Cloning a Payment Module (1.5.7 and below)
Note: These instructions are for Zen Cart 1.5.7 and below. For Zen Cart 1.5.8 and higher, please see Cloning a Payment Module.
You can create new Payment Module by making a clone of the closest matching Payment Module to what you are trying to do.
As an example, we will consider the moneyorder
payment module.
Payment Modules have 2 parts:
The code file is located in:
/includes/modules/payment/moneyorder.php
The language file is located in:
/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/moneyorder.php
To clone this module, for example, to venmo.php
you would copy the two moneyorder.php
files to venmo.php
Note: Be sure the filename you choose does not have an underscore (_
) in it.
Next, you need to change all occurrences of the strings moneyorder
and MONEYORDER
as follows:
OLD | NEW |
---|---|
moneyorder |
venmo |
MONEYORDER |
VENMO |
These identifiers are case sensitive.
These words are written separately or within the constants such as:
class moneyorder {
...
$this->code = 'moneyorder';
...
$this->title = MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_TITLE;
becomes
class venmo {
...
$this->code = 'venmo';
...
$this->title = MODULE_PAYMENT_VENMO_TEXT_TITLE;
