For a project I'm working on, I really only need the payment capabilities of the Store module but based on my initial analysis, it seems there may be a lot of unnecessary dependecies within the payment portion on the store and cart pieces. I will be looking at ways to reduce these dependencies such that payments are not tightly bound to the other functionalilty so it can be used by other modules.

I'd be happy to donate back the code I produce that will hopefully be well encapsulated with a clear API.

Let me know if there is any work along these lines already progressing.

Any chance you could share the latest code with me? Or tell me the latest status on this? I don't really see the need for a provider model. The key is that you should be able to compile and use the Payments module having to include a reference to the Store module.

The store module should have to reference to the Payments module (or provider) as there is a dependency of the store on Payments, and not the other way around.
