RPS Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Has anyone created a custom CDG Commerce gateway module? The way WHMCS is built, the built-in payment gateways may only be used ONCE. So once it is activated, you cannot activate a 2nd one. However, they have cleverly designed it so you can add your own payment gateways, thus allowing you to bypass the limit. Has anyone created their own CDG Commerce payment gateway? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there was one les Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 IF CDG is open source you can simply duplicate it and alter the parts that have any reference to the CDG part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex - Arvixe Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 IF CDG is open source you can simply duplicate it and alter the parts that have any reference to the CDG part. I don't believe the included payment gateway modules are open source so one would need to be created from scratch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And then there was one les Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 The included modules no, but some of them come from the gateway who have the opensource versions available. gocardless is one of them that does. i forget now of the others but an update from gocardless recently fixed a problem after upgrade because the provided module wasnt compatible with the latest whmcs. these things happen i suppose. thats how i know there are some that are available open source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPS Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Every major payment gateway releases the API code in order to allow companies to create the modules needed in order to use that gateway. So, the gateway is open source.. that's the only way developers are able to figure out how to connect to the gateway. For example, WHMCS has the Authorize.net and CDG Commerce gateway modules. Although the gateway's API code is open/available, WHMCS fully encrypts their software. Unfortunately, they also encrypt the third party payment gateway code as well. WHMCS charges $40 to copy an existing gateway module, so you can run a 2nd one. For $40, it's worth it for us to have an additional module created. I'm sure most WHMCS users just have a single payment gateway, and when an additional is needed, they simply activate a different gateway. I doubt this will ever be changed, as we're more of a unique user with WHMCS. When you have offices across multiple states, the income needs to be tracked state by state. It's much easier to track it through the actual CC transactions in real-time, so we need an additional module to do this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
