====================
Merchant Backend API
====================

------------------
Receiving Payments
------------------

.. _post-order:

.. http:post:: /order

  Create a new order that a customer can pay for.

  This request is not idempotent unless an `order_id` is explicitly specified.

  .. note::

    This endpoint does not return a URL to redirect your user to confirm the payment.
    In order to get this URL use :http:get:`/check-payment`.  The API is structured this way
    since the payment redirect URL is not unique for every order, there might be varying parameters
    such as the session id.

  **Request:**

  The request must be a `PostOrderRequest`_.

  **Response**

  :status 200 OK:
    The backend has successfully created the proposal.  The response is a
    `PostOrderResponse`_.

  .. _PostOrderRequest:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface PostOrderRequest {
      // The order must at least contain the minimal
      // order detail, but can override all
      order: MinimalOrderDetail | ContractTerms;
    }

  The following fields of the `ContractTerms`_

  .. _MinimalOrderDetail:
  .. _tsref-type-MinimalOrderDetail:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface MinimalOrderRequest {
      // Amount to be paid by the customer
      amount: Amount

      // Short summary of the order
      summary: string;

      // URL that will show that the order was successful after
      // it has been paid for.  The wallet will always automatically append
      // the order_id as a query parameter.
      fulfillment_url: string;

      // Merchant instance to use (leave empty to use instance "default")
      instance?: string;
    }

  .. _PostOrderResponse:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface PostOrderResponse {
      // Order ID of the response that was just created
      order_id: string;
    }


.. http:get:: /check-payment

  Check the payment status of an order.  If the order exists but is not payed yet,
  the response provides a redirect URL.
  When the user goes to this URL, they will be prompted for payment.

  **Request:**

  :query order_id: order id that should be used for the payment
  :query instance: *Optional*. Instance used for the payment. Defaults to the instance with identifier "default".
  :query session_id: *Optional*. Session ID that the payment must be bound to.  If not specified, the payment is not session-bound.

  **Response:**

  Returns a `CheckPaymentResponse`_, whose format can differ based on the status of the payment.

  .. _CheckPaymentResponse:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    type CheckPaymentResponse = CheckPaymentPaidResponse | CheckPaymentUnpaidResponse

  .. _CheckPaymentPaidResponse:
  .. _tsref-type-CheckPaymentPaidResponse:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface CheckPaymentPaidResponse {
      paid: true;

      // Was the payment refunded (even partially)
      refunded: boolean;

      // Amount that was refunded
      refund_amount: Amount;

      // Contract terms
      contract_terms: ContractTerms;
    }

  .. _CheckPaymentUnpaidResponse:
  .. _tsref-type-CheckPaymentUnpaidResponse:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface CheckPaymentUnpaidResponse {
      paid: false;

      // URI that the wallet must process to complete the payment.
      taler_pay_uri: string;

    }


--------------
Giving Refunds
--------------


.. http:post:: /refund

  Increase the refund amount associated with a given order.  The user should be
  redirected to the `refund_redirect_url` to trigger refund processing in the wallet.

  **Request**

  The request body is a `RefundRequest`_ object.

  **Response**

  :status 200 OK:
    The refund amount has been increased, the backend responds with a `MerchantRefundResponse`_
  :status 400 Bad request:

Giving Customer Tips
--------------------


.. http:post:: /tip-authorize

  Authorize a tip that can be picked up by the customer's wallet by POSTing to
  `/tip-pickup`.  Note that this is simply the authorization step the back
  office has to trigger first.  The user should be navigated to the `tip_redirect_url`
  to trigger tip processing in the wallet.

  **Request**

  The request body is a `TipCreateRequest`_ object.

  **Response**

  :query exchange: base URL of the exchange that made the wire transfer
  :query instance: (optional) identificative token of the merchant `instance <https://docs.taler.net/operate-merchant.html#instances-lab>`_ which is being tracked.

  **Response:**

  :status 200 OK:
    The wire transfer is known to the exchange, details about it follow in the body.
    The body of the response is a `MerchantTrackTransferResponse`_.  Note that
    the similarity to the response given by the exchange for a /track/transfer
    is completely intended.

  :status 404 Not Found:
    The wire transfer identifier is unknown to the exchange.

