Quick Start - Frontend Checkout

from tamara.client import client

# Get available payment types
types = client.get_payment_types('SA', 'SAR', 500)

# Create a checkout session
response = client.create_checkout({
    'total_amount': {'amount': 500, 'currency': 'SAR'},
    'order_reference_id': 'ORD-' + str(int(__import__('time').time())),
    'order_number': 'INV-2024-001',
    'consumer': {
        'email': 'customer@example.com',
        'first_name': 'Ahmed',

    },
    'country_code': 'SA',
    'merchant_url': {
        'success': 'https://example.com/tamara/callback',
        'failure': 'https://example.com/tamara/failure',
        'cancel': 'https://example.com/tamara/cancel',
        'notification': 'https://example.com/tamara/webhook',
    },
})

# Redirect customer to Tamara checkout
if 'checkout_url' in response:
    # return redirect(response['checkout_url'])
    print(f"Redirect to: {response['checkout_url']}")

Method	URI	Name	Description

POST	/tamara/pay	tamara:pay	Initiate checkout
ANY	/tamara/callback	tamara:callback	Payment callback

GET	/tamara/failure	tamara:failure	Failure handler

API Methods

from tamara.client import client

# Payment Types
types = client.get_payment_types('SA', 'SAR', 500, '500000000')

# Checkout
checkout = client.create_checkout(data)

# Order Management
order = client.get_order('order-id-here')
order = client.get_order_by_reference_id('ref-id-here')

# Authorise / Capture / Cancel / Refund
authorised = client.authorise_order('order-id')
captured = client.capture_order('order-id', {'amount': 500})
cancelled = client.cancel_order('order-id', {'reason': 'out_of_stock'})
refunded = client.refund_order('order-id', 500, 'SAR', 'Refund comment')

# Webhook Management
webhook = client.webhook_register(
    'https://example.com/webhook',
    ['order_approved', 'order_declined', 'order_authorised', 'order_captured', 'order_refunded'],
)
webhook_list = client.webhook_list()
webhook_detail = client.webhook_get('webhook-id')
client.webhook_delete('webhook-id')
client.webhook_update('webhook-id', 'https://example.com/webhook', ['order_approved'])

Handling Webhooks

The webhook endpoint logs all incoming events. Extend the view or listen to the log to implement your business logic:

# views.py (custom webhook handler)
import json
import logging
from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.views import View
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

@method_decorator(csrf_exempt, name='dispatch')
class CustomWebhookView(View):
    def post(self, request):
        payload = json.loads(request.body)
        event = payload.get('event_type')
        order_id = payload.get('order_id')
        status = payload.get('status')

        if event == 'order_approved':
            # Mark order as approved
            pass
        elif event == 'order_captured':
            # Fulfill the order
            pass
        elif event == 'order_refunded':
            # Process refund
            pass

        return JsonResponse({'success': True})
