In Commerce Server, how would I get authorizations and payments in real time
and batch?

Thanks,

David

Hi DavidNJ,

Some of the payment solution providers have written pipeline components that
you need to incorporate into your site pipelines. These components take the
CC information, merchant info (component configuration) amount and PO number
from predefined orderform keys and populate similar keys /w authorization
number and/or other information...

Some other payment service providers provide a web page which you must
redirect to with specific properties and you hsould inturn provide a web page
for them to return to which specific properties.

The above two cases would address the real-time issues. For batch related
stuff you can write a webservice or code into bizdesk a call to their web
service and such.

Payment processing is a two step affair. Authorization at purchase in
real-time and payment in batch after shipping.

I was hoping to find a pre-written interface that exposed some .Net classes,
required a small database, and handled all of the processing including XML
messaging.

For business purposes outside of my control, PaymenTech is the vendor for
payments that will be interfaced to. I was hoping that a solution was
available off the shelf.

Thanks,

David

Hi DavidNJ,

Yes I'm aware it is a two stage process.

I'd recommend you get in touch with PaymenTech and find out if their
merchant solution integrates with Commerce Server 2002 or what API's does it
have for payment processing... you can then use these API into a pipeline
component of your own... of if they support XPAY stds or such then you could
look at off-the-shelf-components for commerce server that support XPAY stds
and use them.

Hi,

I did a bit of checking up on the PaymenTech site and found that they have a
product which they call "Orbital Gateway"
http://www.paymentech.com/sol_gat_page.jsp which provides the API for
integrating into your storefront.

So from the looks of it, you could use this API and create a Pipeline
Component which would help you do the online payments through PaymenTech.

Hi David,

Take a look at CyberSource (http://www.cybersource). They provide both a
..NET and a Commerce Server pipeline component that interfaces with
Paymentech and other payment processors.

You will still have to do some work on the interface if you are looking to
plug into a Commerce Server solution. If you are looking for a stand alone
solution you would probably do best to look at Point-of-Sale solutions that
have an electronic interface to a payment gateway/processor. Your favorite
search engine will provide you a number of links to vendors offering
standalone point-of-sale solutions.

Cheers,
Colin

Are there any component providers that have a pipeline that works with
PayFlowPro? I realize I could create my own following their APIs, but time
is of the essence.
