CMS Made Simple Forums

I am considering building a payment gateway module that would combine the AuthNetAIM module and the PaypalGateway module functions to allow for either payment method. This is by a customer request. I have done this on other web sites, but never with CMSMadeSimple.

Before I spend too much time digging into this, is this concept of 2 payment gateways within one module even possible with the CGEcommerce/Products/Orders Suite?

The idea would be to fork the AuthNetAIM and PaypalGateway modules into a single module that would then allow the user to decide which payment gateway they would use by clicking on a link or selecting it in a dropdown.

Sure, it should be possible because it is all PHP
I imagine you would just create a new module offering the end user both payment options while the module's admin would have options to enter account credentials for both gateways.
Great idea!

Thanks JohnnyB,

My customer has actually decided they don't need both anyway, but my hope was not to have to manage the admin module and fork it. I guess my question was more based on that. If I have a need to do this in the future I will look into it further. I guess I'll have to look at the CGEcommerceBase module to determine that.
