The '''SupportedTransactions''' property lets Ablecommerce know which transactions are supported by this payment gateway implementation. Based on the transactions supported by the payment provider Ablecommerce makes appropriate calls to the provider. Here is how '''SupportedTransactions''' property is implemented in the Authorize.NET implementation.
 +
<code>
 +
<pre>
 +
        public override SupportedTransactions SupportedTransactions
 +
        {
 +
            get
 +
            {
 +
                return (SupportedTransactions.Authorize
 +
                        | SupportedTransactions.AuthorizeCapture
 +
                        | SupportedTransactions.Capture
 +
                        | SupportedTransactions.PartialRefund
 +
                        | SupportedTransactions.Refund
 +
                        | SupportedTransactions.Void
 +
                        | SupportedTransactions.RecurringBilling);
 +
            }
 +
        }
 +
</pre>
 +
</code>
 +
 +
 +
The most important methods where the actual work gets don are '''Doxxx''' methods. These method are where the implementation connect to the remote provider in order to execute its supported transactions. Implementation of these methods varies for each provider. Some providers may use XML based APIs while others may use HTML Form based APIs. Depending on how your provider likes to be talked to you will implement these methods accordingly. To see how these methods are implemented for Authorize.NET implementation download the complete source of Authorize.NET implementation here. TODO : Provide Authorize.NET provider download
 +
 +
 +
An important part of getting a payment provider implemented is to get it integrated in the merchant admin console. From the merchant admin, you will add or edit the gateway configuration settings for your implementation. '''BuildConfigForm''' creates the web form that is used for this purpose. In this method you create an appropriate form inside the given ASP.NET control. An example of how the Authorize.NET implementation in AC7 creates its configuration form is given below.
 +
 +
<code>
 +
<pre>
 +
        public override void BuildConfigForm(Control parentControl)
 +
        {
 +
            //CREATE CONFIG TABLE
 +
            HtmlTable configTable = new HtmlTable();

 +
 +
 +
The '''Initialize''' method is called by Ablecommerce at the time of creatation of the payment provider object. The configuration parameters loaded from the database are passed to this method. The implementation classes should read their custom configuration parameters and initialize themselves in this method accordingly.
 +
Here is how '''Initialize''' is implemented in Authorize.NET implementation.
 +
<code>
 +
<pre>
 +
        public override void Initialize(int PaymentGatewayId, Dictionary<string, string> ConfigurationData)
 +
        {
 +
            base.Initialize(PaymentGatewayId, ConfigurationData);
 +
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("MerchantLogin")) MerchantLogin = ConfigurationData["MerchantLogin"];
 +
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("TransactionKey")) TransactionKey = ConfigurationData["TransactionKey"];
 +
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("UseAuthCapture")) UseAuthCapture = AlwaysConvert.ToBool(ConfigurationData["UseAuthCapture"], true);
 +
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("GatewayMode")) GatewayMode = (GatewayModeOption)AlwaysConvert.ToInt(ConfigurationData["GatewayMode"]);
 +
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("IsSecureSource")) IsSecureSource = (ConfigurationData["IsSecureSource"] == "on");
 +
        }
 +
</pre>
 +
</code>
 +
 +
 +
If '''BuildConfigForm''' and '''Initialize''' methods are implemented correctly, saving and loading of configuraion parametes will be handled transparently by Ablecommerce.
 +
 +
 +
The '''GetLogoUrl''' is supposed to return a URL that would give the logo of the provider. This URL can be an external URL or it can be a URL returning the logo from an embedded resource. This is not a very important method as it does not affect the actual functioning of the provider. Here is an example of how this method is implemented for Authorize.NET. The logo in Authorize.NET provider is embedded in the DLL.
 +
<code>
 +
<pre>
 +
        public override string GetLogoUrl(ClientScriptManager cs)
 +
        {
 +
            if (cs != null)
 +
                return cs.GetWebResourceUrl(this.GetType(), "CommerceBuilder.Payments.Providers.AuthorizeNet.Logo.gif");
 +
            return string.Empty;
 
         }
 
         }

To integrate a payment gateway with Ablecommerce 7 you need to implement CommerceBuilder.Payments.Providers.IPaymentProvider interface. This interface defines how payment providers interact with Ablecommerce.

