# Mollie API client for Ruby #

Accepting [iDEAL](https://www.mollie.nl/betaaldiensten/ideal/), [Mister Cash](https://www.mollie.nl/betaaldiensten/mistercash/), [Creditcard](https://www.mollie.nl/betaaldiensten/creditcard/), [PayPal](https://www.mollie.nl/betaaldiensten/paypal/), and [paysafecard](https://www.mollie.nl/betaaldiensten/paysafecard/) online payments without fixed monthly costs or any punishing registration procedures. Just use the Mollie API to receive payments directly on your website.

## Requirements ##
To use the Mollie API client, the following things are required:

+ Get yourself a free [Mollie account](https://www.mollie.nl/aanmelden). No sign up costs.
+ Create a new [Website profile](https://www.mollie.nl/beheer/account/profielen/) to generate API keys (live and test mode) and setup your webhook.
+ Now you're ready to use the Mollie API client in test mode.
+ In order to accept payments in live mode, payment methods must be activated in your account. Follow [a few of steps](https://www.mollie.nl/beheer/diensten), and let us handle the rest.
+ This API client requires the [REST Client](https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client) and [JSON](https://rubygems.org/gems/json) gems.

## Installation ##

By far the easiest way to install the Mollie API client is to install it with [gem](http://rubygems.org/).

```
	$ gem install mollie-api-ruby
```

You may also git checkout or [download all the files](https://github.com/mollie/mollie-api-ruby/archive/master.zip), and include the Mollie API client manually.

## How to receive payments ##

To successfully receive a payment, these steps should be implemented:

1. Use the Mollie API client to create a payment with the requested amount, description and optionally, a payment method. It is important to specify a unique redirect URL where the customer is supposed to return to after the payment is completed.

2. Immediately after the payment is completed, our platform will send an asynchronous request to the configured webhook to allow the payment details to be retrieved, so you know when exactly to start processing the customer's order.

3. The customer returns, and should be satisfied to see that the order was paid and is now being processed.

## Getting started ##

Requiring the Mollie API Client.

```ruby
		require "Mollie/API/Client"
```	

Initializing the Mollie API client, and setting your API key.

```ruby
		mollie = Mollie::API::Client.new
		mollie.setApiKey "test_dHar4XY7LxsDOtmnkVtjNVWXLSlXsM"
```	

Creating a new payment.
	
```ruby
		payment = mollie.payments.create \
			:amount      => 10.00,
			:description => "My first API payment",
			:redirectUrl => "https://webshop.example.org/order/12345/"
```
	
Retrieving a payment.

```ruby
		payment = mollie.payments.get payment.id
		
		if payment.paid?
			puts "Payment received."
		end
```

### Refunding payments ###

The API also supports refunding payments. Note that there is no confirmation and that all refunds are immediate and
definitive. Refunds are only supported for iDEAL, credit card and Bank Transfer payments. Other types of payments cannot
be refunded through our API at the moment.

```ruby
		payment = mollie.payments.get payment.id
		refund  = mollie.payments_refunds.with(payment).create
```

## Examples ##

The examples require [Sinatra](http://rubygems.org/gems/sinatra) so you will need to install that gem first. Afterwards simply run:

```
	$ cd mollie-api-ruby
	$ ruby examples/app.rb
```
