  Gringotts is a payment processing library in Elixir integrating various payment gateways, drawing motivation for Shopify's <a href="https://github.com/activemerchant/active_merchant"><code>activemerchant</code></a> gem.

Gringotts offers a **simple and unified API** to access dozens of different payment
gateways with very different APIs, response schemas, documentation and jargon.

## Installation

### From [`hex.pm`][hexpm]

Add `gringotts` to the list of dependencies of your application.
```elixir
# your mix.exs

def deps do
  [
    {:gringotts, "~> 1.1"},
    # ex_money provides an excellent Money library, and integrates
    # out-of-the-box with Gringotts
    {:ex_money, ">= 2.6.0"}
  ]
end
```

## Usage

This simple example demonstrates how a `purchase` can be made using a sample
credit card using the [MONEI][monei] gateway.

One must "register" their account with `gringotts` ie, put all the
authentication details in the Application config. Usually via
`config/config.exs`

```elixir
# config/config.exs

config :gringotts, Gringotts.Gateways.Monei,
    userId: "your_secret_user_id",
    password: "your_secret_password",
    entityId: "your_secret_channel_id"
```

Copy and paste this code in a module or an `IEx` session, or use this handy
[`.iex.exs`][monei-bindings] for all the bindings.

```elixir
alias Gringotts.Gateways.Monei
alias Gringotts.CreditCard

# a fake sample card that will work now because the Gateway is by default
# in "test" mode.

card = %CreditCard{
  first_name: "Harry",
  last_name: "Potter",
  number: "4200000000000000",
  year: 2099, month: 12,
  verification_code:  "123",
  brand: "VISA"
}

# a sum of $42
amount = Money.new(42, :USD)

case Gringotts.purchase(Monei, amount, card) do
  {:ok,    %{id: id}} ->
    IO.puts("Payment authorized, reference token: '#{id}'")

  {:error, %{status_code: error, raw: raw_response}} ->
    IO.puts("Error: #{error}\nRaw:\n#{raw_response}")
end
```

## On the `Gringotts.Money` protocol and money representation

All financial applications must take proper care when representing money in
their system. Using simple `float`ing values might lead to losses in the real
world due to [various reasons][floating-issues].

Most payment gateways are strict about the formatting of the `amount` in the
request, hence we cannot render arbitrary floating amounts like
`$4.99999`. Moreover, such amounts might mean something to your application but
they don't have any value in the real world (since you can't charge someone for
a fraction of a US cent).

Your application **must round** such amounts before invoking Gringotts **and manage
any remainders sensibly** yourself.

> Gringotts may perform rounding using the [`half-even`][wiki-half-even]
strategy, but it will discard remainders if any.

### Supported "Money" libraries

Gringotts does not ship with any library to work with monies. You are free to
choose any monie library you wish, as long as they implement the
[`Gringotts.Money`][protocol] for their type!

That said, we recommend [`ex_money`][ex_money] (above [`v2.6.0`][2_6_0]) to
represent monies. You just have to add it in your `deps()`.
