Remarks
The PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component routes different types of payments to the pipeline that can process the payment. For each Payment in the OrderForm, the PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component performs the following steps:
Determine the PaymentMethod for the Payment.
Search the PaymentMethodTable to find the name of the pipeline that processes this kind of Payment.
Retrieve the pipeline from the pipelinesPipelineCollection.
Run the pipeline to process the Payment.
Earlier versions of Commerce Server stored information about a credit card payment in the dictionary for the OrderForm object. Commerce Server 2007 stores information about a credit card payment in the payments entry in the dictionary for the OrderForm object. If the pipeline that processes credit card payments in your application expects information about a credit card to be in the OrderForm object, use the Commerce Server Pipeline Editor to select Backward Compatible For Credit Card Processing on the Execution Mode tab of the Component Properties page for the PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component.
You can configure the PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component to validate that the sum of all Payments is equal to the OrderForm's total. If the sum of all Payments is not equal to the OrderForm's total, the PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component raises an exception. To configure the PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component to validate that the sum of all Payments is equal to the OrderForm's total, use the Commerce Server Pipeline Editor to select Validate Payment Total on the Execution Mode tab of the Component Properties page for the PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component.
If the amount of one Payment is zero and the amounts of all other Payments are non-zero, the PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component will calculate a value for the amount of the Payment whose value is zero. The PaymentMethodRouter pipeline component subtracts the sum of all non-zero Payment amounts from the OrderForm's total, and assigns the difference to the Payment whose amount was zero.