  :status 424 Failed Dependency: The exchange provided conflicting information about the transfer. Namely,
    there is at least one deposit among the deposits aggregated by `wtid` that accounts for a coin whose
    details don't match the details stored in merchant's database about the same keyed coin.
    The response body contains the `TrackTransferConflictDetails`_.

    }


.. http:get:: /track/transaction

  Provide the wire transfer identifier associated with an (existing) deposit operation.

  **Request:**

  :query id: ID of the transaction we want to trace (an integer)
  :query instance:  merchant instance

  **Response:**

  :status 200 OK:
    The deposit has been executed by the exchange and we have a wire transfer identifier.
    The response body is a JSON array of `TransactionWireTransfer`_ objects.
  :status 202 Accepted:
    The deposit request has been accepted for processing, but was not yet
    executed.  Hence the exchange does not yet have a wire transfer identifier.
    The merchant should come back later and ask again.
    The response body is a :ref:`TrackTransactionAcceptedResponse <TrackTransactionAcceptedResponse>`.  Note that
    the similarity to the response given by the exchange for a /track/order
    is completely intended.
  :status 404 Not Found: The transaction is unknown to the backend.
  :status 424 Failed Dependency:
    The exchange previously claimed that a deposit was not included in a wire
    transfer, and now claims that it is.  This means that the exchange is
    dishonest.  The response contains the cryptographic proof that the exchange
    is misbehaving in the form of a `TransactionConflictProof`_.

  The wallet must select a exchange that either the mechant accepts directly by
  listing it in the exchanges arry, or for which the merchant accepts an auditor
  that audits that exchange by listing it in the auditors array.

  The `product` object describes the product being purchased from the merchant. It has the following structure:

  .. _Product:
  .. _tsref-type-Product:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface Product {
      // Human-readable product description.
      description: string;

      // The quantity of the product to deliver to the customer (optional, if applicable)
      quantity?: string;

      // The price of the product; this is the total price for the amount specified by `quantity`
      price: Amount;

      // merchant-internal identifier for the product
      product_id?: string;

      // a list of objects indicating a `taxname` and its amount. Again, italics denotes the object field's name.
      taxes?: any[];

      // time indicating when this product should be delivered
      delivery_date: Timestamp;

      // where to deliver this product. This may be an URL for online delivery
      // (i.e. `http://example.com/download` or `mailto:customer@example.com`),
      // or a location label defined inside the proposition's `locations`.
      // The presence of a colon (`:`) indicates the use of an URL.
      delivery_location: string;
    }

      // See `Merchant Instances <https://docs.taler.net/operate-merchant.html#instances-lab>`_.
      // This field is optional, as the "default" instance is not forced to provide any

-------------------
Customer-facing API
-------------------

The `/public/*` endpoints are publicly exposed on the internet and accessed
both by the user's browser and their wallet.


.. http:post:: /public/pay

  Pay for a proposal by giving a deposit permission for coins.  Typically used by
  the customer's wallet.  Can also be used in `abort-refund` mode to refund coins
  that were already deposited as part of a failed payment.

  **Request:**

  The request must be a :ref:`pay request <PayRequest>`.

  **Response:**

  :status 200 OK:
    The exchange accepted all of the coins. The body is a `PaymentResponse`_ if the request used the mode "pay", or a `MerchantRefundResponse`_ if the request used was the mode "abort-refund".
    The `frontend` should now fullfill the contract.
  :status 412 Precondition Failed:
    The given exchange is not acceptable for this merchant, as it is not in the
    list of accepted exchanges and not audited by an approved auditor.
  :status 401 Unauthorized:
    One of the coin signatures was not valid.
  :status 403 Forbidden:
    The exchange rejected the payment because a coin was already spent before.
    The response will include the `coin_pub` for which the payment failed,
    in addition to the response from the exchange to the `/deposit` request.

  The `backend` will return verbatim the error codes received from the exchange's
  :ref:`deposit <deposit>` API.  If the wallet made a mistake, like by
  double-spending for example, the `frontend` should pass the reply verbatim to
  the browser/wallet. This should be the expected case, as the `frontend`
  cannot really make mistakes; the only reasonable exception is if the
  `backend` is unavailable, in which case the customer might appreciate some
  reassurance that the merchant is working on getting his systems back online.

