AuthNetBackend
This is the backend server for ElectronPOS. It has 3 main functionalities.
- It creates a transaction
- It voids a transaction
- It refunds a transaction
That's really it.
Installation
In order to install just run the 2 commands below. After, you will need to configure some environment variables
$ npm install # At least npm version 3.9.5 with and node version v6.2.2
$ bundle install # At least Bundler version 1.12.3 and gem version 2.5.1
Using Authorize.net credentials
Right now we only support Authorize.net as our gateway, but eventually we will implement support for other gateways.
open up your .bashrc or .bash_profile and create the following environment variables
export EQ_AUTH_NET_NAME="your-authorize.net-login-id"
export EQ_AUTH_NET_TRANS_KEY="your-authorize.net-transaction-key"
That's it for now. Either source your new bash configurations or restart bash.
Now run the final command
$ sudo node server.js --harmony
The --harmony flag is for arrow function support, just in case your node version is a little too low

TODO
Eventually we will be integrating different gateway hooks so in an effort to keep the code the same on the client side, we are just going to handle the actual transactions on the server side.
