Configure the LOC payment plug-in
Registering with the payment back-end system
Registration with a payment service provider is not required with this plug-in; however, to communicate directly with an external accounting system, make provisions for enabling that connection with the provider of the system. You can modify the behavior of the sample LOC plug-in that is provided, or provide your own plug-in to handle credit line transactions.
The LOC plug-in (or one you create) will need to handle the parameters necessary to integrate with the external accounting system, such as the URL of the accounting system, and the user ID and password to access it, so that it can send and process the request. As provided, however, the LOC plug-in does not connect to an external accounting system.
Configure the plug-in
To configure this plug-in for use in WebSphere Commerce:
- Refer to the instructions in Configure a payment plug-in.
The Payment system plug-in mapping XML file would show the following, for example:
<PaymentSystemName name="LOCSystem" > <Mapping paymentConfigurationId="default" PluginName="LOCPlugin" > </Mapping> </PaymentSystemName>- Ensure that the payment system name of LOCSystem is reflected in the PaymentMethodConfigurations XML file and RefundMethodConfigurations XML file used by Payment Rules.
Special configuration information
No other configuration steps are necessary. If a credit line is enabled for an account, the LOC plug-in can be called by the WebSphere Commerce Payments to handle the financial transactions.
Reloading Payment Rules after you have completed your configuration changes to load the configurations for use.
A WebSphere Commerce trace component for the plug-in is provided for you to perform tracing of the plug-in when necessary. Refer to Trace components for more information.
