django-pinpayments

django-pinpayments provides helper functions for Pin Payments - a relatively new Australian payment processor that doesn't require merchant accounts and that doesn't require purchasers to have an account. Some may call it the "Australian version of Stripe".

django-pinpayments provides template tags to render the Pin.js payment form, which uses the Card API for processing. This means you can collect credit card details on your website, submit them via javascript to Pin (without them landing on your server), then process the payment on your server using the single-use card token that Pin return.

The provided Card tokens can also be used to create Customer tokens, to use for delayed or recurring billing.

django-pinpayments is designed to be a simple base for your own billing projects. It doesn't make too many assumptions, and leaves many things open for your design input.

Not Included

  • Any link to your existing models or business logic
  • Views for users to review/update their stored credit cards, or review previous transactions

Todo

  • Tests
  • More documentation
  • Signals on success or failure

Pre-requisites

Settings

  • PIN_ENVIRONMENTS - a dictionary of dictionaries containing Pin API keys & secrets
  • PIN_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT - a pointer to the environment to be used at runtime, if no specific environment is requested.

Warning: Make sure your settings do not end up in public source repositories, as they can be used to process payments in your name.

PIN_ENVIRONMENTS

Each environment must have the 'key' and 'secret' values.

I highly recommend at least test & production, however you can also configure other key pairs if you have eg a separate Pin account for part of your website. Perhaps you have membership sales processed by one account, and merchandise by another.

This setting, with at least one environment, is required for django-pinpayments to function. There is no default.

    PIN_ENVIRONMENTS = {
        'test': {
            'key': 'pk_qokBvPpEHIVmNETSoSdDVYP',
            'secret': 'MBjZMurpDtjDANDNFQObZmBhMg',
            'host': 'test-api.pin.net.au',
        },
        'live': {
            'key': 'pk_yGCGLonMHJMFscFyNaLZdkEV',
            'secret': 'tOAQeMsMaBrxejJHIqHJVIObUS',
            'host': 'api.pin.net.au',
        },
        'live_project2': {
            'key': 'pk_ByNNmfJfsMywEIEa-aCteTR',
            'secret': 'CPslpGmoakWdPuxjtrfibZVLaS',
            'host': 'api.pin.net.au',
        },
    }

API keys and secrets are available from your Pin Account page. Hosts should not include https or a trailing slash; these will be added automatically.

PIN_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT

At runtime, the {% pin_headers %} template tag can define which environment to use. If you don't specify an environment in the template tag, this setting determines which account to use.

Default: PIN_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT = 'test'

Template Tags

Two template tags are included. One includes the Pin.js library and associated JavaScript, and the other renders a form that doesn't submit to your server. Both are required.

Both tags are in pin_payment_tags, so you should include {% load pin_payment_tags %} somewhere near the top of your template.

pin_headers - Render pin.js and helper functions

This tag should be called inside the head tag of your HTML page. It will render multiple <script> tags: one to load pin.js, the other to define a function that will run on submit of the form to load the card token from the Pin API.

    {% load pin_payment_tags %}
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>My Payment Page</title>
            <script src='/path/to/jquery.js'></script>
            {% pin_header "test" %}
        </head>
        <body>
            <!-- page content -->
        </body>
    </html>

The output of this tag can be overridden by modifying templates/pinpayments/pin_headers.html. The included sample utilises jQuery, which should be included in your page prior to the pin_headers template tag.

To switch to your live API tokens, change test to live.

pin_form - Render HTML form for Payment

Use pin_form to render the payment form, which includes billing address and credit card details. Your fpage should already include a form tag, the pin_headers tag, and the csrf_token.

    <form method='post' action='.' class='pin'>
        {% csrf_token %}
        <!-- your existing form -->
        {% pin_form %}
        <input type='submit' value='Process Payment'>
    </form>

By default, the template does not include name attributes on the fields so they will not be posted to your server. You can modify templates/pinpayments/pin_form.html to customise the form layout.

Models

pinpayments.PinTransaction

This model holds attempted and processed payments, including full details of the API response from Pin.

There's an assumption that you'll have your own "Order" table, with a 1:N or N:N link to PinTransaction.

