Gateway Command is a Magento payment gateway component that takes the payload required by a specific payment provider and sends, receives, and processes the provider’s response. A separate gateway command is added for each operation (authorization, capture, etc.) of a specific payment provider.
​

Gateway commands were introduced in Magento 2 to deal with payment gateways, but they can be used in other ways as well such as calling external APIs and processing their response in magento 2 applications.
Let’s take a look at how a Gateway Command actually works.
​

There are 5 main components of a Gateway command. They are as follows:

• Request Builder
• Transfer Factory
• Gateway Client
• Response Handler
• Response Validator
  ExternalApiAuthTokenRequest Vendor\Module\Gateway\Http\TransferFactory Vendor\Module\Gateway\Http\Client\TransactionSale ExternalApiAuthTokenHandler Vendor\Module\Gateway\Validator\ResponseValidator
  

Let’s dive into each of the above points separately.

Request Builder

Request Builder is the component of the gateway command that is responsible for building a request from several parts. It enables the implementation of complex, yet atomic and testable, building strategies. Each builder can contain builder composites or have simple logic.
This is the component which gathers the information from different sources and creates the request payload for the API call.

Basic interface

The basic interface for a request builder is
\Magento\Payment\Gateway\Request\BuilderInterface. Our class should always implement the above interface. The BuilderInterface has a method called “build” which takes a parameter called “buildSubject” which is of type array and returns an array as a result which contains the data which you need to have in the request payload.
The parameter “buildSubject” contains the data which has been passed to the API call at the time of call from any class.

Builder composite

\Magento\Payment\Gateway\Request\BuilderComposite is a container for a list of \Magento\Payment\Gateway\Request\BuilderInterface implementations. It gets a list of classes, or types, or virtual type names, and performs a lazy instantiation on an actual BuilderComposite::build([]) call. As a result, you can have as many objects as you need, but only those required for a request for your API call are instantiated.
BuilderComposite implements the composite design pattern.
The concatenation strategy is defined in the BuilderComposite::merge() method. If you need to change the strategy, you must include your custom Builder Composite implementation.
Adding a builder composite
Dependency injection is used in di.xml to add builder composites. A builder composite may include both simple builders as well as other builder composites.
Below is an example of adding request builders through BuilderComposite class.

   Vendor\Module\Gateway\Request\CustomerDataBuilder Vendor\Module\Gateway\Request\AuthDataBuilder    

Transfer Factory

Transfer Factory enables the creation of transfer objects with all data from request builders. Gateway Client then uses this object to send requests to the gateway processor.
Transfer Builder is used by Transfer Factory to set the required request parameters.
The basic Transfer Factory interface is Magento\Payment\Gateway\Http\TransferFactoryInterface.
The TransferFactoryInterface has a method called “create” which accepts an array parameter which has all the request data merged and sets the data as body of the API call and returns the created object for the gateway client to transfer.
Below is an example of the above method:

public function create(array $request) { return $this->transferBuilder ->setBody($request) ->build(); } 

In this example, the transfer factory simply sets request data with Transfer Builder and returns the created object
Below is an example of a more complicated behavior. Here transfer factory sets all required data to process requests using API URL and all data is sent in JSON format.

public function create(array $request) { return $this->transferBuilder ->setMethod(Curl::POST) ->setHeaders(['Content-Type' => 'application/json']) ->setBody(json_encode($request, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES)) ->setUri($this->getUrl()) ->build(); } 

Gateway Client

Gateway Client is a component of the Magento Gateway Command that transfers the payload to the gateway provider and gets the response.

Basic interface

The basic interface for a gateway client is Magento\Payment\Gateway\Http\ClientInterface.
A gateway client receives a called Transfer object. The client can be configured with a response converter using dependency injection via di.xml.

Default implementations

The below gateway client implementations can be used out-of-the-box:
\Magento\Payment\Gateway\Http\Client\Zend
\Magento\Payment\Gateway\Http\Client\Soap
Example
Below is an example of how a Zend client can be added in di.xml:

...   Vendor\Module\Gateway\Http\Converter\JsonConverter CustomLogger   ... 

The above Converter class must implement “Magento\Payment\Gateway\Http\ConverterInterface” interface which has a method called “convert”. We can implement that method in our custom converter class and process the data and convert to the desired form.

Response Handler

Response Handler is the component of Magento Gateway Command, that processes gateway provider response. In other words, it is used to process the response received from the API. The handler class can be used to perform any type of processing on the received response data. Some of the operations may be as follows:

• Use the API response as source of data to provide response to an internal API call.
• Save information that was provided in the response in database.
• Use the information as data for a new request.

