[](#usage)

### Basic Order Creation

[](#basic-order-creation)

```
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\SteadFast;
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\DTO\OrderRequest;

$steadfast = new SteadFast();

// Basic order
$order = new OrderRequest(
    invoice: 'INV-2025-001',
    recipient_name: 'John Doe',
    recipient_phone: '01712345678',
    recipient_address: 'House 1, Road 2, Dhanmondi, Dhaka-1209',
    cod_amount: 1500.00,
    note: 'Handle with care'
);

$response = $steadfast->createOrder($order);
echo "Order created! Tracking: " . $response->getTrackingCode();
```

### Advanced Order Creation

[](#advanced-order-creation)

```
// Order with all optional fields
$order = new OrderRequest(
    invoice: 'INV-2025-001',
    recipient_name: 'John Doe',
    recipient_phone: '01712345678',
    recipient_address: 'House 1, Road 2, Dhanmondi, Dhaka-1209',
    cod_amount: 1500.00,
    alternative_phone: '01987654321',        // NEW: Alternative phone
    recipient_email: 'john@example.com',     // NEW: Email address
    note: 'Deliver between 10 AM - 2 PM',
    item_description: 'Electronics items',   // NEW: Item description
    total_lot: 2,                           // NEW: Total items
    delivery_type: 0                        // NEW: 0=home, 1=point delivery
);

$response = $steadfast->createOrder($order);
```

### Using Facade

[](#using-facade)

```
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\Facades\SteadFast;

// Check balance
$balance = SteadFast::getBalance();
echo $balance->getFormattedBalance(); // "1,500.00 BDT"

// Create order
$response = SteadFast::createOrder($order);
```

### Bulk Order Processing

[](#bulk-order-processing)

```
// Create multiple orders
$orders = [
    new OrderRequest('INV-001', 'John Doe', '01712345678', 'Address 1', 1000),
    new OrderRequest('INV-002', 'Jane Smith', '01787654321', 'Address 2', 1500),
    OrderRequest::fromArray([
        'invoice' => 'INV-003',
        'recipient_name' => 'Bob Wilson',
        'recipient_phone' => '01611111111',
        'recipient_address' => 'Address 3',
        'cod_amount' => 2000,
        'delivery_type' => 1, // Point delivery
    ]),
];

// Process in background queue (recommended for large batches)
$response = $steadfast->bulkCreate($orders, true);
echo "Queued {$response->order_count} orders for processing";

// Process immediately (for small batches)
$response = $steadfast->bulkCreate($orders, false);
echo "Success rate: {$response->getSuccessRate()}%";
echo "Successful orders: {$response->success_count}";
echo "Failed orders: {$response->error_count}";
```

### Order Status Tracking

[](#order-status-tracking)

```
// Multiple ways to track orders
$status = $steadfast->checkStatusByTrackingCode('ABC123XYZ');
$status = $steadfast->checkStatusByInvoice('INV-001');
$status = $steadfast->checkStatusByConsignmentId(12345);

// Rich status information
echo "Status: " . $status->delivery_status;
echo "Description: " . $status->getStatusDescription();

// Status checking methods
if ($status->isDelivered()) {
    echo "Order delivered successfully!";
} elseif ($status->isCancelled()) {
    echo "Order was cancelled";
} elseif ($status->isPending()) {
    echo "Order is still being processed";
} elseif ($status->isOnHold()) {
    echo "Order is on hold";
}
```

### Return Requests (NEW Feature)

[](#return-requests-new-feature)

```
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\DTO\ReturnRequest;

// Create return request by invoice
$returnRequest = ReturnRequest::byInvoice('INV-001', 'Customer requested return');
$response = $steadfast->createReturnRequest($returnRequest);

// Create return request by consignment ID
$returnRequest = ReturnRequest::byConsignmentId(12345, 'Damaged item');
$response = $steadfast->createReturnRequest($returnRequest);

// Create return request by tracking code
$returnRequest = ReturnRequest::byTrackingCode('ABC123', 'Wrong item delivered');
$response = $steadfast->createReturnRequest($returnRequest);

// Get single return request
$returnRequest = $steadfast->getReturnRequest(123);
echo "Status: " . $returnRequest->getStatusDescription();

// Check return status
if ($returnRequest->isPending()) {
    echo "Return request is pending approval";
} elseif ($returnRequest->isCompleted()) {
    echo "Return has been completed";
}

// Get all return requests
$returnRequests = $steadfast->getReturnRequests();
foreach ($returnRequests as $request) {
    echo "Return ID: {$request->id}, Status: {$request->status}";
}
```

### Account Balance

[](#account-balance)

```
$balance = $steadfast->getBalance();

echo "Current Balance: " . $balance->getFormattedBalance();
echo "Raw Amount: " . $balance->current_balance;

if ($balance->isSuccessful()) {
    echo "Balance retrieved successfully";
}
```

### Fraud Checker (NEW Feature)

[](#fraud-checker-new-feature)

Check customer reliability by analyzing their order history. This feature uses web scraping to access the Steadfast merchant panel and retrieve fraud statistics.

