Global Iris

This gateway is an implementation of Global Iris RealAuth, previously known as HSBC Merchant Services or Global Payments.

Normally you will use this in conjunction with the Global Iris RealMPI.

Usage

You will need an account with Global Iris - email globaliris@realexpayments.com. You will also need to let them know your server(s) IP address(es).

  • Add the following attributes to your settings.py:

    MERCHANT_SETTINGS = {
        "global_iris": {
            "TEST": {
                "SHARED_SECRET": "???",
                "MERCHANT_ID": "???",
                "ACCOUNT": "???",
            },
            "LIVE": {
                "SHARED_SECRET": "???",
                "MERCHANT_ID": "???",
                "ACCOUNT": "???",
            },
         }
    }
    

    The details in ‘TEST’ are used for some of the automated tests, and if MERCHANT_TEST_MODE is True.

    In addition, you may have been provided with separate accounts for different credit card types. These can be configured using additional dictionaries, with a key composed of 'LIVE_' or 'TEST_' followed by the following strings:

    • ‘VISA’ for Visa
    • ‘MC’ for MasterCard
    • ‘AMEX’ for AmericanExpress
  • Use the gateway instance:

    >>> g1 = get_gateway("global_iris")
    >>> cc = Visa(first_name="Joe",
                  last_name="Bloggs",
                  number="4012345678901234",
                  month=12,
                  year=2014,
                  verification_value="456")
    
    >>> response = g1.purchase(Decimal("15.00"), cc, options={'order_id': 123})
    >>> response
    {"status":"SUCCESS", "message": "Authcode: ...", "response":<Response [200]> }
    
    >>> response
    {"status:"FAILURE", "message": "...", response_code: 205}
    

    options must include the following:

    • order_id: string that uniquely identifies the transaction.

    It may include:

    • billing_address and shipping_address: dictionaries with the items:

      • street_address: first line of address (includes house number)

      • post_code: post code of address. (street_address and post_code must both

        be supplied for AVS checks).

      • country: 2 letter ISO country code.

    • currency: which can be 'GBP', 'USD' or 'EUR' (defaults to 'GBP').

    • customer: string that uniquely identifies the customer

    • product_id: product code assigned to the product

    • varref: addition any reference assigned to the customer, which can allow checking of previous transactions by this customer, through the use of the RealScore service

    • customer_ip_address: IP address of the customer, dotted decimal notation

    If you are using the RealMPI integration, as described above, then the RealAuth response may contain a number of other attributes that might be useful:

    • avsaddressresponse: AVS response code for address, as documented in https://resourcecentre.globaliris.com/documents/pdf.html?id=102
    • avspostcoderesponse: AVS response code for post code.
    • cvnresult: (no documentation known for this)
    • cardissuer: dictionary that may contain these keys:
      • bank
      • country
      • country_code
      • region
  • You may want to run the tests:

    ./manage.py test billing
    

    To run all the test suite, you will need a ‘TEST’ dictionary in your MERCHANT_SETTINGS[‘global_iris’] dictionary, as above, and you will also need to add a list of cards to test in a ‘TEST_CARDS’ entry as below:

    MERCHANT_SETTINGS = {
      "global_iris": {
          "TEST": {
              "SHARED_SECRET": 'x',
              "MERCHANT_ID": 1234,
              "ACCOUNT": "foo",
              },
          "TEST_CARDS": [
                {
                  'TYPE': 'VISA',
                  'NUMBER': '4263791920101037',
                  'RESPONSE_CODE': '00',
                  },
                ...
              ],
          }
      }
