Has anyone done a payment module for Elavon VirtualMerchant?

I tried the Search feature but it didn't yield anything useful.
I am working on a Virtual Merchant module, but I need help!
I'm using an older version of opencart (not even sure how to determine the version), and I've figured out the basic structure of a payment module, but the thing I can't figure out is how to handle cases where the card is rejected.
All the modules I've looked at have a confirm() method in the controller, which calls $this->model_checkout_order->confirm(...) for a successful order, but what do I do if I want to reject the order?
The opencart version I have has mostly empty placeholders for all the payment modules except paypal; looking at a more recent version there are plenty more implement modules, but all the non-trivial ones seem to use a send() method and a callback() method - I believe the protocol is to create the order immediately, then have it get updated with an approval (or not) when PayPal, etc. calls the callback function later asynchronously.
In my case I am calling the VM api directly and getting an immediate response, and so I want to handle success/failure right in the confirm() method.
Can anyone enlighten me on this? I haven't been able to find any docs on how to create a payment module.
I'd be happy to share the code if I can get this to work - it'll probably need some polish, but should be a good start!
TIA for any help...

Hi,
I've developed some Opencart modules recently.
I think I can help you...

cym_sunset,
Were you replying about the Elavon question or to the hijacker of this thread, tedc? Do you have any info about Elavon?
Thanks for any info you have.

I'm going to leave that one alone! I'm leaving this note here in case it's useful to someone. It turns out I was actually interested in the Elavon InternetSecure (Merchant Direct) payment module. It turns out that InternetSecure uses Authorize.net emulation, so in theory the authorize.net module will work with only a small change to /catalog/controller/payment/authorizenet_aim.php file... only need to change the transaction URL. Apparently you use your InternetSecure Gateway ID as the Login ID, and leave the transaction key blank since they don't require it. Trying this all out tomorrow, so we'll see if it works.
has anyone used the virtualmerchat payment module successfully?

That module is still in use on the site it was written for (before I published it as an OC extension). I was not aware that someone reported an issue in the "comments" tab of the extension and have since responded.tommyz wrote:has anyone used the virtualmerchat payment module successfully?

To ensure I am aware of questions about that extension post at http://www.robertmullaney.com/2010/10/1 ... t-gateway/ and I'll respond. A recent blog comment is what prompted me to check the OC comments (of which I was not notified).
Hi Everyone
This module is now working for me just fine with OpenCart 1.4.9.3 without any modifications. My issues were all with the credit card provider.
Some hints/tips:
in the module configuration, Account ID and User ID, are the same # despite what the support guys told me (they had me put in a different account #).
The other thing is that they need to set up a web terminal in the client area which will have a different pin number than the one you might use for swipe in cards (if you have that option on your account).
Finally, if you run in TEST mode, you will see the transaction processed on the client login but with an ERROR. Once you set it to LIVE mode, the error will be gone and the transaction processed.
Once I connected EBSPromo via the opencart forums, they were helpful and offered to troubleshoot for me, but as I suspected the problem was with the account information.
gave this module 5 stars because it works and does not require any core file modifications.
cheers

Thanks for posting about your experience, and especially for the 5-star rating!
I am pretty sure this is the problem for most users who reported issues with our extension. Hopefully they will update some of those lack-luster ratings accordingly
Any ideas on what I could add to the documentation that might have helped you?

Hi!
I'm having issues getting your module to work. I am running 1.4.9.1 and have also followed the tips @ http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 87#p133387 but still have had no luck.
The loading bar appears for a few seconds and simply disappears.
Any ideas? Would it help to give you access to poke around the installation? It is not public yet -- but this is the very last thing we're waiting to get settled before we go live so we'd like to get it figured out sooner rather than later
PS - I PM'd you some screenshots if it helps.
Let me know, thanks!

I'm having the same issue as Vikon. Everything seems to be set up correctly and I followed the information from the previous posts but at final checkout confirm the loading animation comes up for a few seconds and then just disappears, there's no confirmation and the checkout is never processed on Virtual Merchants end. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I too have followed tommyz's notes on this forum topic, after downloading and installing the VirtualMerchant payment module. And I too am having the problem indicated by other users.
As far as documentation to update, I would incorporate tommyz's comments (just add it after the installation instructions), and then add a FAQ section. If this behavior is common, tell us exactly what we see and what we should do to address it. Namely:
Problem: after installing the software and setting it up specifically as instructed, I test the module by entering data in the fields as directed, then click Confirm Order. At this point, the 'Please wait' line appears for a few seconds then disappears, with the form fields still filled in.
Solution: <--- here's where you could explain what we're supposed to do --->
I am able to log into the Virtual Merchant site, and manually process a credit card transaction, so I know their server isn't down. I am sure this can be resolved easily, so I am delaying rating the module. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Has anyone either gotten in touch with ebspromo/Robert Mullaney or otherwise gotten their code to work yet? I have heard nothing, and would really like some resolution to this matter. If this is a scam, please post something. The last date of any comment I have seen is February 9, and the question I posted on the site (a duplicate of my original post on this forum) does not appear on the site.

Perhaps this individual is simply on vacation, but nonetheless, if this is a legitimate module, I would hope that I would hear some response and there would be some resolution to the original concerns being repeated by several users. If not, hopefully these more recent negative comments (where, other than one individual, everyone is complaining that the module does nothing) prevent others from wasting their money purchasing a non-working module.
I would be happy to retract this post and extend a full apology for doubting the integrity of the creator/seller of this module, as soon as this issue is resolved.
