WHMCS Sample Merchant Gateway Module
Summary
Payment Gateway modules allow you to integrate payment solutions with the WHMCS platform.
There are two types of gateway module:
-
Third Party Gateways - these are payment solutions where checkout occurs on a remote website, usually hosted by the payment gateway themselves.
-
Merchant Gateways - these are payment solutions where credit card details are collected - usually within the WHMCS application, though more and more often this will be done remotely, typically via an iframe, with a page hosted remotely by the payment gateway enabling tokenised storage.
The sample files here demonstrate how we suggest a Merchant Payment Gateway module for WHMCS be structured and implemented.
