Module: Receipt Generation

This module is designed to generate official digital receipts for transactions within a payment system. It provides essential tools for creating secure, customizable, and efficiently distributable receipts.

Customizable Templates

The module allows developers to create and customize receipt templates using predefined variables (e.g., amount, date). This flexibility ensures that receipts align with brand guidelines and provide necessary transaction details.

Digital Signing

Receipts are digitally signed to ensure authenticity and tamper-proofing. Developers can integrate secure signing mechanisms, such as cryptographic hashing, to validate receipts programmatically.

Integration Capabilities

The module supports seamless integration with external payment gateways and systems via APIs or hooks. This ensures that receipts are generated automatically post-transaction, maintaining a streamlined workflow.

Transaction History API

A dedicated API provides access to past transactions for tracking and reporting. Developers can retrieve data in formats suitable for their needs, enhancing record-keeping efficiency.

Download Options

Receipts can be downloaded in various formats like PDF or CSV. This caters to different user preferences and ensures compatibility across devices and platforms.

Multiple Formats Support

Support for multiple formats (PDF, XML) allows flexibility in how receipts are stored and transmitted, accommodating diverse system requirements.

Offline Functionality

Receipt generation works offline, enabling transactions even without internet access. Developers can implement local storage solutions to generate receipts and sync later.

Security Compliance

The module adheres to security standards, ensuring data protection and compliance with regulations like GDPR or PCI DSS. This is crucial for maintaining user trust and legal adherence.

Configuration Management

Administrative settings allow easy adjustments, such as changing default templates or signing keys. This empowers developers to adapt the module without extensive code changes.

Receipt Generation Module Documentation

Overview

The Receipt Generation module is designed to provide official digital receipts for every transaction. This module integrates seamlessly with payment systems to generate standardized receipt formats that can be downloaded or shared via email.

API Reference

FastAPI Endpoint

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from typing import Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel
import uuid

router = APIRouter(prefix="/receipts", tags=["receipts"])
 receipts are stored and can be retrieved by their unique ID.

## React UI Snippet
Here's a sample React component that demonstrates how to interact with the receipt generation API:

```javascript
import { useState } from 'react';

const ReceiptGenerator = () => {
  const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
    amount: '',
    description: '',
    customerName: '',
    email: ''
  });

  const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    try {
      const response = await fetch('/api/receipts', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(formData)
      });
      
      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error('Failed to generate receipt');
      }

      const data = await response.json();
      console.log('Receipt generated:', data.receiptUrl);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error:', error);
    }
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <div>
        <label>Amount:</label>
        <input
          type="number"
          value={formData.amount}
          onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, amount: e.target.value})}
        />
      </div>
      <div>
        <label>Description:</label>
        <input
          type="text"
          value={formData.description}
          onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, description: e.target.value})}
        />
      </div>
      <div>
        <label>Customer Name:</label>
        <input
          type="text"
          value={formData.customerName}
          onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, customerName: e.target.value})}
        />
      </div>
      <div>
        <label>Email:</label>
        <input
          type="email"
          value={formData.email}
          onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, email: e.target.value})}
        />
      </div>
      <button type="submit">Generate Receipt</button>
    </form>
  );
};

export default ReceiptGenerator;

Data Schema (Pydantic)

from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import Optional

class ReceiptCreate(BaseModel):
    amount: float
    description: str
    customer_name: str
    email: str
    transaction_id: Optional[str] = None
    include_vat: bool = False

    class Config:
        orm_mode = True

Summary

The Receipt Generation module provides a robust API for creating and managing digital receipts. The FastAPI endpoint handles receipt generation, while the React component demonstrates how to integrate with the API in a user-friendly way. The Pydantic model ensures data consistency and validation.
