Mahiti has been a strong proponent, user and contributor to the open-source world. This time around we have contributed an extension to the Magento eCommerce Community. Magento is a cloud-based digital commerce platform integrating digital and physical shopping experiences, used by many large and small eCommerce stores.
During the process of implementing Magento we realised there is a shortage of good modules for payment-gateway integrations with many Indian payment gateways. The incumbent modules also lacked dynamic merchant-parameter configuration.
This led us to build a module for integration of the BillDesk payment gateway — one we could use ourselves and contribute back to the Magento community. The module took about two-person months to build and refine.
BillDesk is one of the most popular payment gateways in India, providing secure, fast and reliable web and mobile payment solutions to various institutions.
The important aspect of the extension is that the code is clean and the developers used a fluid design approach. In the first version, the module ships as a payment-gateway extension with features to dynamically configure merchant credentials and security key. Going forward, we plan to add a Payment Gateway Response Grid, Direct Menu Access and Request Message customisations.
The extension can be downloaded at the Magento Marketplace, free of cost.
The team that built the module: Sudhir Suresh, Rageesh, Ganesh Kumar and Rajesh Babu.
