This is the documentation of Payplug's Python library. It is designed to help developers to use Payplug as payment solution in a simple, yet robust way.

You can create a Payplug account at https://www.payplug.com.

Prerequisites

Payplug's library relies on python-requests>=1.0.1 to perform HTTP requests and requires OpenSSL to secure transactions. You also need either a Python 2.6+ or a Python 3.3+. The library is known to work with these versions, pypy and pypy3. It may work on older versions or other Python implementations without warranty. If you use an implementation that is not listed above, do not hesitate to let us known if it worked for you or not, so that we can update this prerequisites. To ensure Python 2 and Python 3 compatibility, this library also depends on six>=1.4.0.

Here's how simple it is to create a payment request:

payplug.set_api_version("2019-08-06")

customer = {
    'email': 'john.watson@example.net',
    'first_name': 'John',
    'last_name': 'Watson',
    'address1': '221B Baker Street',
    'postcode': 'NW16XE',
    'city': 'London',

}

payment_data = {
    'amount': 3300,
    'currency': 'EUR',
    'billing': customer,
    'shipping': customer,
    'hosted_payment': {
        'return_url': 'https://www.example.net/success?id=42710',

To run the tests under different configuration, you can use tox. It's recommended to use pyenv project to install different python versions on the same system.

$ pip install tox
$ tox

You can also use detox to make the process even faster.