Interface

Basic interface for a response handler is Magento\Payment\Gateway\Response\HandlerInterface

Useful implementations

\Magento\Payment\Gateway\Response\HandlerChain might be used as a basic container of response handlers,
The following is an example of Response Handler class:

public function handle(array $handlingSubject, array $response) { $cacheData = []; $oauthTokenObject = $this->oauthTokenInterfaceFactory->create(); $this->dataObjectHelper->populateWithArray( $oauthTokenObject, $response, Vendor\Module\Api\Data\OauthTokenInterface' ); $cacheData[OauthTokenInterface::EXPIRE_TIME] = $expiresTime; $cacheData[OauthTokenInterface::BEARER_TOKEN] = $oauthTokenObject->getAccessToken(); $this->cache->save( $this->jsonEncoder->encode($cacheData), self::CACHE_ID, [\Magento\Framework\App\Cache\Type\Config::CACHE_TAG] ); } 

The above method is getting the oAuth token data in response and as part of the operation, it is storing the latest token in cache for further usage of the APIs.

Response Validator

Response Validator is a component of the Magento Gateway Command that performs gateway response verification. This may include low-level data formatting, security verification, and even the execution of some store-specific business logic.
The Response Validator returns a Result object with the validation result as a Boolean value and the error description as a list of Phrase.

Interfaces

Response Validator must implement Magento\Payment\Gateway\Validator\ValidatorInterface
Result class must implement Magento\Payment\Gateway\Validator\ResultInterface
An external API integration can have multiple response validators, which should be added to the provider’s validator pool using dependency injection via di.xml.

Useful implementations

• \Magento\Payment\Gateway\Validator\AbstractValidator: an abstract class with ability to create a Result object. Specific response validator implementations can inherit from this.
• \Magento\Payment\Gateway\Validator\ValidatorComposite: a chain of Validator objects, which are executed one by one, and the results are aggregated into a single Result object.This chain can be set to terminate when certain validators fail.
• \Magento\Payment\Gateway\Validator\Result: base class for Result object. You can still create your own Result, but the default one covers the majority of cases.

The following is an example of Response Validator:

public function validate(array $validationSubject) { $isValid = false; $failedExceptionMessage = []; if (isset($validationSubject['response']['error'])) { $failedExceptionMessage = [$validationSubject['response']['message']]; } else { $isValid = true; } return $this->createResult($isValid, $failedExceptionMessage); } 

The above class is extending the \Magento\Payment\Gateway\Validator\AbstractValidator class which has the “createResult” method that returns a ResultInterface as the response of the method.
To summarize the above operations, we have used Magento’s Gateway command feature which was initially developed for implementing payment gateways and utilized it for a custom API call to an external system from our Magento application. We used virtualType and type in di.xml to define the CommandPool which defined our set of commands, GatewayCommand which was the actual API command, RequestBuilder which created the request payload for the API, TransferFactory which merged all the request data and sent to gateway client, the we used the Zend Client to convert the data to JSON format. Response handler, which was used to save the response data in the cache for further use. Response Validator, to check the data received for integrity.
Below is an example of the source of the API call where the API call starts its procedure:

public function execute(array $commandSubject) { /** * Setting a default request_type if not present * * @var string */ $requestType = (isset($commandSubject['request_type'])) ? $commandSubject['request_type'] : \Zend_Http_Client::GET; /** * Setting no extra headers if none defined * * @var array */ $headers = (isset($commandSubject['headers'])) ? $commandSubject['headers'] : []; $auth = (isset($commandSubject['auth'])) ? $commandSubject['auth'] : []; $transfer = $this->transferFactory->create( $this->requestBuilder->build($commandSubject), $commandSubject['url'], $requestType, [], $headers, [], $auth ); $response = $this->client->placeRequest($transfer); $this->setResponse($response); if ($this->validator !== null) { $result = $this->validator->validate( array_merge($commandSubject, ['response' => $response]) ); if (!$result->isValid()) { $this->logExceptions($result->getFailsDescription()); // throw actual error response $errorMessage = $result->getFailsDescription(); throw new CommandException( __(reset($errorMessage)) ); } } if ($this->handler) { $this->handler->handle( $commandSubject, $response ); } return $this; } 

All the classes required for a Gateway command to work need to be present in the Gateway Folder in your module. E.g: Vendor\Module\Gateway\. The folder structure can be as below:

• Vendor\Module\Gateway\Command\: The base class for the command resides in this folder.
• Vendor\Module\Gateway\Http\: The classes for TransferFactory and Client resides in this folder.
• Vendor\Module\Gateway\Request\: The classes for RequestBuilder resides in this folder.
• Vendor\Module\Gateway\Response\: The classes for ResponseHandlers resides in this folder.
• Vendor\Module\Gateway\Validator\: The classes for Validators resides in this folder.