In version 7.0 final, IPaymentProvider interface is defined as follows

    /// <summary>
    /// Interface that all payment providers implementations must implement
    /// </summary>
    public interface IPaymentProvider
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Id of the payment gateway in database. Id is passed at the time of initialization.
        /// </summary>
        int PaymentGatewayId { get; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Name of the payment provider implementation
        /// </summary>
        string Name { get; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Description of the payment provider implementation
        /// </summary>
        string Description { get; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Version of the payment provider implementation
        /// </summary>
        string Version { get; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Whether debug mode is enabled or not
        /// </summary>
        bool UseDebugMode { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// The transactions that are supported by the payment provider implementation
        /// </summary>
        SupportedTransactions SupportedTransactions { get; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Initializes the payment provider implementation. Called by AC at the time of initialization.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="PaymentGatewayId">Id of the payment gateway in database</param>
        /// <param name="ConfigurationData">Configuration data as name-value pairs</param>
        void Initialize(int PaymentGatewayId, Dictionary<String, String> ConfigurationData);

        /// <summary>
        /// Builds an input form for getting configuration data. Input form is built inside the given
        /// ASP.NET parent control.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="parentControl">ASP.NET control to which to add the input form</param>
        void BuildConfigForm(System.Web.UI.Control parentControl);

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets a reference string to identify a particular configuration.
        /// </summary>
        string ConfigReference { get; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Gets a URL for the logo of the payment provider implementation
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="cs">ClientScriptManager</param>
        /// <returns>A Url for the logo of the payment provider implementation</returns>
        string GetLogoUrl(System.Web.UI.ClientScriptManager cs);

        /// <summary>
        /// Submits an authorization request
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="authorizeRequest">The authorization request</param>
        /// <returns>Transaction that represents the result of the authorization request</returns>
        Transaction DoAuthorize(AuthorizeTransactionRequest authorizeRequest);

        /// <summary>
        /// Submits a capture request for a previously authorized transaction
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="captureRequest">The capture request</param>
        /// <returns>Transaction that represents the result of the capture request</returns>
        Transaction DoCapture(CaptureTransactionRequest captureRequest);

        /// <summary>
        /// Submits a refund request for a previously captured transaction
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="creditRequest">The refund request</param>
        /// <returns>Transaction that represents the result of the refund request</returns>
        Transaction DoRefund(RefundTransactionRequest creditRequest);

        /// <summary>
        /// Submits a void request for a previously authorized transaction
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="voidRequest">The void request</param>
        /// <returns>Transaction that represents the result of the void request</returns>
        Transaction DoVoid(VoidTransactionRequest voidRequest);

        /// <summary>
        /// Submits a recurring billing authorization request.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="authorizeRequest">An authorize request that contains the details of the order and payment.</param>
        /// <returns>A transaction instance that contains the results of the recurring billing request</returns>
        AuthorizeRecurringTransactionResponse DoAuthorizeRecurring(AuthorizeRecurringTransactionRequest authorizeRequest);

        /// <summary>
        /// Requests cancellation of a recurring billing authorization.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="cancelRequest">A cancel request that contains the details of the recurring payment.</param>
        /// <returns>A transaction instance that cnotains the results of the cancel recurring billing request.</returns>
        Transaction CancelAuthorizeRecurring(CancelRecurringTransactionRequest cancelRequest);
    }

To implement a payment provider you can either implement the IPaymentProvider interface directly or you can extend the CommerceBuilder.Payments.Providers.PaymentProviderBase class. For the sake of easy upgrades in future it is highly recommended that you extend PaymentProviderBase class instead of directly implementing the IPaymentProvider interface. The PaymentProviderBase class abstracts out the repetitive tasks and provides you some additional utility functions.

