epoint

Python client for the epoint.az payment gateway.

Covers all 30 documented endpoints: payments, saved cards, refunds and payouts, split payments, pre-authorisation, installments, wallets, Apple Pay and Google Pay, invoices, and B2B transfers. Sync and async, fully typed, one dependency.

pip install epoint

Quick start

fromepointimportEpointClientclient=EpointClient(public_key="i000000001", private_key="your-private-key")
payment=client.create_payment(amount=30.75, order_id="order-1", description="Test order")
print(payment.redirect_url)

Send the customer to payment.redirect_url. When they finish, epoint calls your result URL. Verify it before trusting it:

fromepointimportSignatureErrortry:
callback=client.verify_callback(data, signature)
exceptSignatureError:
return"invalid", 400ifcallback.ok:
fulfil(callback.order_id, callback.transaction)

Async

AsyncEpointClient has the same methods, awaited:

fromepointimportAsyncEpointClientasyncwithAsyncEpointClient(public_key="i000000001", private_key="your-private-key") asclient:
payment=awaitclient.create_payment(amount=30.75, order_id="order-1")
status=awaitclient.get_status(payment.transaction)

verify_callback stays synchronous on both clients, since it only does a signature check.

Configuration

Pass keys directly, or read them from the environment:

client=EpointClient.from_env()

Variable
EPOINT_PUBLIC_KEY	Required
EPOINT_PRIVATE_KEY	Required
EPOINT_BASE_URL	Defaults to https://epoint.az
EPOINT_LANGUAGE	Defaults to az
EPOINT_SUCCESS_REDIRECT_URL	Optional default for payment methods
EPOINT_FAILED_REDIRECT_URL	Optional default for payment methods

language and currency are set once on the client and can be overridden per call.

Testing against the sandbox

There is a local sandbox that behaves like the real gateway, so you can build and test without a merchant account or real money:

client=EpointClient(
public_key="i000000001",
private_key="sandbox_private_key_0000000001",
base_url="http://localhost:8181",
)

See epoint-sandbox. Switching to production means changing base_url and the keys, nothing else.

Responses

Most methods return a Response. Read known fields as attributes, anything else through get or raw:

r=client.get_status("te0000000001")
r.status# "success", compares equal to Status.SUCCESSr.ok# Truer.get("rrn") # bank reference numberr.raw# the full response dict

create_payment, reserve, create_split_payment and the other checkout methods return redirect_url. get_installment_plans returns a list and list_wallets returns a dict.

Enums

Every value the API uses has an enum. They come from the sandbox's own definitions, so they match what production sends. Members are str subclasses, so they go over the wire unchanged and compare equal to the raw value; a plain string still works anywhere an enum is accepted.

fromepointimportCardStatus, Currency, EpointClient, Language, Statusclient=EpointClient.from_env(language=Language.EN, currency=Currency.USD)
status=client.get_status(transaction)
ifstatus.status==Status.SUCCESS:
fulfil(order_id)

Enum	Values
Status	new, success, failed, error, returned, server_error
CardStatus	new, active, pending, rejected, expired, session_expired
InvoiceStatus	waiting_for_payment, paid, canceled
B2BStatus	PENDING, PROCESSING, SUCCESS, FAILED
OperationCode	001 card registration, 100 payment, 200 registration with payment
Language	az, en, ru
Currency	AZN, USD, EUR, RUB

Currency is not uniform across the API. Checkout takes all four, but split, pre-auth, refund, reverse, payout and wallet take AZN and nothing else. SUPPORTED_CURRENCIES and AZN_ONLY hold those two sets.

SETTLED_STATUSES is what ok checks, and USABLE_CARD_STATUSES is the set a card has to be in before you can charge it.

Methods

Group	Methods
Checkout	create_payment, create_payment_request, create_amex_payment, change_payment_sum
Status	get_status, get_card_status, get_bank_transfer
Split	create_split_payment, split_charge_saved_card
Pre-auth	reserve, capture
Saved cards	register_card, register_card_and_pay, charge_saved_card
Money back	refund, reverse
Installments	get_installment_plans, pay_by_installment
Wallets	list_wallets, pay_with_wallet
Apple Pay, Google Pay	create_widget
Invoices	create_invoice, update_invoice, get_invoice, list_invoices, send_invoice_sms, send_invoice_email
B2B	create_bank_transfer, get_bank_transfer
Health	heartbeat

Errors

Exception	Raised when
GatewayError	epoint returned status: error or failed. Carries code, message, payload.
TransportError	Network failure, or a non-JSON or 4xx/5xx response
SignatureError	A callback's signature did not match, or its data would not decode

All three inherit from EpointError.

Signatures

Epoint signs with base64(sha1_raw(private_key + data + private_key)). The client builds and verifies these for you. The digest is the raw 20 bytes, not the hex string, which is where most hand-rolled integrations go wrong.
