Typically your developer would be given information on how to connect to the gateway and parse information back and forth (including the message formats and response codes). This all is dependent on the processor your choose. Some have very well documented tutorials for this, others have skimpy information.
Usually you would not need to give information about the processor, other than how to connect and forward the transaction and vice versa, how to receive the response codes back. However, this is assuming, you are doing a straight-forward processing. If however, you are trying to build a system, where you are trying to develop some unique features that are not otherwise available, and would only be available, by providing a User ID and Password to log in and extract that information - that would be a different case and somewhat rare.
Most decent processors provide API access to develop your application and connect to them, otherwise, simple gateway connections suffice.
