payment gateway help

[jaki]

Hi,
After browsing around a bit I could find that ofbiz already comes with implementations for various credit card gateways like verisign, cybersource, etc. But to use it won't I have to have an account with them? Is there a way to do it any other way like with a mock gateway?
Im completely new to this subject so pls bear with above post

For a production setup you will certainly need a merchant account with a
payment gateway. There are services which which you can use during
development. Look for always* services for various payment methods. You
will need to configure them in your store's payment settings. Also look
into the demo data of OOTB e-commerce component.

But aren't the always* services just dummy ones which will accept any payment info irrespective of the validity? Actually I was looking for something which can atleast validate my card. Are there freeware gateways out there or something with similar functionality. I needed it only for demo purposes and once that's done I might look for a commercial solution in the future.

Not sure payment gateways allows that. But you can ask them if they can
provide you a test account similar to the Paypal.

Jaki,

Before few months I was working on the Online Rate estimates using UPS &
USPS for a client to deliver the parcel.
UPS & USPS provide the demo server for testing this kind of things.

Did you find any document available online either on Cybersource or Verisign
that will help you in validation for only
demo purpose ?

One link that I found to be useful is from Cybersource :-
http://www.cybersource.com/support_center/implementation/

There are so many details/document shared on this link but "Testing
Information" section might be helpful for you(I didn't read too much details
from above link).

You can search this kind of document on Verisign website as well.

Hey thanks for the info. Im currently working on the paypal implementation that comes with ofbiz and will look through those once that is done.
Btw, can someone shed some light on the IPN feature of paypal? In particular, when and how exactly is it called? Right now, after completion of a test payment, on the final page I only find a link to return to the page specified in 'return' in properties file and no where throughout the process is the callback function called even once.

if you are using the current version of the trunk
the properties are show as comments.
# PayPal Return URL
#payment.paypal.return=http://[yourServerName]/ecommerce/control/orderhistory
payment.paypal.return=

all you have to do is copy the commented and modify your server.

Note: this will not work with localhost emplementations since it is not
resolved on the internet. You much put in a server name (myserver.com)
that will resolve on the internet.

the return url works fine, no problems there. But wanted to know when exactly is the url specified in paypal.notify called?

think I misread you question.
ofbiz does not, work the way the IPN docs on paypal work.
basically the URL in the properties files return thru the contoller.
control/orderhistory in the ecommerce module.
this is best understood by reviewing the code in the ecommerce module
and
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Framework+Introduction+Videos+and+Diagrams
in particular
OFBiz Framework Introduction Videos #7
