Hello Everyone, As some of you know that there were various discussion on creating a unified API for payment processing. Currently such component does not exists. I have taken the time to see the best way of doing this and i opened a proposal (@link http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Payment ) That describes what the component will do and the gateway it will support by default (hopefully will be extended further more). I have used the factory method from the Zend_Db which is a great one and i think will work well.
There were several talks about the way this should be best handled, So this is why i am sending this email to this list, I will appreciate anyone who's willing to help out by just throwing in suggestions and feedback on the way this is currently written and the best way of extending this. Basically what we need to do is to name the functions that most likely will be required for the gateways and we will be adding those to the Abstract class, The default options that will be required to be passed into the factory method, the required fields that will be required to exists once the gateway process the payment to the gateway url as parameters. Basically any comments will be apprecaited to make this as customizable as possible and as easy to use for everyone. * Looking forward hearing what everyone has to say and especially getting some feedback from developers who already contributed or/and made something like this before. Thanks. -- Vincent Gabriel. Lead Developer, Senior Support. Zend Certified Engineer. Zend Framework Certified Engineer.
