JarCastingWhat is it?
The killbill-zuora-plugin is a Killbill payment plugin that allows to interact with zuora as a payment gateway. Its has been tested with the version 27.0 of the zuora API.
Release builds are available on Maven Central with coordinates com.ning.killbill:zuora-plugin.
Setup
First, add zuora api jar in the pom:
Zuora API is not public, and they provide you with an xml configuration of their API that can be used to generate java classes.
In order to use that plugin you need to have a jar of the zuora API; you can export environment variables that the pom will read to specify the details of the artifact: zuora_api_groupId=XXX zuora_api_artifactId=XXX zuora_api_version=XXX
Another option is to edit the pom directly.
Second, configure Zuora with the new custom fields:
The plugin makes use of a specific custom field (a 128 long string), called 'Killbill' for the following zuora objects:
- Subscription
- Invoice
In order to use that plugin, zuora needs to be configured with those custom fields.
How that Works?
Zuora is NOT a payment gateway so the plugin tricks the API by creating oneTime subscription, followed by a bill run to generate the invoice, and finally a payment associated to the invoice generated. The payment will interract with the payment gateway that zuora uses to really make the payments.
Tests
In order to run the tests against the zuora sandbox, you must specify the 3 system properties:
- killbill.zuora.config.test-zuora.userName=XXX
- killbill.zuora.config.test-zuora.password=XXX
- killbill.zuora.config.test-zuora.url=https://apisandbox.zuora.com/apps/services/a/27.0
