Hej Jeppe,

Thand thanks for quick response! :)

Well, in this case, I do not need to manipulate an order in any way. Simmilarly how DIBS or any other gateway, I wanted to know how I can add my own "Checkout handler", so that (if chosen by end user) it would invoke the extensibility that I want to add. This extensebility would be some Servie calls and probably some string manipulation most likely... Eventually if they choose this payment, a small fee should be added to successful order. 

My understanding so far was:

1) to add database entry with Checkout handler

2) And implement a Checkout Handler template from Visual studio DW templates.

It would also be really nice it I could have a possibility to have a textfield in administration (simmilar when setting up Payment method) where I could provide my own secret and other (with this custom payment related) things...

Hope that brings better light over what I am trying to make here... :-)

You can. The built-in handlers are built around the same base classes as you use for your extensibility code. TThis means you can provide configuratiin options in the backend to. It's easy to do; just decorate public properties with some UI editors and Dynamiocweb will handle loading and saving the data for you. Check out the code for the existing providers to see how it's done.

In the documentation, take a look at the sections "Creating a checkout handler", "AddIn parameters" and "Advanced example".

As you can see in the first and third sections, there's no need to add anything to the database. Simply create a class with the attributes "AddInName" and "AddInDescription" that inherits from CheckoutHandler and place the assembly in the bin folder of the solution. This will cause your checkout handler to appear in the list.

In the second section, you can see how to add editable fields to your handler. You can also see the source code for the built-in handlers for more in-depth implementations. I would recommend either the Quickpay handler or the Dibs handler.

You mention a fee should be added. When you create a payment method on which you attach your checkout handler, you can specify a fee that is applied to the order. If this is not sufficient, you can subscribe to the Dynamicweb.Notifications.eCommerce.Order.BeforePaymentFeeCalculation and provide your own payment fee. The payment fee should not be set in the checkout handler code.

Hi Jeppe,

Nice! Thanks for information :) that is exactly what I needed!

First time you wrote your post (maybe it was just me) but I haven't seen the reference you made to the existing checkout handlers in the source-code section. But after I read Imars post, and looked at the sourcecodes, it all became very clear to me. And it was soo awesome, that I instantly went into it, and did not write back.

But this is extreemely usefull info you posted in the last post aswell.

So I must thank you Jeppe, and Imar for clearing this one out! :-)

I will let you guys know if I come across any issues along the way.

Cheers,

Dmitrij
