EBS PaymentGateway Integration

[madhu]

I am trying to understand how broadleaf handles payment gateway stuff by default and update the demo application to connect the EBS payment gateway. I went through the code and by default broadlead uses DefaultModule to handle the authorize and debit features of Payment Gateway

If i write a custome PaymentModule for handling the EBS payment gateway and then override the spring context in the site, will that be sufficient ? I just want the request to go the EBS url mentioned below rather than the broadleaf default

Since we already have accounts with EBS we dont want to use PayPal as of now. So just wanted to check if this works
Please guide me on the same

Unfortunately, different Payment Gateways have their own unique protocols for handling communication between the merchant (your eCommerce site) and itself, so there is usually no one easy drag and drop solution that encompasses all payment gateways.

We've already developed some integrations for common payment gateways: Cybersource, Authorize.net, PayPal, Braintree, etc..., but we have not developed an integration with EBC as you mentioned below. The best place to start would be to take a look at http://docs.broadleafcommerce.org/curre ... odule.html, and getting a better understanding of how the Broadleaf Checkout flow works: http://docs.broadleafcommerce.org/curre ... kflow.html

From there, I would understand how exactly the integration to EBC is done and look at one of the existing Broadleaf Payment modules as a template.

For example:

- Does EBC provide an API for direct server to server communication? (i.e. the Credit Card information is passed to your server and then relayed to the gateway? If so, take a look at http://docs.broadleafcommerce.org/curre ... odule.html
- Does EBC provide a mechanism for a Transparent Redirect or Silent Post? (i.e. the Credit Card form is sent directly to EBC thereby bypassing the merchant servers? If so, take a look at http://docs.broadleafcommerce.org/curre ... e.net.html
- Does EBC provide a mechanism for a Hosted Order Page? (i.e. you get redirected to EBC's servers to enter your credit card information. If so, take a look at http://docs.broadleafcommerce.org/curre ... odule.html)

The many different integration options that the Payment Gateway provides will determine how Broadleaf should integrate with it.
Hope that helps.
