get cc_type value

Question

How could I get the value (text, not the code) of cc_type in my payment gateway model?

In payment gateway model for authorize() and capture() I do get $payment object from which I do get cc_type as $payment->getCcType() but it returns the code for the cc_type how could I get the value of the code. e.g., it return VI for the VISA. So, how could I get VISA from the $payment or $payment->getCcType()?

Answer 1

The below code in my payment model works fine:

$sType = $payment->getCcType();
$aType = Mage::getSingleton('payment/config')->getCcTypes();
if (isset($aType[$sType])) {
    $sName = $aType[$sType];
}
else {
    $sName = Mage::helper('payment')->__('N/A');
}

Answer 2

I assume there is an array with the correspondence between the cc type code and the label.
There is one for example in authorize.net.

If your payment method works in a similar way with the authorize.net then your can do this.

$ccType = $payment->getCcType();
$paymentInstance = $payment->getMethodInstance();
$ccTypes = $method->getConfigData('cctypes');

if (isset($ccTypes[$ccType])) {
    $label = $ccTypes[$ccType];
}
else {
    $label = ''; //not a valid cc type
}
