Global pay integration/module

[easyphil]

Hello,
Please i need to integrate a global pay module (API) to my zen website in order to accept card payment. So far i haven't found any success on doing that. Does any one know where i can find zen documentation on payment gateway integration. Thank you. Will appreciate any assistance so far.

Searching the Web for Global Pay results in a swamp of obvious scammers. Please provide a link to the exact payment processor you're referring to and the reason you want to use them.

High-level overview:

Writing a payment integration takes a strong understanding of that payment provider's API.

Consider the Authorize.net AIM payment module as an example.
The various functions (actually "methods") in that class handle different stages of checkout, and most of them are documented in docblocks in the code.
Essentially you must map each of the fields that are to be submitted via the API into appropriate objects in your payment module, and then transmit it using whatever prescribed method is documented in the API.

If you use a text-file-compare tool like winmerge to compare the authorizenet_aim.php module against the linkpoint_api.php module you'll see the differences between two modules using different APIs, which will give you essential clues necessary when cloning either one for your own use. You'll see the differences in class names and constants, and so on.

thank you so much DrByte. I feel so educated right now. I am also starting to consult with other professionals coders and your response is one which i have also forwarded to them to help us push forward.
