Support multiple payment processors on GetPaid site

Project description

Purpose

This package provides generic payment processor registration methods. Though the code itself is free from Plone dependencies, this documentation covers Plone too.

Preface

GetPaid provides support for two different kind of payment processors:

  • Synchronous: Your web server does the payment authorization by doing a remote procedure call to the payment processor server You need to override payment processor checkout-review-pay wizard step to have your own custom form fields needed for the payment submission. The default Products.PloneGetPaid.browser.checkout.CheckoutReviewAndPay provides fields for simple credit card payment.

  • Asynchronous: The buyer will leave your site for the payment to the payment web server (PayPal) and come back to your site after the payment is completed

Installation

Install GetPaid from trunk.

Use branch following development branches. Note that PayPal changes are in trunk:

cd src
rm -rf Products.PloneGetPaid
rm -rf getpaid.nullpayment
rm -rf getpaid.paypal
svn co https://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn/Products.PloneGetPaid/branches/multiplepaymentprocessors Products.PloneGetPaid
svn co https://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn/getpaid.nullpayment/branches/multiplepaymentprocessors getpaid.nullpayment
svn co https://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn/getpaid.paypal/trunk getpaid.paypal

Add getpaid.paymentprocessers to your 316.cfg eggs and develop-eggs sections.

Administration

Active payment processors must be enabled in Site setup -> GetPaid -> Payment processor settings.

You can manage individual payment processor settings from the same screen.

Checkout wizard steps

A checkout wizard contains a step “checkout-payment-method” which allows the user to select the wanted payment method. This step is only available if the site has more than one active payment processors.

Creating your own payment processor

Payment processor directive

Payment processors are registered using a ZCML directive:

<!-- Register logic class dealing with the actual payment -->

    <adapter
 for="getpaid.core.interfaces.IStore"
 provides="getpaid.core.interfaces.IPaymentProcessor"
 factory=".null.NullPaymentAdapter"
 name="Testing Processor"
 />

<!-- Register payment processor specific user interface parts -->

<paymentprocessors:registerProcessor
   name="Testing Processor"
       i18n_name="Test Payment"
   selection_view="null_payment_button"
   review_pay_view="null_payment_pay_page"
   thank_you_view="null_payment_thank_you_page"
   settings_view="null_payment_settings_page"
   />

It is recommended best practice to put paymentprocessor directive into a separate ZCML file in your getpaid extension module to maintain backwards compatibility. You can do it using zcml condition:

<include zcml:condition="installed getpaid.paymentprocessors" file="paymentprocessors.zcml" />

You can also maintain backward compatiblity overrides with not-installed directive:

<include zcml:condition="not-installed getpaid.paymentprocessors" package=".browser" file="overrides.zcml" />

paymentprocessors:registerProcessor attributes

Below is explanation for registerProcessor attributes.

name: This must match getpaid.core.interfaces.IPaymentProcessor adapter name

i18_name: This is the user visible name of the payment processor. It might appear in the summaries and listing.

Term “payment method” is recommended here for more end user friendly language.

selection_view: This is a <browser:page> registration name which renders the payment method selection button on payment method selection checkout wizard step. The browser view class should be subclasses from Products.GetPaid.browser.checkout.BasePaymentMethodButton.

selection_view template should render a <tr> element which is rendered on the checkout payment method selection page. It contains three columns:

  • <td> having <input type=”radio”> button with accessibility <label>

  • <td> with payment method name/logo image

  • <td> with description. You can override this template to have clauses like “Using PayPal will cost 2$ extra”

For example, see getpaid.nullpayment/templates/button.pt

review_pay_view: This view renders payment processor specific “review and pay” view in the checkout wizard. The attribute holds the registered <browser:page> name. This view should be subclass of Products.PloneGetPaid.browser.checkout.CheckoutReviewAndPay. To change the review and pay page template, override template attribute of the class.

Usually review and pay page has two purposes:

- Render a <form> which is submitted to the payment authorization server with a callback back to the shop server

- Do a HTTP redirect or Javascript redirect and take the user to the payment authorization server for an external review payment page

Because review_pay_view is based of BaseCheckoutForm class, you need to explitcly subclass it and override template class attribute to use your own template. Using <browser:page template=”…”> does not work.

settings_view: This view renders the settings for the payment processor. It should be subclass of Products.PloneGetPaid.admin.PaymentProcessor.

thank_you_view: This should point to the <browser:page> which is rendered after the payment processor is complete. It is unused currently. Payment processor review_pay_view is itself responsible to point the user back to the shop site after the payment has been authorized.

See https://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn/getpaid.nullpayment/branches/multiplepaymentprocessors/src/getpaid/nullpayment/paymentprocessors.zcml for more info.

Testing

Units tests can be found in Products.PloneGetPaid.tests.test_payment_processors.

It is recommended to take a look these how to programmatically play around with the checkout wizard and test your custom payment methods automatically.

Non-plone related functionality is tested in getpaid.paymentprocessors.tests. This mainly involves testing ZCML validy.

Guidelines for payment processor plug-in authors

  • See getpaid.paypal how to include all related browser/ module extensions, including necessary media files

  • In your payment processor README include short, but detailed, instructions

    • For testing the payment processor in sandbox mode

    • For settings up the payment processor in production mode

  • In your payment processor README include link to payment processor logo usage terms

Developer snippets

Payment processors are described by Entry objects which simply hold the information provided by IRegisterPaymentProcessorDirective.

To get site wide active payment processors call:

from Products.PloneGetPaid import payment

processors = payment.getActivePaymentProcessors(context) # context = any Plone site object

In checkout wizard, you can get the user chosen payment method using the following snippet. You can do this after the user has passed payment method selection step:

payment_processor_name = wizard.getActivePaymentProcessor()

To get the actual payment processor instance by its name call:

    from zope.component import getUtility, getAdapter
    from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName
    import getpaid.core.interfaces

site_root = getToolByName(self.context, "portal_url").getPortalObject()
    processor = component.getAdapter(site_root, getpaid.core.interfaces.IPaymentProcessor, payment_processor_name)

Payment processor registry is available in getpaid.paymentprocessors.registry.paymentProcessorRegistry. This registry holds the data of registered payment processor code objects.

Activated payment processor names are stored in portal_properties as LinesField:

# sequence of unicode strings, payment processor names
portal_properties.payment_processor_properties.enabled_processors

Accessing payment information in the stored order:

info = order.payment_method # IPaymentMethodInformation instance
info.payment_processor == u"Your Processor Name"

TODO

  • Rip off interfaces.IGetPaidManagementOptions(self.context).processor_name from everywhere

  • Remove “Set active processor” setting and Payment options page in site setup

  • Discuss whether it is sensible to use portal_properties to store settings (AFAIK this is the best practice since they can be edited plain text is site setup breaks down)

  • Handle validation if user chooses no payment processor

  • Remember checked payment processor in the checkout wizard

  • There is a bug that wizard.data_manager.payment_method.payment_processor pulls out i18n_name for some reason. Unless fixed payment processor name must be i18n_name.

  • How/when asyncronous processors should create Order, toggle workflow states and delete cart?
