David Cook

Worked on enhancing the SecurePayAU gateway within the activemerchant/active_merchant repository, focusing on improving reliability and XML compliance for stored-card transactions. Implemented the inclusion of order IDs in stored-card payment requests and ensured the correct XML Content-Type header, aligning with SecurePayAU’s specifications. Introduced a configurable request timeout to increase resilience against network latency and expanded unit test coverage to validate both default and custom timeout behaviors. Leveraged Ruby and XML for API integration and payment gateway configuration, with an emphasis on robust testing. These updates improved compatibility, reduced transaction failures, and supported future scheduled payment workflows for the gateway.
