Front-Commerce Payments
Front-Commerce contains mechanisms that allow to process of payments in a platform-agnostic way. Payment platforms integrated as a Front-Commerce Payment are compatible with every eCommerce platform that Front-Commerce supports. This guide provides insights about how they work so you can better understand how they could fit into your project.
With Front-Commerce payments, interactions occur from Front-Commerce GraphQL/Node.js middleware so that remote systems (OMS, ERP softwares…) will only receive Orders when they are paid.
These payment methods are also aimed at being as frictionless as possible for Customers, so payment inputs are usually embedded in the checkout page to prevent redirecting Customers to third-party providers. Per their nature follow the Direct Order payment workflow.

How is a Front-Commerce Payment method integrated with eCommerce platforms
Front-Commerce handle payments directly, without the need for a payment integration in your eCommerce system. However, Front-Commerce provides a generic Payment method tailored for your eCommerce platform so that you can still benefit from its order management features and workflows.
From your eCommerce system's perspective, a payment made with Front-Commerce is integrated in a similar way than checks / wire payments (sometimes named "offline payment"). The difference is that Front-Commerce will update orders statuses upon receiving automatic notifications from the payment service.
