Forte API v3 PHP Client Library

Forte client library written in PHP for version 3 of the REST API

Forte API Documentation

Installation

Run the following command to include this library within your project

composer require rentpost/forte-payments-php

Configuration

You'll first want to create a configuration file that defines your environments and their respective configuration settings. As an example, we're showing a Symfony service container config. However, this is just passing an array in the following format:

[
  'environments' => [
    'sandbox' => [
      'access_id' => 'xxxxxxxx',
      'secure_key' => 'xxxxxxxx',
      ...
    ],
    'live' => [
      'access_id' => 'xxxxxxxx',
      'secure_key' => 'xxxxxxxx',
      ...
    ],
  ],
]

It's important to note that Forte's sandbox is quite limited for many resources. Therefore, it's possible to override which environment is used for certain "sub resources" (API resources/endpoints)

Development Environments

An example Symfony service container yaml configuration for a development environment, using a "livetest" environemnt with specific sub resource overrides.

parameters:
  forte_api_client_settings:
    environments:
      sandbox:
        access_id: "%forte_api_default_access_id%"
        secure_key: "%forte_api_default_secure_key%"
        authenticating_organization_id: "%forte_api_default_authenticating_organization_id%"
        sandbox: "%forte_api_default_sandbox%"
        base_uri: ~
        debug: false
      livetest:
        access_id: "%forte_api_livetest_access_id%"
        secure_key: "%forte_api_livetest_secure_key%"
        authenticating_organization_id: "%forte_api_livetest_authenticating_organization_id%"
        sandbox: "%forte_api_livetest_sandbox%"
        base_uri: ~
        debug: false

Production Environments

A simple Symfony service container configuration for a production environemtn without any necessary overrides.

parameters:
  forte_api_client_settings:
    environments:
      live:
        access_id: "%forte_api_default_access_id%"
        secure_key: "%forte_api_default_secure_key%"
        authenticating_organization_id: "%forte_api_default_authenticating_organization_id%"
        sandbox: "%forte_api_default_sandbox%"
        base_uri: ~
        debug: false

Usage

Here is an example credit card 'sale' transaction.

PSR Logger

We first create a dummy logger. Feel free to use any PSR compliant logger. This is used when debugging is enabled in the configuration. Otherwise, all Exceptions will surface and must be caught.

use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

namespace Acme\File;

class Logger implements LoggerInterface
{

  public function log($level, $message, array $context = []) {
    // Handle logging
  }

  // Other interface methods
}

Create Transaction

To use, you'll want to call the Rentpost\ForteApi\Client\Factory::make method which will give you a Rentpost\ForteApi\Client\ForteClient object. The ForteClient object provides access to all "sub resources" (Forte API endpoint/resources).

The library makes use of Model and Attribute objects which assist with validation and serialization. Any complex values will make use of an Attribute. A Model is an object representation of a Forte API resource and all required and optional parameters.

use Acme\File\Logger as FileLogger;
use Rentpost\ForteApi\Attribute;
use Rentpost\ForteApi\Client\Factory as ForteApiClientFactory;
use Rentpost\ForteApi\Exception\Request\AbstractRequestException;
use Rentpost\ForteApi\Model;

// The first parameter is our settings array.  See the "Configuration" section
$settings = [
  'environments' => [
    'sandbox' => [
      'access_id' => 'xxxxxxxx',
      'secure_key' => 'xxxxxxxx',
      ...
    ],
    'live' => [
      'access_id' => 'xxxxxxxx',
      'secure_key' => 'xxxxxxxx',
      ...
    ]
  ],
];

$forteClient = new ForteApiClientFactory::make($settings, new FileLogger());

$organizationId = new Attribute\Id\OrganizationId('org_123456');
$locationId = new Attribute\Id\LocationId('loc_123456');

$card = new Model\Card();
$card->setCardType('visa')
  ->setNameOnCard('John Doe')
  ->setAccountNumber('1234567890')
  ->setExpireMonth('01')
  ->setExpireYear('2019')
  ->setCardVerificationValue('123');

$address = new Model\PhysicalAddress();
  ->setStreetLine1('123 Foo St.')
  ->setStreetLine2('Apt. 123')
  ->setLocality('New York') // City/town/village
  ->setRegion('NY') // State or province
  ->setPostalCode(new Attribute\PostalCode('12345'));

$transaction = new Model\Transaction();
$transaction->setAction('sale')
  ->setCard($card) // Or setEcheck for ACH
  ->setBillingAddress($address)
  ->setOrderNumber('PO-12345')
  ->setAuthorizationAmount(new Attribute\Money('100.00'))
  ->setCustomerIpAddress(new Attribute\IpAddress('192.168.0.1'));

try {
  $forteClient->useTransactions()->create(
    $organizationId,
    $locationId,
    $transaction
  );
} catch (AbstractRequestException $e) {
  $logger->log($e->getModel()->getResponse()->getResponseDesc());

  throw $e;
}

Testing

This library makes use of make recipes to execute all necessary commands. To view a list of recipes just execute make.

Requirements

Running tests against Forte's sandbox environment will not return back any meaningful results for many resources. Therefore, an additional "livetest" account is needed for running various tests. This is a real account. You could use a production account in place of this (not advised). But be aware that, in either case, real money will be moved if used for transaction endpoints. Forte can setup a "livetest" account for you if needed with very low transaction limits to prevent mistakes.

The following dev composer packages are required for automated testing.

  • "phpunit/phpunit" (version 7.0+)
  • "vladahejda/phpunit-assert-exception" for assertException and related trait

PHPUnit is used for both unit tests, and integration test (Testing actual API calls to Forte)

Configuration

The integration tests require some settings. This is done via the test/settings.php file. See test/settings.php.dist as an example.

Running

Before running tests, you'll need to be sure the project is initialized and vendor packages are installed via Composer. To do so, run make init first. Then you can run tests as follows:

make test

Issues / Bugs / Questions

Please feel free to raise an issue against this repository if you have any questions or problems

Todo

There are still a few "sub resource" classes (read: Forte endpoints/resources)that haven't been completed/aren't supported yet. This is simply because we aren't using these. Feel free to submit these as a pull request, or issue ticket if necessary.