The above process can be used to call any external or internal API for that matter. This method is alot more structured way of calling an external API and it uses curl as the base as well.

P2 Virtual Selling Accelerator – How to become a Virtual Selling Master in Just 5 Days! P2 Virtual Selling Accelerator Overview Virtual selling is no longer optional—it’s an absolute necessity. And even if circumstances change, you’ve seen how the ability to sell and close deals virtually can give you the income, lifestyle and retirement you’ve always dreamed of. But as we all know, selling virtually is not the same as selling face to face for a host of reasons. Often the prospects you sell virtually haven’t seen you present for 90 minutes at a seminar. They definitely aren’t in the confined quiet of your office…and they are most likely being distracted by whatever is going on at home. Plus you don’t have the rapport of being face to face, or the non-verbal communication so important in selling. That’s why—in just a few days—Ethan and I are hosting a 5-day crash course called Presuppostional Playbook (P2) Virtual Selling ACCLERATOR. Normally, we’d push out the launch of a new program 30-60 days, but for obvious reasons, THIS CANNOT WAIT. If you’re willing to give us 90 minutes for 5 straight days, we’ll give you everything you need to master ALL aspects of the virtual selling process, from that first appointment to getting paid. And yes, this even includes technical training and lead generation. Whether you’ve never made a sale virtually and are terrified by the idea… or you currently sell virtually but want to take your sales to the next level, the P2 Virtual Selling Accelerator gives you the scripts, steps, questions and even presentations we’ve used to sell virtually for the past 10 years…and it accellerates your results because you’ll get it all in just 5 days!

