How do i enable a third party payment gateway (not supported today by Shopify)

Question

In india, Shopify supports the following payment gateways:

1. Citrus Payment
2. Direc Pay
3. PayU India
4. PayU Paisa

But we have an existing merchant account with Axis Bank. I have no idea where to configure my Axis Bank Payment Gateway with Shopify.

So the question is:

How do i configure my Axis Bank Payment Gateway with Shopify?

Is it even possible to add other payment gateways, which asre not yet supported (not listed in their store admin panel) by Shopify?

Answer 1

You can write a connector for that Gateway that follows the ActiveMerchant pattern. Once it is all tested and works, submit it to Shopify for approval. At that point it becomes an available choice inside Shopify. The ActiveMerchant project spells out all the details for you.
