    Payment module API question

    Hi folks, this may be a dumb question, but just to make sure ...

    I have a client that's running a v9 store with some older payment modules that use API version 5.00. Can these modules be used to generate auths, captures, voids, and refunds from the admin pages? Or do they need newer modules to do those things?

    Thanks --

    They can do auths and captures from admin, but to support refunds and voids the modules would have to be updated.

      Hmmm, it seems like the functionality would be pretty limited with a 5.00 module, because:

      - The only available functions are PaymentModule_Authorize() and PaymentModule_Process().

      - PaymentModule_Authorize() can only do the type of operation (auth or capture) that's selected by the module's admin setting

      - PaymentModule_Process() can be used to do captures, but only for the full amount of the original purchase, and only if the payment module is set to do auth's.

      Is the above pretty-much correct, or am I missing something?

      My client doesn't really need voids and refunds; they're small enough that they can handle those through the merchant account. But they do need the ability to do auths freely, e.g. to verify a customer's credit card a few days before creating an order.

      Thanks again --
