How to instanciate a paymentProcessor class?

Question

I have a custom Payment class extending CRM_Core_Payment.

In a custom page outside of the class, I need to call some public methods, such as supportsRecurring() or getReturnSuccessUrl().

What is the clean way to instantiate the class?

Answer 1

There are a couple functions in \Civi\Payment\System which you can call depending on what info about the processor you have at the time.

e.g. if the name (the name field in civicrm_payment_processor) is MyCustomProcessor, then you could do:

$pp = \Civi\Payment\System::singleton()->getByName('MyCustomProcessor', $is_test);

where $is_test is true or false depending on whether you are in test mode or not.
