$orderid	ID of the order currently being processed
$gw→name	Name of the current payment gateway used, as seen in var $name

(*) Component Names:

Auction Factory - com_bids (for Joomla 2.x), com_auctionfactory (for Joomla 3.x)
Reverse Auction Factory - com_rbids

Not to be confused with Extension Names, as in "Auction Factory".

Another method of obtaining this URL is with a code inspection tool via the internet browser. Simply inspecting the Pay button on the last page of the checkout, will give you a complete list of URLs used in the payment process.

[YOUR_SITE]/index.php?option=com_microdealfactory&controller=payment&task=notify&gateway=paypal&lang=en
