Magento - Custom Payment Module

Question

This is a very general question, but here it is: I am trying to create a custom payment module in Magento. I created a “regular” module that connects to the Magento event / observer model. But how can I tell Magento about working with the module as a payment module, so it appears in the admin backend and on the verification page?

Answer 1

My common answer would be to try redesigning the magento paypal module in the magento core. Then you can create a module that will look like the desired functionality.
