Integrating Rapyd payments checkout in python.

Rapyd payment integration in a python application.

What you need to start

• Rapyd Account (https://dashboard.rapyd.net/sign-up)
• Python (and pip) installed on your dev environment.
• Extras: to be able to register Webhooks with Rapyd and receive webhook event requests, you will also be required to install ngrok and expose the port the python app is running on eg ngrok http 5000 then register the ngrok url to receive the request from Rapyd.

Initial setup (Rapyd dashboard)

• Log in to your Rapyd account
• Make sure you are using the panel in "sandbox" mode (switch in the top right part of the panel)
• Go to the "Developers" tab. You will find your API keys there. Copy them and update the values in the utilities.py
• Proceed to the next steps to run the app in your dev environment.

Getting started with testing the app

• From within this apps folder, run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the dependencies (Flask) the app relies on.
• Then python app.py or python3 app.py to start the app @ http://127.0.0.1:5000/
• From this url, you can access the apps home page which contains the payment form, that when submitted, initiates the payment workflow.

Webhooks

• From Rapyd's client dashboard, go to the "Webhooks" tab and enter the URL where the application listens for events. By default it is "https://{YOUR_BASE_URL}/rapyd-webhooks" ( see app.py route definitions ) and mark which events should be reported to your app. The {YOUR_BASE_URL} is the ngrok url you get after exposing the port the python app is running on.
