=head1 NAME Business::BatchPayment::Processor - Common interface for batch payment gateways =head1 DESCRIPTION Business::BatchPayment::Processor is a Moose role. Modules implementing the protocol to talk to specific payment processing services should compose it. There are two general schemes for interacting with a batch payment gateway: =over 4 =item Request/Reply In this mode, you (the merchant) assemble a batch of payment requests, including account numbers, and send it to the gateway. At some point in the future, the gateway sends back one or more reply batches indicating the results of processing the payments. When submitting a request batch, the merchant software marks each payment request with a unique transaction ID (the "tid" field). This should be stored somewhere. When the reply batch is processed, each item will have a tid matching its request. Note that some gateways will provide results only for approved payments, or even only for declined payments. It is then up to the merchant software to follow a sensible policy for approving or declining payments whose ultimate status is unconfirmed. =item One-Way In this mode, the gateway transmits a batch file containing approved payments, without those payments being requested. For example, most commercial banks provide check lockbox services and periodically send the merchant a statement of payments received to the lockbox. This statement would be processed as a one-way batch. =back =head1 ATTRIBUTES Most attributes for B::BP::Processor objects are defined by the module. =over 4 =item transport - See L. This must be set before calling submit() or receive(). Some modules will set it themselves; others require a transport to be supplied. Check for the existence of a 'default_transport' method. =item debug - Debug level. This may be interpreted in various ways by the module. =item test_mode - Communicate with a test server instead of the production gateway. Not all processors support this. C<$processor->does('Business::BatchPayment::TestMode')> should tell whether it's supported. =back =head1 OTHER PARAMETERS =over 4 =item input FILE =item output FILE If either of these is passed when constructing a Processor object, the transport will be replaced with a File transport with those parameters. Specifying only 'input' will direct 'output' to /dev/null, and vice versa. =back =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item submit BATCH Send a batch of requests to the gateway. BATCH must be a L. =item receive Download/otherwise acquire the available confirmed transactions from the gateway, parse them, and return a list of L objects. The items in these batches will have, at minimum, the 'approved' field and either the 'tid' or 'amount' field set. =back =cut package Business::BatchPayment::Processor; use Moose::Role; with 'Business::BatchPayment::Debug'; requires 'format_request', 'parse_response'; has 'transport' => ( is => 'rw', does => 'Business::BatchPayment::Transport', # possibly this part should be a separate role lazy => 1, builder => 'default_transport', ); around BUILDARGS => sub { my ($orig, $class, %args) = @_; %args = %{ $class->$orig(%args) }; #process as usual # then: if ( $args{input} or $args{output} ) { $args{transport} = Business::BatchPayment->create( 'Transport::File', input => $args{input}, output => $args{output}, ); } \%args; }; sub submit { my $self = shift; my $batch = shift; my @items = @_; my $request = $self->format_request($batch); warn $request if $self->debug >= 2; $self->transport->upload($request); } sub receive { my $self = shift; my @responses = $self->transport->download; warn join("\n\n",@responses) if $self->debug >= 2 and scalar(@responses); map { $self->parse_response($_) } @responses; } 1;
