Alpha Card Objects

Alpha Card operates with next 5 objects:

  • Account (represent your Alpha Card credentials)
  • Order
    • Billing
    • Shipping
  • Sale

Let us consider each of them.

Account

Account represents credentials data to access Alpha Card Gateway. All sales will be created for the specified account.

Required fields:

  • username : String
  • password : String

Constructor:

AlphaCard::Account.new(username, password)

Order

Order represents itself.

Unnecessary fields:

  • orderid : String
  • orderdescription : String
  • ponumber : String
  • tax : String
  • ipaddress : String
  • billing : AlphaCard::Billing
  • shipping : AlphaCard::Shipping

Constructor:

AlphaCard::Order.new({field_name: value, ...})

Billing

Specify Billing information for Order.

Unnecessary fields:

  • firstname : String
  • lastname : String
  • email : String
  • fax : String
  • phone : String
  • company : String
  • address1 : String
  • address2 : String
  • city : String
  • state : String
  • zip : String
  • country : String
  • website : String

Constructor:

AlphaCard::Billing.new({field_name: value, ...})

Shipping

Specify Shipping information for Order.

Unnecessary fields:

  • firstname : String
  • lastname : String
  • company : String
  • address_1 : String
  • address_2 : String
  • city : String
  • state : String
  • zip_code : String
  • country : String
  • email : String

Constructor:

AlphaCard::Shipping.new({field_name: value, ...})

Sale

Sale is the main object of the Alpha Card Services. It processes fees associated with credit cards.

Required fields:

  • ccexp : String
  • ccnumber : String
  • amount : String

Unnecessary fields:

  • cvv : String

Constructor:

AlphaCard::Sale.new({field_name: value, ...})

To create the payment you must call create(alpha_card_order, alpha_card_account) method:

...
sale = AlphaCard::Sale.new({})
sale.create(order, )

This method returns true if sale was created successfully and raise an AlphaCardError exception if some of the fields is invalid.

Example of usage

Create AlphaCard sale:

require 'alpha_card'

def create_payment
   = AlphaCard::Account.new('demo', 'password')

  billing = AlphaCard::Billing.new({ email: '[email protected]', phone: '+801311313111' })
  shipping = AlphaCard::Shipping.new({ address_1: '33 N str', city: 'New York', state: 'NY', zip_code: '132' })

  order = AlphaCard::Order.new({ orderid: 1, orderdescription: 'Test order' })

  # Format of amount: "XX.XX" ("%.2f" % Float)
  sale = AlphaCard::Sale.new({ ccexp: '0117', ccnumber: '4111111111111111', amount: "1.50", cvv: '123' })
  sale.create(order, )
rescue AlphaCard::AlphaCardError => e
  puts e.message
  false
end

Billing and Shipping is an optional parameters and can be not specified.

Note: take a look at the amount of the Order. It's format must be 'xx.xx'. All information about variables formats can be found on Alpha Card Payment Gateway Integration Portal -> Direct Post API -> Documentation -> Transaction Variables

Naming convention of attributes (such as "ccexp" or "orderid") was saved for compatibility with AlphaCard API.

To raise some exceptions do the next:

  • to cause a declined message, pass an amount less than 1.00;
  • to trigger a fatal error message, pass an invalid card number;
  • to simulate an AVS match, pass 888 in the address1 field, 77777 for zip;
  • to simulate a CVV match, pass 999 in the cvv field.

Example of exception:

...
2.1.1 :019 >  sale.create(order, account)
AlphaCard::AlphaCardError: Invalid Credit Card Number REFID:127145481
