Novalnet SEPA provider in ai-payments seems outdated – update to current Omnipay gateway?

[claude27]

Hello Aimeos team,

I'm currently trying to use the built-in Novalnet SEPA payment provider from the aimeos/ai-payments package in an Aimeos 24.4 installation.

Unfortunately, it seems that the implementation is based on an older Novalnet Omnipay gateway.

The problem starts in OmniPay.php, where the provider is instantiated via:

$this->provider = OPay::create($this->getValue('type'));

With the configuration

type = Novalnet

Omnipay tries to instantiate

\Omnipay\Novalnet\Gateway

which no longer exists.

The old package fruitcake/omnipay-novalnet (formerly arubia/omnipay-novalnet) still provides that namespace, but it depends on omnipay/common 2.5, which is incompatible with current Aimeos installations using Omnipay 3.x.

The current official Novalnet package is:

novalnet/omnipay

which provides

\Novalnet\Omnipay\Gateway

and also uses a different API and request structure (Payment Access Key, API Signature, Tariff ID, etc.).

From what I can see, the current NovalnetSepa provider in ai-payments still uses the old request format (iban, bic, bankaccount_holder, ...), so it appears to target the legacy gateway.

My questions are:

Are there any plans to update the built-in Novalnet SEPA provider to support the current official novalnet/omnipay package?
Would such an update be accepted as a contribution or is the provider considered deprecated?
If not, would you recommend writing a custom payment provider for the new Novalnet gateway instead?
If this is something that could be implemented by the Aimeos team, would paid development be an option?

I would appreciate your recommendation before investing time in writing a completely new payment provider.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Claude

If you can provide an updated integration for the Novalnet SEPA provider, we are more than happy to merge it into the aimeos/ai-payments extensions
