Third Party Gateway

Follow the steps below to create a third party gateway module.

Implementation guide

1. Delete the yourmodulename_capture function from the module template since this is only required for Merchant Gateway modules.
2. Define and return the HTML code that will forward the user to the payment gateway to complete the payment process inside the yourmodulename_link function. This is typically done by way of an HTML form utilizing the POST method.
3. Optionally, if your payment gateway supports sending notifications upon successful receipt of payments, create a Callback File to receive and handle those.
4. If your payment gateway supports refunds, implement support for Refunds.

The following parameters are passed to the _link function along with all defined configuration parameters and their values.

Simple Example

Below is a very simple demonstration of a link function that forwards the end user to https://www.example.com/checkout using a form post containing the invoice data. For a more complete example, please refer to the Sample Third Party Gateway module on Github.

function yourmodulename_link($params) {
    return '<form method="post" action="https://www.example.com/checkout">
        <input type="invoice_number" value="' . $params['invoiceid'] . '" />
        <input type="description" value="' . $params['description'] . '" />
        <input type="amount" value="' . $params['amount'] . '" />
        <input type="currency" value="' . $params['currency'] . '" />
        <input type="submit" value="' . $params['langpaynow'] . '" />
        </form>';
}