To create a new Transaction in the view that receives the form submission, use the PinTransaction model along with some custom data.

    transaction = PinTransaction()
    transaction.card_token = request.POST.get('card_token')
    transaction.ip_address = request.POST.get('ip_address')
    transaction.amount = 500 # Amount in dollars. Define with your own business logic.
    transaction.currency = 'AUD' # Pin supports AUD and USD. Fees apply for currency conversion.
    transaction.description = 'Payment for invoice #12508' # Define with your own business logic
    transaction.email_address = request.user.email_address
    transaction.save()

    result = transaction.process_transaction() # Typically "Success" or an error message
    if transaction.succeeded:
        return "We got the money!"
    else:
        return "No money today :( Error message: %s " % result

You may choose to call the process_transaction() function sometime after creation of the PinTransaction, for example from a cronjob or worker queue. This is left as an exercise for the reader.

pinpayments.CustomerToken

If you do recurring billing, or if you charge a card a significant amount of time after collecting card details (at present, Pin expire card tokens after 1 month) then you need to use the Customers API to create a Customer record. A Customer can then have multiple transactions created, without collecting card details again.

In the view that receives card_token from your payment form, create a new instance of CustomerToken using the provided create_from_card_token function.

To allow users to manage their active cards, a CustomerToken record must be tied to a contrib.auth.User record. You should provide a view to review & cancel CustomerToken records.

    card_token = request.POST.get('card_token')
    user = request.user
    customer = CustomerToken.create_from_card_token(card_token, user, environment='test')

If you later want to charge this customer, just create a new PinTransaction for them.

    # Get the first active token. Big assumption that we have one we can use.
    customer = request.user.customertoken_set.filter(active=True)[0]
    transaction = PinTransaction(
        customer_token  = customer,
        email           = request.user.email,
        ip_address      = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR'),
        amount          = 25, # Dollars
        currency        = 'AUD',
        description     = 'Monthly payment',
    )
    transaction.save()
    result = transaction.process_transaction()
    if transaction.succeeded:
        return "We got the money!"
    else:
        return "No money today :( Error message: %s " % result

When the customer changes their credit card, you should collect that new card via the existing form and JavaScript, and call the new_card_token method on their token.

    # Get the first active token. Big assumption that we have one we can use.
    customer = request.user.customertoken_set.filter(active=True)[0]
    result = customer.new_card_token(request.POST.get('card_token')
    if result:
        return "Updated and ready to charge!"
    else:
        return "Unable to update card. Try again."

Because you're keeping the CustomerToken, you can re-bill them as often as is necessary (within your legal rights and your agreement with the customer, obviously).

Models related to Payouts

pinpayments.BankAccount

This model has limited functionality but as a storage tool. It houses the bank account information returned from Pin.net.au on the creation of bank account tokens.

pinpayments.PinRecipient

This model contains references to recipients, which are the objects that can be sent money. They can be saved using data returned from Pin, and there exists also helper functionality for generating the Pin requests from raw bank account details.

    # Given an accountholder name, BSB and account number:
    recipient = PinRecipient.objects.create_with_bank_account(
        request.user.email,   # required, string
        account_holder_name,  # required, string
        account_bsb,          # required, string or int
        account_number,       # required, string or int
        account_alias,        # optional, string
    )

pinpayments.PinTransfer

This is the equivalent of transaction, for when the mony is coming out of your pin account, and into a recipient's bank account.

Note that, unlike Transactions, Transfers is using the same currency unit as Pin This means the base unit of the currency (cents instead of dollars, pence instead of pounds, yen for JPY)

    # Given a PinRecipient with a valid token:
    transfer = PinTransfer(
        transfer_value,  # required, string or int
        description,     # required, string
        pin_recipient,   # required, PinRecipient
        currency,        # optional. AUD if not provided
    )

Warnings

The contributors and I are not responsible for anything this code does to your customers, your bank account, or your Pin account. We are providing it in good faith and provide no warranties. The above code samples are just that: Samples. Your production code should be full of testing and other ways to deal with the many errors and problems that arise from processing payments online.

All use is at your own risk.
