Configuring a custom payment plug-in

Follow the same process to configure a custom plug-in as you would follow to configure a plug-in that is provided with HCL Commerce.

About this task

If there are special properties that apply to the plug-in, ensure that the deployment descriptor includes those properties. Properties can also be set in the PaymentSystemPluginMapping.xml file. For more information about the deployment descriptor, see Payment plug-in specification.

If you want to use the address information that is entered by customers, ensure that the address parameters (keywords or name-value pairs) as provided in HCL Commerce match the requirements of both your payment plug-in and any payment back-end system your plug-in communicates with. Address information requirements can vary by locale and not all payment back-end systems use the same address data. The payment plug-ins that are provided with HCL Commerce generally process commonly used address parameters

Procedure

  1. When you configure the payment and refund methods for your store, specify the payment system name that is associated with the plug-in you intend to use. The PaymentMethodConfigurations.xml and RefundMethodConfigurations.xml file should contain a payment system name that matches the payment system name that is known to HCL Commerce.
  2. Ensure the PaymentSystemMappingPlugin.xml file is configured appropriately for the plug-in.
  3. Set up the payment business policies as appropriate. See Payment, refund, and return payment business policies.

Results

Your store can process payment transactions with the payment plug-in.
