I need to implement credit card transactions using authorize.net. I wanted to ask if anyone had feedback on the approach I'm planning to use, because I'm a relatively young developer and this is a pretty important thing to get right, and there are many smart and experienced people here. I would have an action method (in a conversation-scoped bean) that looks something like this: | public void processPayment() { | //execute an AUTH_ONLY request, which checks funds availability etc, but doesn't transfer funds, and returns an authcode | if (successful) { | //create payment record (with authcode) and persist to DB. Store transaction id locally for capture step. | raiseTransactionSuccessEvent("creditCardSuccess"); | } else { | //prompt user for corrected info or show error screen as appropriate | } | } | | @Observer("creditCardSuccess") | public void capturePayment() { | //execute a PRIOR_AUTH_CAPTURE request, which does the transfer, using the stored transaction id | if (successful) { | //don't do much except log a success | } else { | //email the admin notifying him/her of failure. Admin would probably need to manually trigger a capture. | } | } | The idea is I don't want to charge the user unless I know I have a record of their payment, so I wait until the transaction completes successfully. I've not done too much with transaction-aware code, but I think I'm using it correctly. Does this seem reasonable? Thanks for your time.
