Adding a new payment method

1. Create a script (which will send data to your payment processor server) with the name e.g. my_transact.php in the payments/cc_processors directory of your CS-Cart installation.
2. Create a template file inside your administrator skin, where the payment will be configured (e.g, skins/[ADMININSTRATOR_ACTIVE_SKIN]/admin/payments_pages/cc_processors/my_transact.tpl).
3. Insert a record into the cscart_payment_processors database table, for example:
   

   REPLACE INTO cscart_payment_processors (processor, processor_script,
   processor_template, admin_template, callback) values ('Your payment',
   'your_payment_script.php', 'your_payment_template.tpl',
   'your_payment_config_template.tpl', 'Y');

   
   where:
4. processor - the name of your payment processor (e.g., MyTransact);
5. processor_script - the name of PHP script in the payments/cc_processors directory, which will send data to your processor;
6. processor_template - the name of the template, which will be displayed in the customer area at the Summary step of checkout (it should be located in the directory skins/[CUSTOMER_ACTIVE_SKIN]/customer/payments);
7. admin_template - the template filename that you created at step 2;
8. callback - indicates whether your processor is background or web-based. Background means that your script will post the data to processor server without redirecting to it (e.g., PayPal Pro, Authorize.Net). Web-based means that the customer will be redirected to the processor website for the payment when he/she clicks on the Place order button on the Summary page).