#### Configuration

[](#configuration-1)

First, enable and configure fraud checking in your `.env`:

```
# Enable fraud checker
STEADFAST_FRAUD_CHECKER_ENABLED=true
STEADFAST_FRAUD_CHECKER_EMAIL=your-merchant-email@example.com
STEADFAST_FRAUD_CHECKER_PASSWORD=your-merchant-password

# Optional: Configure risk thresholds (percentages)
STEADFAST_FRAUD_VERY_HIGH_THRESHOLD=75
STEADFAST_FRAUD_HIGH_THRESHOLD=50
STEADFAST_FRAUD_MEDIUM_THRESHOLD=25

# Optional: Enable caching for fraud checks
STEADFAST_FRAUD_CACHE_ENABLED=true
STEADFAST_FRAUD_CACHE_TTL=3600
```

#### Basic Usage

[](#basic-usage)

```
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\SteadFast;
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\Exceptions\SteadfastException;

$steadfast = new SteadFast();

try {
    // Check fraud status by phone number
    $fraudCheck = $steadfast->checkFraud('01712345678');

    // Get order statistics
    echo "Successful Orders: " . $fraudCheck->success;
    echo "Cancelled Orders: " . $fraudCheck->cancel;
    echo "Total Orders: " . $fraudCheck->total;

    // Get calculated rates
    echo "Success Rate: " . $fraudCheck->getSuccessRate() . "%";
    echo "Cancel Rate: " . $fraudCheck->getCancelRate() . "%";

    // Get risk assessment
    echo "Risk Level: " . $fraudCheck->getRiskLevel();        // 'none', 'low', 'medium', 'high', 'very_high'
    echo "Risk Description: " . $fraudCheck->getRiskDescription();

} catch (SteadfastException $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}
```

#### Advanced Usage

[](#advanced-usage)

```
// Check if customer is risky (default threshold: 50% cancellation rate)
if ($fraudCheck->isRisky()) {
    echo "High-risk customer detected!";
    // Require prepayment or decline order
}

// Use custom threshold
if ($fraudCheck->isRisky(threshold: 30)) {
    echo "Customer exceeds 30% cancellation rate";
}

// Make decisions based on risk level
match ($fraudCheck->getRiskLevel()) {
    'very_high' => $this->declineOrder($order),
    'high' => $this->requirePrepayment($order),
    'medium' => $this->assignToExperiencedCourier($order),
    'low' => $this->processNormally($order),
    'none' => $this->processWithPriority($order),
};

// Check if fraud check was successful
if ($fraudCheck->isSuccessful()) {
    echo "Fraud check completed successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error: " . $fraudCheck->error;
}
```

#### Real-World Example

[](#real-world-example)

```
public function validateCustomerBeforeOrder(string $phoneNumber, float $orderAmount)
{
    try {
        $fraudCheck = $this->steadfast->checkFraud($phoneNumber);

        // New customer (no order history)
        if ($fraudCheck->total === 0) {
            if ($orderAmount > 5000) {
                return [
                    'approved' => false,
                    'reason' => 'New customer with high-value order. Prepayment required.',
                    'require_prepayment' => true,
                ];
            }
            return ['approved' => true, 'note' => 'New customer'];
        }

        // Experienced customer with good track record
        if ($fraudCheck->getSuccessRate() >= 80) {
            return [
                'approved' => true,
                'note' => 'Trusted customer',
                'priority_processing' => true,
            ];
        }

        // High-risk customer
        if ($fraudCheck->isRisky(threshold: 40)) {
            return [
                'approved' => false,
                'reason' => "High cancellation rate: {$fraudCheck->getCancelRate()}%",
                'customer_stats' => [
                    'success' => $fraudCheck->success,
                    'cancel' => $fraudCheck->cancel,
                    'total' => $fraudCheck->total,
                ],
            ];
        }

        // Medium-risk customer
        return [
            'approved' => true,
            'note' => 'Medium risk - monitor closely',
            'send_confirmation' => true,
        ];

    } catch (SteadfastException $e) {
        // Log error and continue without fraud check
        Log::warning('Fraud check failed', [
            'phone' => $phoneNumber,
            'error' => $e->getMessage(),
        ]);

        return ['approved' => true, 'note' => 'Fraud check unavailable'];
    }
}
```

#### Understanding Risk Levels

[](#understanding-risk-levels)

