To develop Payment Gateway API in dotnet

Hi

I want to develop a payment gateway API in dotnet using SOAP.

Kindly suggest the resources for reference to developing the payment gateway API in dotnet

If I'm understanding you correctly, your question is more about programming in dotnet than general Ecommerce yes?

[novamentor]

No, Its purely an ecommerce, I need to know how to implement this functionalty in dotnet or in general.

So you want to use one of the existing payment gateway services? If so, they each have their own APIs and provide technical resources on their websites.

I assume you want to interface with existing payment gateways, using web services within asp.net. (Your post said that you want to develop a payment gateway... that would be useful only if you processed payments already).

Many payment gateways offer a Name-Value-Pair (NVP) interface, which is more of a RESTful interface than SOAP. There are a few (namely PayPal) that offer both a NVP and SOAP interface, and it's personal preference which one to use.

Generally, they return an XML structure, so you want to become familiar with XML Schemas (.xsd files) and the XML (de-)Serializers in the .NET Framework, in order to parse the response the ".NET way".
