Introduction

Payment Gateways are essential to any E-Commerce Solution, however, they can also be some of the most complex components to implement.   This is due to the fact that each payment gateway requires a slightly different set up and different parameters and thus requires a different configuration.

With this in mind, I have undertaken the work of putting together a quick and easy crash course on payment gateways and their relationship with the E-Commerce Framework.  It is my hope that this will help developers get off on the right foot when implementing their various gateways and avoid some possible pitfalls.
