DoPayment command in comparison with plug-ins

The Payment Rules subcomponent simplifies the integration of payment back-end systems with WebSphere Commerce because it relies on the "snap in" architecture of payment plug-ins and does not require the WebSphere Commerce task commands (Doxxxxx commands) that have been traditionally related to performing payment processing.

For example, it is not necessary to use task commands such as DoPayment, DoRefund, and DoDeposit to perform transactions. The use of these traditional payment commands are not recommended, the suggested way is to use plug-ins.

For more information about the WebSphere Commerce Payments commands that are not used by the orders function to perform payment processing, or that have Payment Rules replacement commands, see Relationship of WebSphere Commerce Payments commands to Payment Rules .
