Question on Payment Gateways

[Ltc Hotspot]

Hi Everyone:

What is the difference between Node.js API abstraction for payment gateways and Node.js wrapper for payment gateways? URL links are  available at https://github.com/ltc-hotspot/42-cent and https://github.com/ltc-hotspot/42-cent-base

You would use the base project if you wanted to add a new gateway that is not supported.

Use the other if your just a consumer. With that said there is a lot of abstraction around this code. If your using multiple gateways or plan on switching that is nice. However if your locked into a gateway vendor there are other solutions that give you more features.

Can you be more specific in your question? You basically asked "what's the difference between X and X". Which of course there is none.

You probably don't even need a wrapper, to be honest. Just pick a payment processor (e.g. Stripe or Paypal) and implement payment. It's not that hard.

What are those solutions available for an Authorize.net gateway?

Matt:

Here is a copy of the URL link that refers to the Node.js SDK for Authorize.net payment gateway.The URL link is available at https://github.com/ltc-hotspot/Node-for-Authorize-net

The bottom page refers to Gateway API(s). 

Question: What is the difference between the Gateway API and the the Node.js SDK for Authorize.net payment gateway?

One is a wrapper which allows you to specify different payment processors without changing your API calls (sort of like how nodemailer lets you send mail through different providers without changing anything, or how passport.js allows you to use OAuth/Login through different providers).

The latter only lets you use authorize.net.

Not many people ever switch payment providers once they have one setup, but there are situations where you might want to support alternatives - e.g. paypal and credit cards (e.g. via Stripe).

Question: Using only those gateway credentials provided by
Authorized.net, and 'Node.js SDK for Authorize.net payment gateway,'
there is no other platform necessary to complete an online credit card
transaction?

It's starting to sound like you haven't even tried building anything yet.

Write some code, try it out. We don't know if the suggested libraries will be enough for you until you actually come back with something more than a vague question. Sorry to be harsh, but you need to code something up before asking people if something will work for you.
