Hello,
I work for a payments company and I would like to build a new third party payments extension for OpenCart. Is there a place with documentation on how to get started on this?
thanks,
Luke
Developing payment modules requires documentation provided by the providers themselves in order for programmers to code the architecture on file. Otherwise, it isn't generically possible to build a payment extension without relying on a specific documentation provided by an online payment service.

No problem, you can always visit the Opencart docs at: http://docs.opencart.com for more information. However, for the payment methods, it would be to create the following files that you can 'save as', under new files from the below directories:lukewd wrote:Thanks @straightlight,
I do have the API integration docs for the payment methods I want to build a payment extension for. But I just need the OpenCart docs to understand how to plug them into Opencart... Any pointers please?
- admin/controller/payment
- admin/language/<your_language>/payment
- admin/view/template/payment
- catalog/controller/payment
- catalog/model/payment
- catalog/language/<your_language>/payment
- catalog/view/theme/<your_theme>/template/payment

Thanks straightlight,
I've looked through the docs you pointed to me several times together and can't find anything useful.
I'm intending to write a new payment extension, such as the ones listed here: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... ion&path=3
In the docs, there is no guide on write a new module.
I can see pages talking about existing payment extensions here: http://docs.opencart.com/extension/payment/
And another page talking about developing modules: http://docs.opencart.com/developer/module/
But there is nothing specify to developing a payment module/extension... Am I missing something?
I'm looking for something in equivalent detail to this: http://docs.whmcs.com/Gateway_Module_Developer_Docs

For Opencart v2.x releases, that is correct; there are no official documentation so far out there that explains officially how to do this other than looking into those folders. Only v1.5x releases has multiple steps solutions from Google you could find, at this time, unless a released extension might differ.lukewd wrote:Thanks straightlight,

That is something you may suggest to provide to the Opencart Team by posting into the Website Suggestions section of the forum.
