Payments
Payments for orders are processed through a payment gateway. Commerce Cloud offers integrations for a selection of payment gateway providers, or you can create your own integrations.
Payment transactions are processed similarly for all gateways:
- A payment transaction is created and an attempt to pay is made.
- The transaction is forwarded to the third-party gateway specified by the customer.
- The payment is processed by the third-party gateway.
Payment transactions are always processed outside of Commerce Cloud for security reasons. Typically, you use a token rather than pass the card details directly. If, however, you want to pass the cart details directly to the third-party provider, Commerce Cloud enforces the use of the secure HTTPS protocol. If the transaction is successful, a 200 OK response is returned. Use the response (success or failure) to update the transaction, which will in turn automatically update the order and payment statuses.
