This module lets you use the Elavon (formerly Nova Information Systems) Virtual Merchant real-time payment gateway, a successor to viaKlix, from an application that uses the Business::OnlinePayment interface.

You need an account with Elavon. Elavon uses a three-part set of credentials to allow you to configure multiple 'virtual terminals'. Since Business::OnlinePayment only passes a login and password with each transaction, you must pass the third item, the user_id, to the constructor.

Elavon offers a number of transaction types, including electronic gift card operations and 'PINless debit'. Of these, only credit card transactions fit the Business::OnlinePayment model.

Since the Virtual Merchant API is just a newer version of the viaKlix API, this module subclasses Business::OnlinePayment::viaKlix.

This module does not use Elavon's XML encoding as this doesn't appear to offer any benefit over the standard encoding.

Sets defaults for the Virtual Merchant gateway URL.

Converts credit card types and transaction types from the Business::OnlinePayment values to Elavon's.

Maps data from Business::OnlinePayment name space to Elavon's, checks that all required fields for the transaction type are present, and submits the transaction. Saves the results.
