Well, unless there is someone out there who knows that code, who can tell you, you will need to examine the code yourself, and determine whether or not that support is complete there. Different coders that have done integrations make different assumptions about what is required, subject to the constraints of what the web service they're coding to requires. For example, in the gateway code I have developed, there is only support for credit card transactions, although I know that NMI, one of the commercial gateways I use, also supports echeck. In Business::OnlinePayment::AuthorizeNet, credit card and echeck transactions are supported, but apparently not debit card transactions. The corresponding package for Paymenttech does not have support for echeck or recurring billing, even though Paymentech itself does. I do not know the code in OFBiz well enough to tell you about support it has for the different kinds of ETF for each processor or gateway for which it already has an integration. If you find it, let me know what files need to be examined or used as a prototype to make a new integration supporting different kinds of ETF transaction; or, better, if you find a programming guide that tells you about this, I'd love to hear about it (or suggestions as to how best to integrate my fraud prevent code with OFBiz' shopping cart and checkout system - in addtion to plugging in my own gateway code, I need to find out how to connect OFBiz shopping cart/checkout system with a separate WordPress site). Sorry I can't advise further. Cheers Ted
