How do i add a new payment gateway?

It's a firly simple process (assuming you have the store solution compiling).

Just add a new project with the same structure and files as one of the existing providers (say PayPal), obviously you need to rename all the namespaces, etc to separate your new provider from the one you copied.

I found it useful to add some methods to the PaymentControlBase to do things like sending customised emails (the kind of functionality that can be re-used for all gateways).

Once you've created your provider and it compiles, you just need to upload the assembly you created to the bin directory and the .ascx files (with .resx if necessary) to the desktopmodules/store/providers/gatewayproviders/<yourprovidername>/ folder.

I've created a basic email provider (that just sends emails notifying you of an order, but doesnt charge the customer anything) which I'd be happy to upload as a demo.

The problem is that I've made other changes, so you'd find that my new provider won't simply "plug in" to your existing module.

Perhaps one of the Store team can advise us the best way to provide code samples like this?

It seems like the Store just looks into the GatewayProviders folder and sees what subfolders there are there, then uses this knowledge to populate the list of Gateways, based on the subfolder names (regardless of whether they contain a working gateway). Hmm, well, it works...
