Usage Guide

Create a Payment

payment = afw.create_payment(
    amount=5000,            # Amount in minor units (5000 = 50 XAF)
    currency="XAF",
    description="Order #1234",
    callback_url="https://yoursite.com/payment/callback",
    customer={
        "name": "Jean Dupont",
        "email": "[e-mail]",
        "phone": "[phone]",
    },
    metadata={"order_id": "ORD-1234"}
)

print(payment["checkout_url"])  # Redirect user here
print(payment["id"])            # e.g., pay_507f191e8180f

Retrieve a Payment

payment = afw.retrieve_payment("pay_507f191e8180f")

print(payment["status"])   # "pending" | "success" | "failed"
print(payment["amount"])
print(payment["paid_at"])

Create a Payout

payout = afw.create_payout(
    amount=10000,
    currency="XAF",
    recipient={
        "phone": "[phone]",
        "network": "MTN",  # "MTN" | "ORANGE" | "MOOV" | "WAVE"
        "name": "Marie Kamga",
    },
    reference="PAYOUT-REF-001"
)

print(payout["status"])  # "pending" | "success" | "failed"

List Payments

result = afw.list_payments(limit=20, status="success")

for payment in result["data"]:
    print(payment["id"], payment["amount"], payment["status"])

Webhook Verification

Verify that incoming webhooks are genuinely from AfconWave:

import hashlib
import hmac
from flask import Flask, request, abort

app = Flask(__name__)
WEBHOOK_SECRET = "your_webhook_secret"

@app.route("/webhooks/afconwave", methods=["POST"])
def handle_webhook():
    signature = request.headers.get("X-AfconWave-Signature", "")
    payload = request.get_data(as_text=True)

    expected = hmac.new(
        WEBHOOK_SECRET.encode(),
        payload.encode(),
        hashlib.sha256
    ).hexdigest()

    if not hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature):
        abort(400, "Invalid signature")

    event = request.get_json()

    if event["event"] == "payment.success":
        print("Payment received:", event["data"]["id"])
    elif event["event"] == "payment.failed":
        print("Payment failed")
    elif event["event"] == "payout.success":
        print("Payout delivered")

    return "OK", 200

try:
    payment = afw.create_payment(amount=5000, currency="XAF", callback_url="...")
except AfconWaveError as e:
    print(f"API Error {e.status_code}: {e.message}")
