pyshoket

• A Python wrapper for Shoket API.
• Make online payments easy with pyshoket, connecting MNO such as Tigo (Tigopesa), Halotel (Halopesa) and Airtel (Airtel money)

Installation

• Installing pyshoket using pip

pip install pyshoket

• OR You can also install pyshoket from github repository.

git clone https://github.com/maen08/pyshoket

Setup environment variables

To perform payments with Shoket, you need to pass PRIVATE_KEY in the request. Its already handled in this wrapper, what you need to do is to keep your Shoket key private.

• You can receive your private key here after signup in the Shoket account.
• In the root directory of your project, create .env file to store your key

PRIVATE_KEY=mpBsk_icAldgTTvXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

NB: No space between equal sign

Usage

To enable payments in your project with pyshoket, this is how you can do it.

from pyshoket import PyShoket

shoket = PyShoket()
response = shoket.make_payment(
    amount=2000,
    customer_name='Stanley Ruheza',
    customer_email='[email protected]',
    customer_number='255717610000',
    channel='Tigo'

)

print(response)

If we check the response of the above request (Successful request), it will be something like this:

# Response of successful request


{
    "Status": "success" ,
    "customer" {
        "customer_name": "376FcD3gbidW",
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "id": 64043
    },
    "data": {
        "amount": 2000,
        "channel": "Tigo",
        "currency": "TSH",
        "number_used": "255717610000",
        "status": "Success",
        "transaction_date": "2022-03-01 15:08:59.917691"
    },
    "message": "Transaction is completed",
    "reference": "adz49dS428b7kbDTdG4MN"
}

If the private key is incorrect, then you'll recieve this response:

# Unsuccessful response

{
    "detail": "Unauthorized Access",
    "message": "Errors!, Unsuccessful payment",
    "status_code": "401"
}
