Interface PaymentAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:

All Known Subinterfaces:

PaymentBatchAdminSession

public interface PaymentAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes Payments. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create a Payment, a PaymentForm is requested using getPaymentFormForCreate() specifying the desired payer, customer, and record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned PaymentForm will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the PaymentForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each PaymentForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

For updates, PaymentForms are requested to the Payment Id that is to be updated using getPaymentFormForUpdate(). Similarly, the PaymentForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The PaymentForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

The delete operations delete Payments. To unmap a Payment from the current Business, the PaymentBusinessAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the Payment itself thus removing it from all known Business catalogs.

This session includes an Id aliasing mechanism to assign an external Id to an internally assigned Id.
