Creating a payment configuration group for your store

In this part of the tutorial, you create a payment configuration group for your store. WebSphere Commerce provides a ready-to-use payment configuration group named default that you can use for your store, so you can ignore this step. But if you want two different configurations for the same payment method in different stores, you must create another payment configuration group. The payment configuration group is uniquely configured for one combination of payment method and the store. Such a combination can have only one payment configuration group configured. This mapping is configured in the POLICY table for payment business policy. You configure this in step 6 of this tutorial.

About this task

In this tutorial, we take the Madisons starter store, and we create a new payment configuration group called myGroup. Follow these steps to create a payment configuration group:

Procedure

1. In the WC_eardir/xml/config/payments/edp/groups directory, copy the default subdirectory then paste it in the same directory.
2. The copied subdirectory is named default_copy, rename the subdirectory to myGroup.

Results

You have now created your new payment configuration group myGroup. This group now has the same configuration as the default group.

In the next step of the tutorial, you learn how to configure each configuration XML file for the new payment configuration group.
