Reaction: How can I add a payment gateway support?

[dheerajbhaskar]

Problem

I'm from India and the payment gateways that you support don't work in India. The mentioned PGs(Payment Gateways):

1. reactioncommerce:­reaction-braintree : Reaction Braintree - Braintree payments for Reaction Commerce
2. reactioncommerce:­reaction-stripe : Stripe payments for Reaction Commerce
3. reactioncommerce:­reaction-auth-net : Reaction Authorize.net - Authorize.net payments for Reaction Commerce
4. reactioncommerce:­reaction-paypal : Paypal

Possible Solutions

I'm guessing one can modify existing PG packages to support a new. Please let me know easy/difficult this is for an intermediate level Meteor programmer who hasn't made packages before.

Here are the PGs popular in India:

We already have subscribed to Atom PG, so we'd be very inclined to get Atom working. Here are other popular gateways. Getting any of them them work is also a start (I guess):

1. Atom
2. CCAvenue
3. Citrus
4. DirecPay
5. EBS

Please let me know if I can create a package myself or is it better to wait till the community to develop these packages. BTW this is for a potential client. We'll be losing him if we don't do a PG integration.

Early responses would be appreciated

http://citruspay.com/ seems to offer nodejs support and also a checkout.js hosted checkout page like stripe. Will this help with an easier integration?

Why can't I call the checkout.js trigger method in the payment button in reaction commerce?

[abhisheksoni27]

You might want to look at paytm. They have nodejs support.

I'd recommend looking through the existing payment gateway packages. They aren't too complicated, and you should be able to start by cloning the stripe or paypal package and modifying it to support one of your preferred payment gateways.

Thanks for your replies Abhishek and Spencer.

Braintree: Please note that they've not mentioned India in
https://www.braintreepayments.com/country-selection . Is there a different
resource which says they work with India?

Paypal: Fees are on the higher side at 4.4% + 20 rupees (30 cents) per
transaction.

Credit/debit card and Net banking are popular modes of payment. Is net
banking difficult to support?

Paytm: I spent quite some time figuring our their pricing. I couldn't find
it anywhere. Details are very sparse.

I shall indeed look through the existing payment packages to port them to a
different gateway.

Just a little something to note:

Netbanking and most payment gateways in India require that the user be redirected to another page. I think you will find that implementation in one of Paypal's methods (I think express checkout). There is an open issue reactioncommerce/reaction-paypal#11 with that implementation.

Also being from India, I would love to help you with the payment gateway support, are you active on Gitter?

[dheerajbhaskar]

Hey Goutham, thanks for tip and the generous offer.

I just joined gitter for this. Let's figure this out.
I'm also waiting for our client to get back.

I'd also like to contribute to this. Gitter URL?

[gouthamve]

Actually, we were discussing this in private chat. But I now created a room on gitter: https://gitter.im/Gouthamve/indian-pg

I added both of you to the room.

[dheerajbhaskar]

Thanks Abhishek for stepping forward. I'm guessing Goutham has already
added you on gitter.

Hi Dheeraj did you get any clue for Payment Gateway support in India

[gouthamve]

Hi @HarshaVardhanPVK,

I developed this package which currently works with razorpay: https://github.com/Gouthamve/reaction-razorpay.

[HarshaVardhanPVK]

Thank you Goutham for your quick replay, I will try to use it.

[dheerajbhaskar]

Yes Goutham's package should help :)

Hope so, thank you guys.

I think is a better choice create a project like ActiveMerchant to create a interface to add any gateway ou payment service. I work in a payment service provider based on Brazil and I am interesting in contribute with this project. :+1:

I am adding this comment so that anyone searching for information on creating a payment package it can find it.

RC has added the package https://github.com/reactioncommerce/reaction-paymentmethod. This is a complete boilerplate and well as instructions for creating a payment-method package. For most server-side methods you should be able to just plug in your third-party module and go. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions/concern/issues/complaints about this module. Or suggestions for making creating payment method packages easier.

[dheerajbhaskar]

Thanks for this Brent.

Hi, the link for payment method is broken, where can I find that info?
Thanks a lot!
