.

On that window the user will pass the credit card information.

That´s it. Sorry for my english, and thanks for help.

Are there any of the payment methods that you are not using? Purchase order perhaps?

Maybe you could create a payment method and assign it to the purchase order type. Then, you could go modify the purchase order payment form so that it collected the personal data. Then you could modify the receipt and view order pages so that if your special purchase order payment was detected, it could provide a way to redirect the customer to the payment form.

This is very similar to how we handle legacy PayPal payments. If the customer chooses the "PayPal" method, at the conclusion of the order process the receipt page shows a "Pay Now" button in the payment details. The customer can then click this button to transfer to the paypal site and pay for the order.
