public interface PaymentProcessor
extends BusinessObject

Interface for objects that are able to process payments in the store. Custom payment processors must simply implement PaymentProcessor. (Although it may be useful also to extend BasePaymentProcessor.)

To change or add to the list of payment processors currently active in the system, modify the "activePaymentProcessors" setting in the appComponents.properties file.

During checkout the Struts layer loops through each of the "activePaymentFormTemplates" to display a set of payment forms for the user. Based on the form that user chooses to submit, the Struts layer calls the "activePaymentProcessor" that corresponds to it. It invokes the processPayment(Map) method to process the submission. The incoming Map contains the various input parameters submitted by the user.

There is one default "activePaymentProcessor": BasicPaymentProcessor.
