Fundamentally this is a library for writing API wrappers.
With it I have wrapped 3 API's (BTCPay, Paypal, Stripe) and have included Coinpayments separately because I have no plans to integrate it into Lisp-pays core system.
I have removed all *parse-as* all global variables except *processor*, everything is now configured using a specific object for each library which is bound to *processor* for each package.
Everything is automatically parsed as a hash-table using Shasht.
This default behaviour can be changed by specializing the Generic function
(defmethod %read-json (processor stream-or-string)
(shasht:read-json stream-or-string))But if you do that something will probably break so you will have to fix that yourself.
Writing is done using Shasht:
(defmethod %write-json (processor obj &optional stream)
(shasht:write-json obj stream))These are in src/helpers.lisp
Every processor has the exported symbol *processor* which is bound to an instance
of a subclass of processor. Paypal, Stripe, and BTCPay all have their own versions,
so you can set
(setf lisp-pay:*processor* (make-instance 'stripe:stripe \<initargs\>))And then your version with your keys will be used when evaluating call-api
The Processor class only has 1 useful slot by default which is base-url
The sublcasses of Processor exist in each of the payment processors respective packages and contain the following slots:
- api-key
- api-version (This should remain as default)
- base-url
- base-url (This should remain as default unless using sandbox)
- secret-id
- token (bound with #'get-token <processor>)
- client-id
- api-key
- base-url
Unless stated otherwise these are set by you as a means of configuration.
Every payment processor that is supported requires a HTTP route to be configured on your system which is accessible by the payment processor. By default hunchentoot and lack (and systems that use lack) is supported (it is trivial to add other servers.)
All webhook verification is done with a generic function called #'verify-webhook but there is a different version of this exported by each payment processors package.
- btcpay:verify-webhook
- stripe:verify-webhook
- paypal:verify-webhook
The REQUEST argument to these can be either a tbnl:request object or a lack.request:request object.
Each of these generic functions return two values,
- a boolean telling you whether the webhook is valid.
- the raw content of the request.
Here is an example:
(setf (ningle/app:route *app* "/webhooks/btcpayreceive"
:method :post)
(lambda (params)
(declare (ignorable params))
(multiple-value-bind (validp raw)
(btcpay:verify-webhook *btcpay-webhook-secret* ningle:*request*)
(if validp
"t"
"nil"))))Making a request is simple, you make an instance of the api call you want to make
(make-instance 'stripe:webhooks%create :content content)And then you execute
(pay:call-api *)You can find the full list of supported API endpoints in src/PROCESSOR/PROCESSOR.lisp
By default all content you want sent as your HTTP Request body is put into the slot content
This is then encoded into a JSON object for most processors:
Here is a complex example:
(make-instance 'paypal:orders%create
:content
(list :|intent| "CAPTURE"
:|application_context|
(list :|return_url|
"reeeeeeee.com/iwon"
:|cancel_url|
"reeeeeeee.com/ifailed"
:|payment_method|
(list :|payee_preferred|
"IMMEDIATE_PAYMENT_REQUIRED"))
:|purchase_units|
(list (list :|custom_id|
"abcdef"
:|amount|
(list :|currency_code|
"GBP"
:|value|
"10.99")))))
As long as the :content is converted to the correct JSON object then it doesn't matter how you generate it.
To use plists as object in shasht you need the following:
(setf shasht:*write-plist-as-object* t)
#<LISP-PAY/PAYPAL:ORDERS%CREATE
REQUEST-FUN: POST
CONTENT-TYPE: application/json
CONTENT:
{
"intent": "CAPTURE",
"application_context": {
"return_url": "reeeeeeee.com/iwon",
"cancel_url": "reeeeeeee.com/ifailed",
"payment_method": {
"payee_preferred": "IMMEDIATE_PAYMENT_REQUIRED"
}
},
"purchase_units": [
{
"custom_id": "abcdef",
"amount": {
"currency_code": "GBP",
"value": "10.99"
}
}
]
}
{100802006B}>Query parameters are slots within the object, just set them and the ones that are bound will be encoded and added onto the end of the URL.
Path parameters are slots within the request object, just set the slots and they will be automatically encoded into the URL.
Every response from the API is made into an instance of a subclass of api-response-class
- information-response
- successful-response
- redirection-response
or if it is a HTTP condition like a 404 a subclass of the condition api-response-condition
- client-error-response
- server-error-response
- unknown-error-response
If the response is converted into a condition, the condition is then signalled.
Before it is signalled a special object is created which is a subclass of api-failure
As an example paypals version of this has the slots
- status-text
- message
- name
These slots are occupied with information taken from the error response from the API.
See src/PROCESSOR/conditions.lisp for the others.
To receives the body of a response (ie the useful information) use #'body
Easy macro for lexically binding the value of lisp-pay:*processor* on a per use
basis. e.g:
(defmacro with-established-processor-bindings ((processor-key processor-object way)
&body body)
(%establish-processor-bindings processor-key processor-object way body))
(defgeneric %establish-processor-bindings (processor object way body)
(:documentation "Use keyword arguments to determine the correct let bindings
for a PROCESSOR, processor being the keyword version."))
(defmethod %establish-processor-bindings ((processor (eql :stripe)) object way body)
`(let ((lisp-pay:*processor* ,object))
(declare (special lisp-pay:*processor*))
(locally ,@body)))And then
(defmethod create-webhook ((processor stripe) client &rest args)
(with-established-processor-bindings (:stripe processor :default)
(destructuring-bind (&key description events url &allow-other-keys)
args
(let* ((content
(stripe:ec
`(("description". ,description)
("url" . ,url)
(:array "enabled_events"
,events))))
(call (make-instance 'stripe:webhooks%create :content content))
(res (pay:call-api call)))
res))))This is you can write one yourself.
First bind lisp-pay:*processor* to your instance of paypal:paypal
Then call (get-token <my-processor>).
Now you have your token you can make requests.

