Create a payment configuration group for the store
In this part of the tutorial, you create a payment configuration group for the store. WebSphere Commerce provides a ready-to-use payment configuration group named default that you can use for the store, so you can ignore this step. But if you want two different configurations for the same payment method in different stores, create another payment configuration group. The payment configuration group is uniquely configured for one combination of payment method and the store. Such a combination can have only one payment configuration group configured. This mapping is configured in the POLICY table for payment business policy. You configure this in step 6 of this tutorial.
In this tutorial, we take ConsumerDirect as the starter store, and we create a new payment configuration group called myGroup. Follow these steps to create a payment configuration group:
Procedure
- In the WC_EAR/xml/config/payments/edp/groups directory, copy the default subdirectory then paste it in the same directory.
- The directory is named "Copy of default." Rename the directory to myGroup.
You have now created the new payment configuration group myGroup. This group now has the same configuration as the default group.
In the next step of the tutorial, you learn how to configure each configuration XML file for the new payment configuration group.