“Aliyev regime’s primary goal is not to serve its citizens but to prolong its authoritarian power, supported by foreign patrons, its intellectual subordinates, and a domestic population caught in a state of modern servitude.”
(Lack of) Human Rights and Liberties
According to a statement made by lawyer Elchin Sadigov to Meydan TV, the Baku City General Police Department is currently carrying out searches and conducting investigative measures at various locations linked to jailed activist Bakhtiyar Hajiyev. These locations include the house where Bakhtiyar Hajiyev resides in the capital city, his father’s house in Ganja, the apartments of his brother and friends, as well as his car. The lawyer also mentioned that the phones of these individuals had been seized as well. Hajiyev‘s friend Rail Abbasov was detained, and he was denied to see his lawyer.
Member of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Welfare Party and Resistance Movement, Ziyafat Abbasova, has been admitted to a psychiatric dispensary after her disappearance two days ago. The Ministry of Internal Affairs’ press service stated that Ziyafat Abbasova was placed in the psychiatric dispensary based on complaints from several citizens residing in the shelter where she lives concerning her health condition, and she is currently undergoing treatment. Earlier reports indicated that Ziyafat Abbasova had gone missing since the morning of June 6, when she was expected to attend the book presentation by historian Jamil Hasanli, the chairman of the National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF). However, Abbasova did not attend the book presentation. Ziyafat Abbasova, a member of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Prosperity Party and the Resistance Movement, was placed in a psychiatric dispensary. A day after her disappearance the Ministry of Internal Affairs clarified the whereabouts of the political activist, confirming that was admitted to the mental hospital. Abbasova expressed concerns to her family members, stating that she believes the government has intentions to imprison her for an extended period of time or potentially cause harm to her life. Recently, Abbasova has been actively voicing her dissatisfaction with the government on social media, openly expressing her criticism.
Opposition leader and chairperson of the NCDF Jamil Hasanli has issued a statement regarding Abbasova’s case, demanding her immediate release. Hasanli raised several key points in his comment. Firstly, he questioned the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ spokesperson for failing to clarify the basis on which an individual can be involuntarily placed in a psychiatric institution due to a citizen’s complaint. Secondly, he inquired about the entity responsible for assessing Abbasova’s health condition, whether it was the police or a specialized medical institution. Thirdly, he highlighted that the law enforcement agency entrusted with upholding the law seems to be unaware of or intentionally disregarding the legal requirement that only a court decision can authorize the compulsory treatment of a citizen. “Neither the Ministry of Internal Affairs nor its subsidiary, “Bandotdel,” possess the authority to diagnose an individual or send them to a mental institution. Hasanli drew parallels between this situation and past instances where the Soviet KGB abused their power by fabricating mental illnesses to silence dissent and punish free-thinking individuals. Hasanli expressed concern that the current actions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and “Bandotdel” echo this dark chapter in history.
According to numerous human rights defenders, the Aliyev regime has initiated a new wave of repression against the opposition. Lately, a significant number of activists have been detained. Journalist Teymur Karimov was taken into custody by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, commonly referred to as “bandotdel.” Karimov, who captured and shared images of legitimate protests by the Dashkasan community, found himself targeted while the authorities have not commented on the allegations of corruption. Moreover, instead of investigating the complaint lodged by Dashkasan resident Anar Suleymanov against an official, the authorities have administratively detained him for 30 days. Two other residents of Dashkasan, Musayev Ismayil and Allahverdiyev Polad, who protested corrupt officials in Dashkasan, were fined 300 and 500 manats, respectively. Zaur Ahmadov, another activist associated with the Salyan branch of the APFP, has also been subjected to administrative arrest for 30 days. Additionally, young activist Amrah Tahmazov received a 30-day administrative detention sentence for his critical posts on social media.
In response to the recent arrests, Afgan Mukhtarli, an exiled journalist, asserted that all crimes in Azerbaijan have a political dimension. According to him, the government is responsible for every murder. Mukhtarli claimed that under the leadership of Ilham Aliyev, the Tovuz police and the entire state machinery concealed the murder of minor Narmin. He further alleged that a fabricated verdict was delivered under Aliyev‘s direct supervision. In Mukhtarli‘s perspective, every crime, whether it be a minor theft or the case of grave crime, is a consequence of the corrupt regime led by Aliyev. He claimed that either Aliyev himself commits the crimes or people are compelled to engage in criminal activities due to the predatory nature of his regime.
Governance and Corruption
In a recent development concerning the 2.5 million manat fraud case involving the son-in-law of the ruling Party YAP chairman, a new decision has been reached. The cassation protest against the acquittal of former police officer Elvin Hashimli, who was accused of the said fraud, was reviewed. According to “Qafqazinfo,” the Supreme Court has deemed the prosecutor’s protest to be justified. The court concluded that the previous acquittal decision regarding Elvin Hashimli did not align with the actual circumstances of the case. As a result, the Baku Court of Appeal’s decision was completely overturned, and the case has been rescheduled for further review. Elvin Hashimli was accused of a significant amount of fraud. The prosecution alleged that he deceived the victim, Mohkam Samadov, by making false promises in the name of establishing a business and fraudulently obtaining 2.5 million manats from him. The criminal case was initially investigated at the Baku Serious Crimes Court, which ultimately acquitted Elvin Hashimli due to a lack of evidence supporting his guilt. The protest against the verdict was not upheld by the Baku Court of Appeal. Elvin Hashimli had previously served as an investigator in the Criminal Investigation Department of the Khatai District Police Department before being expelled from the internal affairs bodies. He is the son of Elchin Hashimli, the former head of the Narimanov District Housing and Communal Management Union, and the son-in-law of Vahid Aliyev, chairman of YAP‘s Khojaly district organization.
The head of MAKA (National Aerospace Agency) has been implicated in a scandal involving a significant sum of half a million dollars. Nagi Kangarli, widely recognized as one of the pioneering businessmen in Azerbaijan’s gold industry, had aspirations of holding a governmental position back in 2014. Natig Javadov, who currently serves as the General Director of the National Aerospace Agency and chairs the expert council on Technical Sciences of the Higher Attestation Commission, pledged to secure Kangarli a prominent role with the assistance of Arif Pashayev. It is worth noting that Javadov received the esteemed “Progress” medal from President Ilham Aliyev in 2011.
Gubad Ibadoghlu, the Chairperson of the ADWP (Azerbaijan Democracy and Welfare Party), has commented on the recent corruption scandals and arbitrary arrests, emphasizing the importance of active public demand for accountability and justice. “The Aliyev regime, which has illicitly accumulated substantial capital through looting national resources and misappropriating state budget funds, channels these ill-gotten gains into foreign economies.” Ibadoghlu asserts that the regime’s primary goal is not to serve its citizens but to prolong its authoritarian power, supported by foreign patrons, intellectual subordinates, and a domestic population caught in a state of modern servitude. “Despite facing oppression, the people continue to strive for their daily necessities by tirelessly working day in and day out”, said Ibadoghlu.
