Digicel Moncash API SDK for Python

Simple python wrapper to perform and retrieve payment to moncash api with python

Features

• Receive money from a mobile account to business account
• Query transaction status
• Transfert money

Quickstart

Installation

Using pip

    pip install moncash

Receive money from a mobile account

import moncash 

gateway = moncash.Moncash(
    client_id="xxxxxxxx",
    client_secret="xxxxxxxx",
    environment=moncash.environment.Sandbox
)

try:
    get_paid_url = gateway.payment.create(amount=250, reference=10)
except moncash.exceptions.MoncashError:
    get_paid_url = None
    print("Unexpected error...")
    

print(get_paid_url)

# TODO: redirect the user to get_paid_url

Query transactions status

Grab transaction with the reference

try:
    transaction = gateway.payment.get_by_ref(reference=10)
except moncash.exceptions.NotFoundError:
    transaction = None
    print("We didnt found this transaction... It is not valid")
except moncash.exceptions.MoncashError:
    transaction = None
    print("Unexpected error...")

Grab transaction with the transactionId

# you should handle error
try:
    transaction = gateway.payment.get_by_id(transactionId=10)
except moncash.exceptions.NotFoundError:
    transaction = None
    print("We didnt found this transaction... It is not valid")
except moncash.exceptions.MoncashError:
    transaction = None
    print("Unexpected error...")

The response should be something like for the transactions querying status (whether with reference or the id):

{
    "reference": "13", 
    "transaction_id": "2160048483", 
    "cost": "250", 
    "message": "successful", 
    "payer": "50936050083"
}
