Currently the only features supported are:

* Creating Purchases

Further support for additional functionality will be added as time permits, however if you require this funcitonality and are not able to
add it yourself please contact [e-mail] and request the changes.


Usage
=====

Purchases
---------

import fatzebra

gw = fatzebra.gateway.Gateway("your username", "your token", True) # The final param indicates whether or not to use the sandbox
try:
result = gw.purchase(100, "Jim Smith", "5123456789012346", "05/2014", "123", "122.99.99.111")
if result.successful:
print "Purchase approved - ID: " + result.id
else:
print "Purchase declined. Message: " + result.message
except fatzebra.errors.GatewayError, e:
print "Gateway error: " + str(e.errors) # <-- e.errors is an array.
except fatzebra.errors.AuthenticationError:
print "Authentication error - please check your username and token"

Tokenization
------------

import fatzebra

gw = fatzebra.gateway.Gateway("your username", "your token", True) # The final param indicates whether or not to use the sandbox
try:
card = gw.tokenize("Jim Smith", "5123456789012346", "05/2014", "123")
print "Card Tokenized - token: " + card.token
except fatzebra.errors.GatewayError, e:
print "Gateway error: " + str(e.errors) # <-- e.errors is an array.
except fatzebra.errors.AuthenticationError:
print "Authentication error - please check your username and token"


Purchase with Token
-------------------

import fatzebra

gw = fatzebra.gateway.Gateway("your username", "your token", True) # The final param indicates whether or not to use the sandbox
try:
token = "abc12345"
result = gw.purchase(100, token, "122.99.99.111")
if result.successful:
print "Purchase approved - ID: " + result.id
else:
print "Purchase declined. Message: " + result.message
except fatzebra.errors.GatewayError, e:
print "Gateway error: " + str(e.errors) # <-- e.errors is an array.
except fatzebra.errors.AuthenticationError:
print "Authentication error - please check your username and token"


Refund
------

import fatzebra

gw = fatzebra.gateway.Gateway("your username", "your token", True) # The final param indicates whether or not to use the sandbox
try:
original_transaction = "013-P-ABJU879H"
result = gw.refund(original_transaction, 100, "my refund reference")
if result.successful:
print "Refund approved - ID: " + result.id
else:
print "Refund declined. Message: " + result.message
except fatzebra.errors.GatewayError, e:
print "Gateway error: " + str(e.errors) # <-- e.errors is an array.
except fatzebra.errors.AuthenticationError:
print "Authentication error - please check your username and token"


Notes
=====

The gateway class utilizes 3 error classes:

* `fatzebra.errors.GatewayError` - this represents an unsuccessful response from the gateway (invalid card number, expiry etc). Check the `errors` attribute for messages (array)
* `fatzebra.errors.GatewayUnknownError` - this represents an unknown error. Check the `code` and `response` attributes for details
* `fatzebra.errors.AuthenticationError` - this indicates your username and token are incorrect. Confirm that you have the right details and you are using the right gateway. Sandbox credentials will begin with **TEST**
