Add Payment Method

Full PM name → category mapping: references/category-mapping.md

Critical Rules

• Never use catch-all _ to silently drop payment methods -- always return IntegrationError::NotImplemented
• Each payment method gets its own explicit match arm
• BankTransferData and GiftCardData are Box-wrapped -- use .deref()
• Wallet sub-variants (ApplePay, GooglePay, etc.) each need separate nested match arms
• Validate required fields with missing_field_err
• Use get_unimplemented_payment_method_error_message("ConnectorName") for error messages

Workflow: Orchestrator Sequence

Full subagent prompts: references/subagent-prompts.md

Step 1: Analysis & Category Resolution (Subagent)

Subagent prompt: references/subagent-prompts.md → Subagent 1

Inputs: connector_name, requested_payment_methods

What it does:

1. Verifies connector exists and has Authorize flow
2. Reads tech spec for PM-specific API requirements
3. Maps each PM to its PaymentMethodData category (via references/category-mapping.md)
4. Identifies which PMs are already supported
5. Checks if Refund/Capture flows need PM-specific changes

Outputs: category mapping per PM, existing PMs, implementation plan

Gates:

• If tech spec missing → invoke the generate-tech-spec skill first. Do NOT proceed without it.
• If Authorize flow missing → invoke the add-connector-flow skill to add Authorize first.

Step 2: Payment Method Implementation (MANDATORY subagent per PM or category)

CRITICAL: You MUST delegate implementation to a subagent. Do NOT implement code yourself. Read the subagent prompt from references/subagent-prompts.md → Subagent 2, fill in the variables ({ConnectorName}, {PaymentMethod}, {Category}, pattern file path), and spawn a subagent. For multiple PMs in the same category (e.g., Apple Pay + Google Pay = both Wallet), you may use one subagent for the whole category.

Per-category patterns: references/payment-method-patterns/{category}.md

Each PM subagent:

1. Reads the category pattern file
2. Finds the match payment_method_data block in the Authorize TryFrom
3. Adds match arm for the new PM variant
4. Extracts fields, builds connector request
5. Handles unsupported sub-variants with NotImplemented
6. Propagates to Refund/Capture if needed
7. Runs cargo build --package connector-integration

Step 3: gRPC Testing (MANDATORY subagent)

CRITICAL: You MUST delegate testing to a subagent. Do NOT run grpcurl yourself. Subagent prompt: references/subagent-prompts.md → Subagent 3 Testing guide: references/grpc-testing-guide.md

Tests Authorize with each new payment method via grpcurl. The payment_method field in the grpcurl request changes per PM type:

Also tests Refund/Capture with new PMs if those flows were modified.

Step 4: Quality Review (MANDATORY subagent)

CRITICAL: You MUST delegate quality review to a subagent. Do NOT review yourself. Subagent prompt: references/subagent-prompts.md → Subagent 4

Checks:

• Each PM has explicit match arm (no silent drops)
• Unsupported variants return NotImplemented with connector name
• Required fields validated with missing_field_err
• Box-wrapped types properly .deref()'d
• cargo build passes clean

PaymentMethodData Match Pattern

The central pattern for all PM handling is a match on PaymentMethodData inside the Authorize flow's TryFrom. This is the comprehensive pattern:

let payment_method_data = &item.router_data.request.payment_method_data;

match payment_method_data {
    // ---- Card ----
    PaymentMethodData::Card(card) => {
        let card_number = card.card_number.clone();
        let expiry_month = card.card_exp_month.clone();
        let cvc = card.card_cvc.clone();
        Ok(ConnectorPaymentsRequest { payment_type: "card", card_number, ... })
    },

    // ---- Wallet (nested match for sub-variants) ----
    PaymentMethodData::Wallet(wallet_data) => match wallet_data {
        WalletData::ApplePayThirdPartySdk(apple_pay) => {
            let token = apple_pay.payment_data.clone()
                .ok_or_else(missing_field_err("apple_pay.payment_data"))?;
            Ok(ConnectorPaymentsRequest { payment_type: "applepay", token, ... })
        },
        WalletData::GooglePay(google_pay) => {
            let token = google_pay.tokenization_data.token.clone();
            Ok(ConnectorPaymentsRequest { payment_type: "googlepay", token, ... })
        },
        _ => Err(errors::IntegrationError::NotImplemented(
            utils::get_unimplemented_payment_method_error_message("ConnectorName", Default::default()),
        ).into()),
    },

    // ---- Bank Transfer (Box-wrapped, must .deref()) ----
    PaymentMethodData::BankTransfer(bt) => match bt.deref() {
        BankTransferData::SepaBankTransfer { .. } => { ... },
        _ => Err(errors::IntegrationError::NotImplemented(..., Default::default()).into()),
    },

    // ---- Bank Debit ----
    PaymentMethodData::BankDebit(bd) => match bd {
        BankDebitData::SepaBankDebit { iban, .. } => { ... },
        _ => Err(errors::IntegrationError::NotImplemented(..., Default::default()).into()),
    },

    // ---- UPI ----
    PaymentMethodData::Upi(upi) => match upi {
        UpiData::UpiCollect(c) => {
            let vpa = c.vpa_id.clone().ok_or_else(missing_field_err("vpa_id"))?;
            Ok(ConnectorPaymentsRequest { payment_type: "upi_collect", vpa, ... })
        },
        _ => Err(errors::IntegrationError::NotImplemented(..., Default::default()).into()),
    },

    // ---- BNPL ----
    PaymentMethodData::PayLater(pl) => match pl {
        PayLaterData::KlarnaRedirect { .. } => { ... },
        _ => Err(errors::IntegrationError::NotImplemented(..., Default::default()).into()),
    },

    // ---- Catch-all: explicit rejection ----
    _ => Err(errors::IntegrationError::NotImplemented(
        utils::get_unimplemented_payment_method_error_message("ConnectorName", Default::default()),
    ).into()),
}

Key rules:

• Outer match dispatches on PaymentMethodData variants
• Categories with sub-types need nested match (Wallet, BankTransfer, BankDebit, UPI, BNPL)
• BankTransferData and GiftCardData are Box-wrapped → .deref()
• Every level ends with catch-all returning NotImplemented
• Reward is a unit variant with no inner data
