Payment Module Development for OkayCMS
Payment module development for OkayCMS
For when the payment provider you need is not in the base package — instalments, a regional bank, crypto payments, or your own payment logic — a separate module gets written.
What is included
- connection to the provider's API following their documentation;
- the payment form and customer redirect;
- handling the provider's response with signature verification — without it, order status can be forged from outside;
- every outcome: success, cancellation, error, refund;
- correct order status transitions and customer notifications;
- a payment log for resolving disputes;
- sandbox testing, then a live check with a small amount.
Where home-grown solutions usually fail
No signature verification. The most dangerous mistake: if the module trusts any incoming request, an order can be marked paid without payment.
Only the success path handled. A cancelled payment leaves the order in limbo and a manager sorts it out by hand.
No protection against repeat processing. A provider may send its confirmation twice — without a guard the order is processed twice.
The callback endpoint is unprotected or, conversely, blocked by a firewall — hence the classic "money taken, order still unpaid".
What you receive
A working module with an operations log and instructions. The code is yours, with no domain binding.