This is a an implementation of the Stripe API.
Currently have wrapped the section Core Resources and under Products the products, prices and shipping then, under Checkout the sessions and finally under Webhooks the webhooks.

("images[0][colour]" . "brown") ("fur" . "fluffy") ("colour" . "brown"))It accepts an arbitrary number of lists and appends them together. The DSL means you can create an alist that will correctly format as a form-url encoded string, this is annoying but its how Stripe handles requests...
Supports nested arrays although I've never tested it.

BTCPay has been fully integrated into Lisp Pay.
The BTCPay processor object has an API key slot and you must set the base-url.
First bind lisp-pay:*processor* to your instance of btcpay:btcpay

{100802000B}>LISP-PAY>(call-api *)This has not been integrated into lisp-pay and I have no plans to do it. I suggest you use your own version of BTCPayserver instead.
This is simply a helper library for using working with the original version of the coinpayment.net API, there is a new version of the API in the works.
The coinpayment IPN (Instant Payment Notification) system sends messages to a listening server to inform the server of activity within their coinpayment account, whether this is to inform the user of a processed payment, whether a payment has failed etc. You can see the current docs on IPN's here: https://www.coinpayments.net/merchant-tools-ipn this library just helps with managing the IPN's you receive.
The post data sent from the coinpayment server is formatted in snake case ie
i_am_a_variable but when you convert the data into a plist representing an IPN,
all the snake_case keys are converted to kebab case ie i-am-a-variable, so
ipn_type would be the keyword :IPN-TYPE. Parsing is memoized so it should be
pretty fast.
This section is talking about the IPN's, the next is about API calls.
There is a generic function called (parse-data data) which accepts a list, a string or an
array, with this it attempts to convert it to a PLIST.

