python-getpaid-core 3.1.0

Framework-agnostic payment processing core.

python-getpaid-core

Framework-agnostic payment processing core.

python-getpaid-core is the foundation of the Getpaid ecosystem. It provides the abstract interfaces, semantic payment update engine, and plugin registry needed to build a robust payment system without coupling your logic to a specific web framework or payment provider.

Installation

pip install python-getpaid-core

Quick Start: Creating a Custom Processor

To implement a new payment backend, subclass BaseProcessor and implement at least prepare_transaction.

from getpaid_core import BaseProcessor
from getpaid_core.types import TransactionResult

class MyPaymentProcessor(BaseProcessor):
    slug = "my-provider"
    display_name = "My Payment Provider"
    accepted_currencies = ["USD", "EUR"]

    async def prepare_transaction(self, **kwargs) -> TransactionResult:
        # Generate payment link or form data
        return TransactionResult(
            redirect_url=f"https://api.provider.com/pay/{self.payment.id}",
            method="GET"
        )

Registering your Processor

Register your processor using entry points in your pyproject.toml so it can be discovered by the registry:

[project.entry-points."getpaid.backends"]
my-provider = "my_package.processors:MyPaymentProcessor"

Architecture Overview

• BaseProcessor: The abstract base class that all payment gateway plugins must implement. It provides the standard interface for transaction preparation, callback handling, charging, and refunds.
• PaymentFlow: Manages the payment lifecycle using semantic payment update objects. It ensures that payments move between states (e.g., NEW -> PREPARED -> PAID) according to strict business rules.
• PluginRegistry: A central service for discovering and managing payment processors registered via getpaid.backends entry points.
• State Engine: Applies semantic payment and fraud events to payment objects, merges provider metadata, and tracks idempotent provider event IDs.

API Summary

Class / Module	Role
BaseProcessor	Abstract base for implementing payment gateways.

PaymentStatus	Enum for all possible payment states (NEW, PAID, FAILED, etc.).
registry	Singleton registry for backend discovery.
TransactionResult	Standard response for transaction initiation.
GetPaidException	Base exception for all payment-related errors.
