I've found this to be very helpful myself:
http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/.  I usually find what I need by
searching or posting to the list.

I have yet to use these features in interchange. Sorry, can't help you
here.

>2. Where is the integration point for a custom payment processor? For
example, I have customers who need PayPal IPN, PayPal subscriptions, Echo,
recording of credit card information for batch processing, and several other
requirements. I've found the place in the administration area where you can
specify parameters for credit card processing. But, I don't see how to add
my own payment processing module.

I've implmented a couple of custom payment modules. I started by basing
the new module on one of the existing modules in
<icroot>/lib/Vend/Payment. You then add this to interchange.cfg and restart:

Require module Vend::Payment::YourModule

Both the payment processors I used supplied perl APIs. Its usually
pretty straightforward to implement.  logDebug is helpful when messing
with new payment modules.

Geoff,

You can set up the size, color, etc. in the "options" area for your items.
