Payment Gateways

danger

This is legacy API documentation for reference only for those that built python payment plugins.

It was replaced in favor of Transaction API.

caution

We are in the process of deprecating plugins in favor of apps. If you plan on building a new integration with Saleor, we recommend using apps.

Adding a new payment gateway

Saleor uses a universal flow that each gateway should implement by providing a class that contains all the necessary methods. All of the plugin methods take previous_value as a second argument. More information about previous_value can be found here.

For a gateway to work correctly, you also need to specify supported_currencies in your gateway configuration. It determines in which currencies the gateway can be used.

For more information on the plugin implementation methods and configurations of supported currencies, see the plugin.py file for an existing payment gateway.

note

You will also need to integrate your payment gateway into your storefront’s code.

Client token

get_client_token: A client token is a signed data blob that includes configuration and authorization information required by the payment gateway.

Client tokens should not be reused; a new client token should be generated for each payment request.

note

All the payment methods receive payment_information as a dataclass: PaymentData.

You are in charge of configuring your gateway. Based on the existing implementations, you may use the GatewayConfig class to configure your plugin.

Authorize payment

authorize(payment_information): Authorization is a process of reserving the amount of money against the customer’s funding source. The money does not change hands until the authorization is captured.

Refund

refund(payment_information): A refund is a full or partial return of captured funds to the customer.

Capture payment

capture(payment_information): A transfer of the money that was reserved during the authorization stage.

Void

void(payment_information): A cancellation of a pending authorization or capture.

Process payment

process_payment(payment_information): Used for the checkout process, it should perform all the necessary steps to process a payment. It should use already-defined functions, like authorize and capture.