  .. _PaymentResponse:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface PaymentResponse {
      // Signature on `TALER_PaymentResponsePS`_ with the public
      // key of the instance in the proposal.
      sig: EddsaSignature;

      // Proposal data hash being signed over
      h_proposal_data: HashCode;

      // Proposal, send for convenience so the frontend
      // can do order processing without a second lookup on
      // a successful payment
      proposal: Proposal;
    }


  .. _tsref-type-Proposal:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface Proposal {
      // The proposal data, effectively the frontend's order with some data filled in
      // by the merchant backend.
      data: ProposalData;

      // Contract's hash, provided as a convenience.  All components that do
      // not fully trust the merchant must verify this field.
      H_proposal: HashCode;

      // Signature over the hashcode of `proposal` made by the merchant.
      merchant_sig: EddsaSignature;
    }


  .. _PayRequest:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface PayRequest {
      // Signature on `TALER_PaymentResponsePS`_ with the public
      // key of the instance in the proposal.
      sig: EddsaSignature;

      // Proposal data hash being signed over
      h_proposal_data: HashCode;

      // Proposal, send for convenience so the frontend
      // can do order processing without a second lookup on
      // a successful payment
      proposal: Proposal;

      // Coins with signature.
      coins: CoinPaySig[];

      // The merchant public key, used to uniquely
      // identify the merchant instance.
      merchant_pub: string;

      // Order ID that's being payed for.
      order_id: string;

      // Mode for /pay ("pay" or "abort-refund")
      mode: "pay" | "abort-refund";
    }


.. http:get:: /public/proposal

  Retrieve and take ownership (via nonce) over a proposal.

  **Request**

  :query instance: the merchant instance issuing the request
  :query order_id: the order id whose refund situation is being queried
  :query nonce: the nonce for the proposal

  **Response**

  :status 200 OK:
    The backend has successfully retrieved the proposal.  It responds with a :ref:`proposal <proposal>`.

  :status 403 Forbidden:
    The frontend used the same order ID with different content in the order.


.. http:post:: /public/tip-pickup

  Handle request from wallet to pick up a tip.

  **Request**

  The request body is a `TipPickupRequest`_ object.

  **Response**

  :status 200 OK:
    A tip is being returned. The backend responds with a `TipResponse`_
  :status 401 Unauthorized:
    The tip amount requested exceeds the tip.
  :status 404 Not Found:
    The tip identifier is unknown.
  :status 409 Conflict:
    Some of the denomination key hashes of the request do not match those currently available from the exchange (hence there is a conflict between what the wallet requests and what the merchant believes the exchange can provide).

  .. _TipPickupRequest:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface TipPickupRequest {

      // Identifier of the tip.
      tip_id: HashCode;

      // List of planches the wallet wants to use for the tip
      planchets: PlanchetDetail[];
    }

    interface PlanchetDetail {
      // Hash of the denomination's public key (hashed to reduce
      // bandwidth consumption)
      denom_pub_hash: HashCode;

      // coin's blinded public key
      coin_ev: CoinEnvelope;

    }

  .. _TipResponse:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface TipResponse {
      // Public key of the reserve
      reserve_pub: EddsaPublicKey;

      // The order of the signatures matches the planchets list.
      reserve_sigs: EddsaSignature[];
    }


.. http:get:: /public/refund

  Pick up refunds for an order.

  **Request**

  :query instance: the merchant instance issuing the request
  :query order_id: the order id whose refund situation is being queried

  **Response**

  If case of success, an *array of* `RefundLookup`_ objects is returned.

  .. _RefundLookup:
  .. code-block:: tsref

    interface RefundLookup {

      // Coin from which the refund is going to be taken
      coin_pub: EddsaPublicKey;

      // Refund amount taken from coin_pub
      refund_amount: Amount;

      // Refund fee
      refund_fee: Amount;

      // Identificator of the refund
      rtransaction_id: number;

      // Merchant public key
      merchant_pub: EddsaPublicKey

      // Merchant signature of a TALER_RefundRequestPS object
      merchant_sig: EddsaSignature;
    }


.. http:get:: /public/trigger-pay

  Used to trigger processing of payments, refunds and tips in the browser.  The exact behavior
  can be dependent on the user's browser.
