GovukPayApiClient

A simple client to integrate with the Govuk Pay payment gateway.

GovukPayApiClient::CreatePayment.call(<fee object>, <url to return to>)

The first argument is a fee object that must repond to #description (text), #reference (string), and #amount (integer, in pence). The second object is a url string that tells the Gov UK Pay gateway where to redirect the user after a successful payment. Both are required.

GovukPayApiClient::RequiresFeeObject will be raised if a fee object is not supplied.

GovukPayApiClient::RequiresReturnUrl will be raised if a return url is not supplied.

GovukPayApiClient::GetStatus.call(<fee object>)

Requires a fee object that must respond to #govpay_payment_id, which should return an id that is valid on the Gov UK Pay gateway.

It returns an object with the method #status for a successful calls. Unsuccessful calls raise errors in the 400 to 599 status range and will therefore raise GovukPayApiClient::Unavailable errors.

GovukPayApiClient::RequiresFeeObject will be raised if a fee object is not supplied.

If any GovukPayApiClient post or get request returns a status in the 400 to 599 range, the client will raise GovukPayApiClient::Unavailable. It will also raise GovukPayApiClient::Unavailable if the connection times out or is otherwise unavailable.
