hi all! i am suffering with paypal and moneybookers, and it is costing me alot of money and time, especially since it takes a while for funds to hit my canadian bank account which i use to pay providers. i would like to see some sort of guideline or some tips as to how to integrate a third party gateway with a2billing. i am in the process of finalizing my merchant account, but do not have a clue as to how to integrate their gateway with a2billing. i have minimal knowledge of php and mysql and feel as though my money is always being tied with moneybookers or paypal, hence the reason i wanted to get a merchant account so that the money my customers are paying me, gets to me quicker. i understand that each gateway has their own way of allowing developers to connect to their application. the troubling part is connecting this knowledge with a2billing. any help in this area will be much appreciated!

Hi,

I realize this is not a answer to your question, but, did you check out PNP? If they are giving the same rate as your current solution, maybe you could use them.

Also, Maybe you could take a look at the code for PNP and see if it could be modified to work with your solution.

Kind Regards,

Les

hi!
yes, i did checkout pnp, and it works the way i want it to. the only problem is, that i'd have to get a separate merchant account to use with them. plus, i'm canadian, so i'm not too sure if authorize.net will allow me to have an account with them..

I did some reverse engineering and found the following;

Payment modules touch following database tables

cc_card
cc_charge
cc_epayment_log
cc_logpayment
cc_logrefil

I think if the interest is jus updating the balance for prepay I would update the CC_Card and cc_logpayment. Customer Payment History link point to payment_history.php, which in tern extract data from cc_logpayment.

So in simple any payment gateway is possible, when transaction is completed successfully above tables should be updated.

Anyone who has experience in integrating another gateway please correct me if I am wrong, I just started integrating paypal pro to A2Billing.
