1 These are the module writer's notes for v3. See the regular
2 "notes_for_module_writers" file first.
5 - If your gateway is HTTPS-based, use (or convert to)
6 Business::OnlinePayment::HTTPS !!
8 - Business::OnlinePayment::OpenECHO is the first "v3-ish" module, try
14 - If your processor module encounters a setup problem, communication
15 error or other problem that's prevents the card from even being
16 run, you should die (or croak) with a useful error message. Setting
17 is_success to 0 and returning normally should only be done when the
18 transaction *processing* was sucessful (or at least elicited some sort
19 of result from the gateway), but the transaction itself returned a
20 "normal" decline status of some sort.
22 - (NEW IN 3.00_04) You should set "failure_status" depending on the
23 specific failure result, if (and only if) the failure results from one
24 of the defined statuses:
27 - "nsf" (non-sufficient funds / credit limit)
31 - "inactive" (inactive card or not authorized for card-not-present) (?)
32 - "decline" (other card/transaction declines only, not other errors)
34 You should use code like this so your module can work with B:OP versions
37 $self->build_subs('failure_status') unless $self->can('failure_status');
39 (or add "failure_status" to your build_subs call if you have one during
43 - (NEW IN 3.01) Introspection:
45 - Add an _info subroutine to your module that returns a hashref of
50 'info_compat' => '0.01', # always 0.01 for now,
51 # 0.02 will have requirements
52 'gateway_name' => 'Example Gateway',
53 'gateway_url' => 'http://www.example.com/',
54 'module_version' => $VERSION,
55 'supported_types' => [ qw( CC ECHECK ) ],
56 'supported_actions' => [
57 'Normal Authorization',
66 # or a more complicated case:
70 'info_compat' => '0.01', # always 0.01 for now,
71 # 0.02 will have requirements
72 'gateway_name' => 'Example Gateway',
73 'gateway_url' => 'http://www.example.com/',
74 'module_version' => $VERSION,
75 'module_notes' => 'usage notes',
76 'supported_types' => [ qw( CC ECHECK ) ],
77 'supported_actions' => { 'CC' => [
78 'Normal Authorization',
83 'Recurring Authorization',
84 'Modify Recurring Authorization',
85 'Cancel Recurring Authorization',

94 'ECHECK_void_requires_account' => 1, #routing_code, account_number, name
99 - authorization and order_number (NEWLY DOCUMENTED IN 3.01):
101 Gateways will return one or two values from Authorization Only and
102 Normal Authorization transactions that must be submitted back with a
103 Post Authorization, Void, or Credit transaction.
105 If the gateway returns one value, return this as "authorization"
107 If the gateway returns two values, return one as "authorization" and the
108 other as "order_number". Typically "authorization" is the more low-level
109 value returned from the underlying processing network while "order_number"
110 is a unique tranaction id generated by the gateway.