The PaymentProviderBase class is defined as follows

    /// <summary>
    /// A base class that can be extended by payment provider implementations
    /// </summary>
    public abstract class PaymentProviderBase : IPaymentProvider
    {

        #region IPaymentProvider Members

        private int _PaymentGatewayId;
        public int PaymentGatewayId { get { return _PaymentGatewayId;}}
                
        public abstract string Name { get; }
        public abstract string Description { get; }
        public abstract string Version { get; }

        bool _UseDebugMode;
        public bool UseDebugMode
        {
            get { return _UseDebugMode; }
            set { _UseDebugMode = value; }
        }

        public abstract SupportedTransactions SupportedTransactions { get; }

        public virtual void Initialize(int PaymentGatewayId, Dictionary<String, String> ConfigurationData)
        {
            this._PaymentGatewayId = PaymentGatewayId;
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("UseDebugMode")) UseDebugMode = bool.Parse(ConfigurationData["UseDebugMode"]);
        }

        public abstract void BuildConfigForm(System.Web.UI.Control parentControl);

        public abstract string ConfigReference { get; }

        public abstract string GetLogoUrl(System.Web.UI.ClientScriptManager cs);

        public abstract Transaction DoAuthorize(AuthorizeTransactionRequest authorizeRequest);

        public abstract Transaction DoCapture(CaptureTransactionRequest captureRequest);

        public abstract Transaction DoRefund(RefundTransactionRequest creditRequest);

        public abstract Transaction DoVoid(VoidTransactionRequest voidRequest);

        public virtual AuthorizeRecurringTransactionResponse DoAuthorizeRecurring(AuthorizeRecurringTransactionRequest authorizeRequest)
        {
            Transaction transaction = new Transaction();
            transaction.PaymentGatewayId = this.PaymentGatewayId;
            transaction.TransactionType = authorizeRequest.TransactionType;
            transaction.TransactionStatus = TransactionStatus.Failed;
            transaction.ResponseCode = "U";
            transaction.ResponseMessage = "Recurring billing is unsupported by this gateway integration.";
            transaction.RemoteIP = authorizeRequest.RemoteIP;
            AuthorizeRecurringTransactionResponse response = new AuthorizeRecurringTransactionResponse();
            response.Status = transaction.TransactionStatus;
            response.AddTransaction(transaction);
            return response;
        }

        public virtual Transaction CancelAuthorizeRecurring(CancelRecurringTransactionRequest cancelRequest)
        {
            Transaction transaction = new Transaction();
            transaction.PaymentGatewayId = this.PaymentGatewayId;
            transaction.TransactionType = cancelRequest.TransactionType;
            transaction.TransactionStatus = TransactionStatus.Failed;
            transaction.ResponseCode = "U";
            transaction.ResponseMessage = "Cancellation of recurring billing is unsupported by this gateway integration.";
            transaction.RemoteIP = cancelRequest.RemoteIP;

When you extend PaymentProviderBase class you need to implement the abstract methods and properties defined in this class. Some of the properties and methods are for information purposes only and are easy to implement. For example Name, Description, and Version. Here is an example of how these methods are implemented in Authorize.NET provider.

        public override string Name
        {
            get { return "Authorize.Net"; }
        }

        public override string Description
        {
            get { return "Authorize.Net is the preferred payment gateway among resellers and merchants for managing payment transactions using the power and speed of the Internet. Authorize.Net also provides other business enhancing products that help merchants manage their transactions. For more information about Authorize.Net, see the <a href=\"http://www.authorizenet.com/company/aboutus\" target=\"_blank\">About Us</a> page."; }
        }

        public override string Version
        {
            get { return "AIM 3.1"; }
        }