The status objects rules are described here: https://www.coinpayments.net/merchant-tools-ipn Under the heading 'Payment Statuses'. If the status cannot be determined (which probably means the request is bogus) the condition 'unknown-status is signalled.
If you look in classes.lisp you can see the relationship between the status objects, CLOS is used to represent the relationship described in those docs, so the class one-hundred is a subclass of ipn-payment-success and ipn-payment-success is a subclass of ipn-status etc, this is important for the next part.
This library has a means of creating functions that are executed based on the name of the dispatcher, the type of IPN sent from the server and the two main args the class of the STATUS object and the number of arguments. This is best demonstrated with an example:
(def-ipn-dispatcher print-info ((foo :transfer) (ipn ipn-status) arg1)
(print foo)
(print ipn)
(print "less specific")
(print arg1))
(def-ipn-dispatcher print-info ((foo :transfer) (ipn ipn-status) arg1 arg2)
(print foo)
(print ipn)
(print "less specific")
(print arg1)
(print arg2))
(def-ipn-dispatcher print-info ((foo :transfer) (ipn two) arg1)
(print foo)
(print ipn)
(print "more specific"))
(def-ipn-dispatcher print-info ((foo :transfer) (ipn two) arg1 arg2)
(print arg1)
(print arg2))
Some example inputs using the function (ipn-dispatch name ipn status args)
CL-COINPAYMENTS> (ipn-dispatch 'print-info '(:IPN-TYPE "transfer") (make-instance 'zero) "abc")

"deeef"
CL-COINPAYMENTS> (ipn-dispatch 'print-info '(:IPN-TYPE "transfer") (make-instance 'two) "abc" "deeef")
"abc"
"deeef"
"deeef"
I assume you get the jist. Anyway you can use this to perform actions based the same types
of IPN's but when they are in varying states.
There is the macro (dispatch-ipn-by-name name ipn status args) which does the same
CL-COINPAYMENTS> (dispatch-ipn-by-name print-info '(:IPN-TYPE "transfer") (make-instance 'ipn-status) "abc" "def")
(:IPN-TYPE "transfer")
#<IPN-STATUS {1025E8F173}>
"less specific"
"abc"
"def"
"def"If a dispatcher cannot be found for the args provided then the condition 'no-dispatcher-found is signalled, you should wrap all calls to dispatch-ipn and dispatch-ipn-by-name within a handler-case to make sure you have some fallback functionality in the case the server sends something unexpected, which it has done for me...
Just a note the list '(:IPN-TYPE "transfer") is the most basic of IPN's represented as a plist that is required for this to function, this is why it is used in the examples, in a real world example the IPN would be what has been received and parsed by (parse-data ..)
In cl-coinpayments API requests are all represented by objects, so if you wish to make
an API call you instantiate an object of the request type, pass in the correct arguments
as initargs and then call the method (request <instance>) on it. Its important to note
that the :merchant-secret-key initarg is the special key YOU gave to coinpayments as your
secret, not the API secret automatically generated and :key is your API public key.

[ ] RESULT-SLOT = NILAll of the values returned by dex:post that are not directly used are stored in DEX-EXTRA, RESULT-SLOT contains any parsed results, ERROR-SLOT will either be 'ok' or a descriptive string, and REQUEST is the object used to send the request.
All requests inherit their slots from the toplevel class 'request, currently
the nonce is not used but if you wanted to use it you can, if you set the value to an
integer represented as a string then it will also be added into the post params and the HMAC.
The same goes for if you modify any of the slots that are used for storing values
which are later used in the post request. You could change FORMAT to XML, however
that would probably break (request ..) so maybe dont do that.
Each request within the docs https://www.coinpayments.net/apidoc-intro has its own class and they are all listed in api-forms.lisp. If you try to make a request object without providing 'required' arguments then you will get an error of type `'required-slots-not-bound'

; Evaluation aborted on #<REQUIRED-SLOTS-NOT-BOUND {1002506873}>I think that all of the API calls will work except maybe create-mass-withdrawal which
I have not tested but it has some odd characteristics, so dont rely on it to work.
If you do test it and find it doesn't work just open an issue and I'll fix it.
