Research direction

Start with the Payment Gateway Types page at https://craftcms.com/docs/commerce/4.x/extend/payment-gateway-types.html and its Dummy Gateway reference. Audit the current explanation, then define the workflow charts, code examples, identifier-generation details, and component guidance needed for the page to explain gateway types and extension points clearly.

Description

I don't have a suggestion for https://craftcms.com/docs/commerce/4.x/extend/payment-gateway-types.html

  • Add workflow charts
  • Add code examples
  • Do actually explain what a Gateway Type is - you only say that we can add our own and reference the Dummy Gateway
  • Explain when, where and why hashes/reference and other numbers get generated
  • Make it clear which components (controllers, models, services etc..) are in play and which ones are interchangeable (all of course, but which ones make sense to alter and when)
