ercaspay 1.0.0.2

ercaspay plugin

ERCASPAY is a Python package that interacts with the Ercaspay Payment Platform. It supports various payment methods such as card transactions, USSD, and bank transfers. Along with the Python package, the repo includes a Django app and a Flask app for integrating Ercaspay functionality into web applications.

For extra support, there is a docstring in every class and function to guide and explain their usage more effectively. Checkout more and test using the test/test.py

Installation

To get started, install the Ercaspay package via pip:

pip install ercaspay

Command Line Interface (CLI)

You can use the ercaspay command in your terminal to check supported banks and verify if a specific bank is supported.

List all supported banks:

ercaspay --bank list

Check if a specific bank is supported:

ercaspay --bank fcmb

Requirements

The package requires two files to interact with the Ercaspay API:

1. ERCASPAY_AUTHORIZATION: This is required to perform most actions with the Ercaspay API.

2. ERCASPAY_PUBLIC_KEY: This is required for card transactions. Note: that when passing the ERCASPAY_PUBLIC_KEY, you should remove the header and footer before including it in your environment file.

Setup

Initialize the Ercaspay Instance

You can initialize the Ercaspay class by either passing an environment file or by directly setting the values in your code.

Option 1: Using an Environment File

You can create an .env file containing your Ercaspay credentials and configurations. Then, you can initialize the Ercaspay instance like this:

from ercaspay import Ercaspay



ercaspay = Ercaspay(env='filename')

# filename content

ERCASPAY_AUTHORIZATION=ECRS-TEST-SKNvIyOB5m62L7GMeP1pJ867074LXvHyeMGyYQT4WF

ERCASPAY_PUBLIC_KEY=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAwcyK35rw4X4w9vzb/bcdc1oIClGruVO/2bzlti/U07lWIS4HEZQQwva+rHYniO4yglz0IMJPIT+XteF77303qsAvgYFF4B6OmVtYD7QezLWvVlU0h7oXc9fCz2V+23B6gRUZjmNxE3FMIUhNIb9eqR+rl3wONi1d6qhp6Wsw3ogfcbm9w5RNWgJqFTn+TftxvWmq32TpIKEAIYIHed9SNyKO/BgCKtPedTbKwGCrFQnFFopeKrhJEf5lG5KEu28/50QkmXsjnADW1f4SPhuVqcKt3TDtDkFh5ocxD9fMrSyPV4INBtH18Uf9yDfGwMtBlEj1oTkXVt/evncIjvdXUwIDAQAB

Option 2: Direct Initialization

Alternatively, you can directly pass the required parameters when initializing the Ercaspay instance:

from ercaspay import Ercaspay



ercaspay = Ercaspay(

    token='ECRS-TEST-SKNvIyOB5m62L7GMeP1pJ867074LXvHyeMGyYQT4WF',

    rsa_key='MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAwcyK35rw4X4w9vzb/bcdc1oIClGruVO/2bzlti/U07lWIS4HEZQQwva+rHYniO4yglz0IMJPIT+XteF77303qsAvgYFF4B6OmVtYD7QezLWvVlU0h7oXc9fCz2V+23B6gRUZjmNxE3FMIUhNIb9eqR+rl3wONi1d6qhp6Wsw3ogfcbm9w5RNWgJqFTn+TftxvWmq32TpIKEAIYIHed9SNyKO/BgCKtPedTbKwGCrFQnFFopeKrhJEf5lG5KEu28/50QkmXsjnADW1f4SPhuVqcKt3TDtDkFh5ocxD9fMrSyPV4INBtH18Uf9yDfGwMtBlEj1oTkXVt/evncIjvdXUwIDAQAB',

)

Performing Transactions

To perform any transaction (via card, USSD, or bank transfer), you first need to initialize the transaction.

Example: Common Transaction

# Create the transaction

response = ercaspay.initiate(100000.55, "Test User", "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", redirectUrl='https://example.com')

print(response)



# Get transaction reference

transaction_ref = response['responseBody'].get('transactionReference')



# checking status

response = transaction.status()

print(response)



#  checking details

response = transaction.details()

print(response)



# more in the test/test.py

Example: Card Transaction

# Create the transaction

response = ercaspay.card()

print(response)



# Get response code

response_code = response['responseBody'].get('code')



# if code is C0: transaction successful no auth required



# if code is C2: redirect customer to response['responseBody']['checkoutUrl']



# if code is C1: otp has been sent to customer phone

response = transaction.submit_otp(otp)

print(response)



#  request new otp

response = transaction.resend_otp()

print(response)



# code are determine by the type of card use

Sample Flask and Django Plugin

Flask Example

You can integrate Ercaspay into your Flask app as follows test/flask.py :

from  flask  import  Flask

from  typing  import  Dict

from  ercaspay.flask  import  ErcaspayPage



app  =  Flask(__name__)

app.secret_key  =  "your-secret-key"



ErcaspayPage(app, "Sponsor Scholarship Contribution", ercaspay_url='/payment')



@app.route("/")

def  hello_world():

    return  "Hello World!"



if  __name__  ==  "__main__":

    app.run(debug=True)

Django Example

In your Django app, you can perform similar operations using views test/website:

# Add ercaspay into ur installed app in (settings.py)

INSTALLED_APPS  = [

    #...others

    'ercaspay',

]



# setting conf for ercaspay (settings.py)

ERCASPAY = {

    "ENV": None,

    "TOKEN": None,

    "RSA_KEY": None,

    "CURRENCY": "NGN", # note u can specify currency for each transaction when u integrate

    "ADMIN_SITE": "/",

    "REDIRECT_URL": "/",

    "AUTH_REDIRECT_URL": "auth",

    "PAYMENT_PAGE_NAME": "",

    "PAYMENT_PAGE_DESC": "",

    "NO_PHONE": True

}



# Add path in ur project or app urls, specify any name e.g payment or ercaspay (urls.py)

path('ercaspay/', include('ercaspay.urls')),

Response Handling

Responses from the Ercaspay API are structured into two categories: failure and success. Below are examples of both types. For more response structures, check the test/response.txt file in this repository.

Failure Response

Failure responses have a fixed structure and typically include the following keys:

{

  "errorCode": "400",

  "message": "a short msg e.g Bad request",

  "explanation": "a little long explanation that can be displayed in the browser to the user"

}

Success Response

Success responses contain more data, with a dynamic responseBody depending on the API call. Examples of success responses:

• Example for a successful transaction:

  {
  
    "requestSuccessful": true,
  
    "responseCode": "success",
  
    "responseMessage": "success",
  
    "responseBody": {
  
      "paymentReference": "[e-mail]",
  
      "transactionReference": "ERCS|20241217025313|1734400393621",
  
      "checkoutUrl": "https://sandbox-checkout.ercaspay.com/ERCS|20241217025313|1734400393621"
  
    }
  
  }
  

• Example for a pending transaction requiring user action:

  {
  
    "requestSuccessful": true,
  
    "responseCode": "C1",
  
    "responseMessage": "success",
  
    "responseBody": {
  
      "code": "C1",
  
      "status": "PENDING",
  
      "gatewayMessage": "Kindly enter the OTP sent to 234805***1111",
  
      "supportMessage": "Didn't get the OTP? Dial *723*0# on your phone (MTN, Etisalat, Airtel). For Glo, use *805*0#.",
  
      "transactionReference": "ERCS|20241217025313|1734400393621",
  
      "paymentReference": "[e-mail]",
  
      "gatewayReference": "oCKuDTqT2l",
  
      "amount": 100050,
  
      "callbackUrl": "https://nigga.com"
  
    }
  
  }