The SupportedTransactions property lets Ablecommerce know which transactions are supported by this payment gateway implementation. Based on the transactions supported by the payment provider Ablecommerce makes appropriate calls to the provider. Here is how SupportedTransactions property is implemented in the Authorize.NET implementation.

        public override SupportedTransactions SupportedTransactions
        {
            get
            {
                return (SupportedTransactions.Authorize 
                        | SupportedTransactions.AuthorizeCapture 
                        | SupportedTransactions.Capture 
                        | SupportedTransactions.PartialRefund 
                        | SupportedTransactions.Refund 
                        | SupportedTransactions.Void 
                        | SupportedTransactions.RecurringBilling);
            }
        }


The most important methods where the actual work gets don are Doxxx methods. These method are where the implementation connect to the remote provider in order to execute its supported transactions. Implementation of these methods varies for each provider. Some providers may use XML based APIs while others may use HTML Form based APIs. Depending on how your provider likes to be talked to you will implement these methods accordingly.

An important part of getting a payment provider implemented is to get it integrated in the merchant admin console. From the merchant admin, you will add or edit the gateway configuration settings for your implementation. BuildConfigForm creates the web form that is used for this purpose. In this method you create an appropriate form inside the given ASP.NET control. An example of how the Authorize.NET implementation in AC7 creates its configuration form is given below.

        public override void BuildConfigForm(Control parentControl)
        {
            //CREATE CONFIG TABLE
            HtmlTable configTable = new HtmlTable();
            configTable.CellPadding = 4;
            configTable.CellSpacing = 0;
            HtmlTableRow currentRow;
            HtmlTableCell currentCell;
            configTable.Attributes.Add("class", "inputForm");
            configTable.Attributes.Add("style", "border:none");

            //ADD CAPTION
            currentRow = new HtmlTableRow();
            currentCell = new HtmlTableCell("th");
            currentCell.Attributes.Add("class", "sectionHeader");
            currentCell.ColSpan = 2;
            HyperLink gatewayLink = new HyperLink();
            gatewayLink.Text = this.Name;
            gatewayLink.NavigateUrl = "http://www.authorizenet.com";

The Initialize method is called by Ablecommerce at the time of creatation of the payment provider object. The configuration parameters loaded from the database are passed to this method. The implementation classes should read their custom configuration parameters and initialize themselves in this method accordingly. Here is how Initialize is implemented in Authorize.NET implementation.

        public override void Initialize(int PaymentGatewayId, Dictionary<string, string> ConfigurationData)
        {
            base.Initialize(PaymentGatewayId, ConfigurationData);
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("MerchantLogin")) MerchantLogin = ConfigurationData["MerchantLogin"];
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("TransactionKey")) TransactionKey = ConfigurationData["TransactionKey"];
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("UseAuthCapture")) UseAuthCapture = AlwaysConvert.ToBool(ConfigurationData["UseAuthCapture"], true);
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("GatewayMode")) GatewayMode = (GatewayModeOption)AlwaysConvert.ToInt(ConfigurationData["GatewayMode"]);
            if (ConfigurationData.ContainsKey("IsSecureSource")) IsSecureSource = (ConfigurationData["IsSecureSource"] == "on");
        }


If BuildConfigForm and Initialize methods are implemented correctly, saving and loading of configuraion parametes will be handled transparently by Ablecommerce.


The GetLogoUrl is supposed to return a URL that would give the logo of the provider. This URL can be an external URL or it can be a URL returning the logo from an embedded resource. This is not a very important method as it does not affect the actual functioning of the provider. Here is an example of how this method is implemented for Authorize.NET. The logo in Authorize.NET provider is embedded in the DLL.

        public override string GetLogoUrl(ClientScriptManager cs)
        {
            if (cs != null)
                return cs.GetWebResourceUrl(this.GetType(), "CommerceBuilder.Payments.Providers.AuthorizeNet.Logo.gif");
            return string.Empty;
        }
