Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.How difficult would it be to integrate Eurobill (www.eurobill.com). Eurobill has an IPN (Instant Payment Notification-System - http://www.eurobill.com/setup/setup_events_en.pdf).
It should not be a huge problem to integrate eurobill with its IPN, should it?

Dublin Drupaller commentedIt looks relatively straightforward. Shouldn't take too long.
Do you have a eurobill account to test it with?

Dublin Drupaller commentedsorry..just saw their charges...14% of sales volume.
Do you know if that means total monthly sales or each transaction? if it's the latter it's an extremely high comission rate. the online payments average is between 3% and 8%.

portait commentedI do not have a test account, yet. But I'll tell you as soon as I got one.
It seems like they charge 14% per sale which seems expensive but the reason why I wanna use their payment gateway anyway is because they offer Direct Debit Payments (ELV). Direct Debit Payments are very popular in Germany.
Their api: http://www.eurobill.com/setup/setup_api_en.pdf

Dublin Drupaller commentedhaving looked at the lm_paypal modules I think it might be better to build a eurobill.module for the ecommerce suite.
the way the ecommerce suite of modules is designed, it's easier to add a new payment gateway module to it. lm_paypal looks pretty much dedicated to paypal.
If you have a look at the paypal.module and other gateway modules that already exist for the ecommerce suite, I think you might find it easier to integrate it.
incidentally, most of the payment modules that exist for the ecommerce suite has instant payment notification of some shape or form. I.e. it will tell Drupal that the payment has been made.
hope that helps

LeeMcL commentedI had a brief look at the Eurobill system but, from a programming point of view, their IPN (Instant Payment Notification) system has nothing in common with PayPal's IPN apart from the name. So it would be quite a lot of work to port the code over.
The Ecommerce suite is definetly the way to go in the long run. My PayPal modules are PayPal specific but because of that they are very small and easy to configure.
Unless someone else is willing to do the Eurobill port, or perhaps pay me to do it, this issue will be closed. (Sorry if that seems mercenary, but I'm pretty short on time, and money!, at the moment.)
