Payments domain model

Current version: 10.1

This section describes the domain model that represents the payment information objects where the following three assertions hold true:

  • The domain model primarily serves as DTO objects for transferring information between the external commerce system and Sitecore.

  • The domain model contains the minimum required information as contracts and will typically be extended when integrated with a specific commerce system.

  • The domain model is used when a Sitecore developer needs to synchronize product data with the external commerce system or product data is pushed into Sitecore from the external commerce system.

The following class diagram shows the domain model.

Note

The domain model consists of abstract classes that make up the contracts with the external system. The contracts are defined as abstract classes instead of interfaces to allow the model to be easily extended later if needed. This follows the best practice guidelines defined in the Framework Design Guidelines. Default implementation of the contracts are delivered as part of Connect. If an actual Connect provider with an external commerce system contains more functionality than that provided by default, the implementation can be replaced. All instantiation of actual classes will be handled through dependency injection.
