The following examples will use the paylike constant defined below.

1import Paylike from 'meteor/jorgenvatle:paylike';
2
3// Passing your API key here is optional if you've got your API key defined in your Meteor Settings.
4const paylike = new Paylike('paylike-api-key');

Meteor settings format:

Apps

An app belongs to a merchant and is used to perform actions on the attached merchant. Your API key is regarded as an app.

Current app

1console.log(paylike.me);

Example output:

1{
2  "id": "5bbce49ed0dde36a097c3574",
3  "name": "Paylike Meteor Test App",
4  "created": "2018-10-09T17:26:10.187Z"
5}

Create app

This adds an app to the merchant your current API key (app) belongs to.

1const newApp = paylike.apps.create({
2    name: 'my-new-app' // Optional
3});

The Merchant object is responsible for a funding bank account as well as all of it's associated transactions. This is essentially a shop. It is important to note that all users and apps have complete access to their merchant. This includes inviting and removing users.

Current merchant

3console.log(merchant.name) // "My Online Shop"

Create a merchant

1const myMerchant = paylike.merchants.create({
2    name: 'Acme Commerce',
3    test: true,
4    currency: 'EUR',
5    email: 'john@example.com',
6    website: 'https://example.com',
7    descriptor: 'ACME',
8    company: {
9        country: 'RO'
10    }

9    transactionId: 'id-of-a-previous-transaction',  // required - Needs to be a valid transaction ID.
10    ...details,
11});
12
13// ... Or use a saved card:
14const cardTransaction = myMerchant.transactions.create({
15    cardId: 'card-id-goes-here',
16    ...details,
