To configure event-driven payment processing for your store in an advanced orders environment, you must perform the following tasks:
- Determine what payment methods and refund methods your store will use. See Payment methods.
- Use the Site Administration Console to define payment configurations and refund configurations (set up payment configuration IDs). See Defining a payment configuration for event-driven payments.
- Use the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator to associate payment/refund configurations to your store. See Defining a payment configuration for event-driven payments. When the association is made, the POLICY database table is automatically updated with information about the payment methods a store will use. For more information about payment policies, see Payment business policies for event-driven payments.
- Manually edit XML configuration files to change default configuration details and to provide the desired payment rules. Configuration is required for event-driven payments processing. See:
- Configure the payment plug-in you will use and manually edit the plug-in related XML configuration files required by the Payments Plug-in Controller to communicate with a payment plug-in. See Configuring a payment plug-in. You should also review Payment plug-in security for security considerations.
- Set up the payment/refund business policies for your store (update the POLICY and POLICYDESC tables).
- Restart WebSphere Commerce for the changes to take effect.
