Documentation

Procuret .NET offers a library of classes that map to services provided by the Procuret API.

Session

Sessions are the means of authenticating requests to the Procuret API. All requests to Procuret API, save for those creating Sessions themselves, require a Session.

In Procuret .NET, the Session class will handle all authentication for you. For example, it will compute the SHA256 signature that must be included in your HTTP headers.

Initialiser

Parameters

1. String apiKey
2. ulong sessionId

Example Initialisation

Session session = Session(
    apiKey: "your_api_key",
    sessionId: 441121225 // Your Session ID
)

struct InstalmentLink

InstalmentLink facilitates the creation of customised links to the Procuret Instalment Product (PIP). PIP allows a customer Business to pay for a purchase over time, while you the Supplier are paid upfront.

When you create an InstalmentLink, you can ask Procuret to send an email to the customer Business on your behalf.

To create a new InstalmentLink, call InstalmentLink.Create(). .Create() operates asynchronously, so use the await keyword to initalise the link into a variable.

Properties

1. String PublicId - unique ID of this InstalmentLink
2. EntityHeadline Supplier - the Supplier to which the link applies
3. Decimal InvoiceAmount - the amount the link attempts to transact
4. String InvoiceIdentifier - the identifier of the invoice
5. String InviteeEmail - the email address associated with the link

Methods

static async Task<InstalmentLink>.Create(...)

Parameters

1. Int64 supplierId - Your unique Supplier ID
2. String customerEmail - The email of the customer to whom a Procuret payment invitation email should be sent.
3. String invoiceIdentifier - Your invoice identifier. E.g. "INV-001"
4. Decimal invoiceValue - The amount payable by the customer
5. CommunicationOption communication - Instance of CommunicationOption enumeration
6. Session session - The Session to use when authenticating your request

Example Usage

var link = await InstalmentLink.Create(
    supplierId: 589121125121,
    customerEmail: "[email protected]",
    invoiceIdentifier: "INV-001",
    invoiceValue: Convert.ToDecimal("422.22"),
    communciation: CommunicationOption.NotifyCustomer,
    session: session // See Session create example above
)
