Payment plugins

2 min

The PaymentPlugin is available when building solutions with the payment processing parts of Optimizely Commerce Connect. A payment type is passed to the payment plugin, which executes the payment transaction via the payment system. Each payment plugin is associated with a specific payment type.

Note Classes in this topic are available in the EPiServer.Commerce.Order namespace, which contains IPaymentPlugin.

IPaymentPlugin is an improvement over IPaymentGateway, which supports abstraction APIs and Serializable Carts as well. The activities below will be carried out following Payment gateways exactly:

There is one important difference between IPaymentPlugin and IPaymentGateway: IPaymentPlugin uses IPayment as a parameter, while IPaymentGateway uses Payment as a parameter.
