We are currently looking at Vendr as a possible eCommerce platform for a new site which will be essentially a re-build of an existing Tea Commerce based site. However, the payment gateway used by the client is Global Payments - is there any chance of a package supporting this through Vendr becoming available in the near future?
Was this a custom provider your wrote for Tea Commerce? as I don't believe that is a core support provider.
Either way, I don't think we'll likely be looking at it any time soon ourselves as we are only committing to officially support providers we know there is a big demand for. For anything else, we are helping community members to write their own implementations and release them as contributed solutions (essentially, supported by the community).
If you wrote the custom provider for you TC implementation, then I don't think you'd have a problem porting it to Vendr as they are very similar in worflow.
I had originally guessed that the Tea Commerce Global Payments support was out of the box but, given what you are saying, the previous site developer must have rolled his own. I'm pretty sure we have access to his original source code (I hope!) so I will take a look and see how viable it is for me to port it over. Your links look to be very helpful towards that end.
Sorry for the belated reply - it wasn't massively difficult. The Vendr documentation is pretty good in this area and there are examples of other providers you can look at to keep you right. We went down the Hosted Payment Page route in our implementation.
Global Payments Payment Gateway Support
Hello,
We are currently looking at Vendr as a possible eCommerce platform for a new site which will be essentially a re-build of an existing Tea Commerce based site. However, the payment gateway used by the client is Global Payments - is there any chance of a package supporting this through Vendr becoming available in the near future?
Kind regards,
Scott
Hi Scott,
Was this a custom provider your wrote for Tea Commerce? as I don't believe that is a core support provider.

For anything else, we are helping community members to write their own implementations and release them as contributed solutions (essentially, supported by the community).
You can find some info on our docs site about how payment providers work https://vendr.net/docs/core/1-4-0/key-concepts/payment-providers/ and you can review the source code of all our core supported providers at https://github.com/vendrhub?q=payment-providers&type=&language= and the source code for community contributed providers at https://github.com/vendrcontrib?q=payment-provider&type=&language=
If you wrote the custom provider for you TC implementation, then I don't think you'd have a problem porting it to Vendr as they are very similar in worflow.
Hope this helps
Matt
Thanks Matt for your super quick reply :-)

Hi Scott,
Did you manage to sort the payment gateway for Global Payments?
We have a client that we have suggested to use Umbraco Commerce but they want to use Global Payments by HSBC.
Just interested if you did and how difficult it was?
Many Thanks,
Richard
