Custom Payment Plugin Development

ptmigmag

Hello Gurujoomla Support Team,

I am looking to integrate a custom payment gateway into Joomla using the Gurujoomla plugin support. Could you please provide me with any documentation or guides specific to payment gateway integration with Gurujoomla? Could you advise on the steps or best practices for creating a custom payment gateway plugin within Joomla using Gurujoomla? Specifically, I am interested in understanding how to handle callback handling and updating the order status within the Joomla framework.

Hi,

Currently, there isn't an official guide for creating a payment plugin for Guru. However, you can examine the code of any existing Guru payment plugin to understand how it works. Let's take the example of the GURU Payment Plugin - Stripe SCA.

In the stripesca.php file:

The onSendPayment method is used to display the submit form for payment.
The onReceivePayment method sends payment information to the payment gateway and validates its success.

Additionally, you can see how the two methods mentioned above are called in the components/com_guru/controllers/guruBuy.php file, specifically within the checkout and payment methods.

Hi, thanks for your fast response!

I have another question from our dev (although i already shared another payment plugins to take as example):

"How does the plugin specify the callback URL to receive notifications or data from the payment gateway?"

Thanks 4 support

Hi,

Guru doesn't use the callback URL method. You need to get the order token after submitting the payment form and then send it to the payment task of the guruBuy controller.

Check the JavaScript code in the plugins/gurupayment/stripesca/tmpl/default.php file to see how it works.

Regards.