The fraud checker automatically categorizes customers into risk levels:

Risk LevelCancel RateDescriptionRecommendation**Very High**≥ 75%Customer cancels most ordersConsider declining**High**50-74%High cancellation historyRequire prepayment**Medium**25-49%Moderate riskMonitor closely**Low**1-24%Occasional cancellationsSafe to proceed**None**0%New or perfect recordTrustworthy#### Phone Number Formats

[](#phone-number-formats)

The fraud checker automatically normalizes phone numbers. Accepted formats:

```
// Valid formats (automatically normalized):
$fraudCheck = $steadfast->checkFraud('01712345678');    // Standard format (preferred)
$fraudCheck = $steadfast->checkFraud('8801712345678');  // With country code 88
$fraudCheck = $steadfast->checkFraud('+8801712345678'); // International format
$fraudCheck = $steadfast->checkFraud('017 1234 5678');  // With spaces
$fraudCheck = $steadfast->checkFraud('017-1234-5678');  // With dashes

// Invalid formats (will throw exception):
// '1234567890'        - Too short
// '02171234567'       - Invalid prefix (must start with 01)
// '01212345678'       - Second digit must be 3-9
// '011234567890'      - Too long
```

**Valid Pattern:** Must be 11 digits starting with `01` followed by `3-9`, then 8 more digits.

**Examples of valid phone numbers:**

- `01712345678` (Grameenphone)
- `01812345678` (Robi)
- `01912345678` (Banglalink)
- `01612345678` (Airtel)
- `01512345678` (Teletalk)

#### Error Handling

[](#error-handling)

```
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\Exceptions\SteadfastException;

try {
    $fraudCheck = $steadfast->checkFraud($phoneNumber);
} catch (SteadfastException $e) {
    match ($e->getCode()) {
        500 => throw new Exception('Fraud checker not enabled or configured'),
        422 => throw new Exception('Invalid phone number format. Must be 01XXXXXXXXX (e.g., 01712345678)'),
        default => throw new Exception('Fraud check failed: ' . $e->getMessage())
    };
}
```

#### Performance Considerations

[](#performance-considerations)

1. **Caching**: Enable fraud check caching to avoid repeated web scraping:

    ```
    STEADFAST_FRAUD_CACHE_ENABLED=true
    STEADFAST_FRAUD_CACHE_TTL=3600  # Cache for 1 hour
    ```
2. **Async Processing**: For high-traffic applications, consider checking fraud status asynchronously:

    ```
    dispatch(function () use ($phoneNumber) {
        $fraudCheck = app(SteadFast::class)->checkFraud($phoneNumber);
        // Store results in database
        FraudCheck::updateOrCreate(
            ['phone_number' => $phoneNumber],
            $fraudCheck->toArray()
        );
    });
    ```
3. **Rate Limiting**: The fraud checker performs web scraping which is slower than API calls. Use wisely and implement caching.

Advanced Features
-----------------

[](#advanced-features)

### Event System (NEW)

[](#event-system-new)

Listen to bulk order events for monitoring and notifications:

```
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\Events\{BulkOrderStarted, BulkOrderCompleted, BulkOrderFailed};

// In your EventServiceProvider
Event::listen(BulkOrderStarted::class, function ($event) {
    Log::info("Bulk order processing started", [
        'order_count' => count($event->orders),
        'unique_id' => $event->uniqueId
    ]);
});

Event::listen(BulkOrderCompleted::class, function ($event) {
    // Send notification, update dashboard, etc.
    Log::info("Bulk order completed", [
        'success_count' => $event->response->success_count,
        'error_count' => $event->response->error_count,
        'success_rate' => $event->response->getSuccessRate()
    ]);
});

Event::listen(BulkOrderFailed::class, function ($event) {
    // Alert administrators, retry logic, etc.
    Log::error("Bulk order failed", [
        'error' => $event->exception->getMessage(),
        'order_count' => count($event->orders)
    ]);
});
```

### Caching (NEW)

[](#caching-new)

Enable intelligent caching for better performance:

```
// Enable caching in .env
STEADFAST_CACHE_ENABLED=true
STEADFAST_CACHE_TTL=300  // 5 minutes

// Clear cache when needed
$steadfast->clearCache(); // Clear all cache
$steadfast->clearCache('balance'); // Clear specific cache
```

### Advanced Error Handling

[](#advanced-error-handling)

```
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\Exceptions\SteadfastException;

try {
    $response = $steadfast->createOrder($order);
} catch (SteadfastException $e) {
    match ($e->getCode()) {
        401 => $this->handleAuthenticationError($e), // Invalid credentials
        422 => $this->handleValidationError($e),     // Validation failed
        429 => $this->handleRateLimit($e),           // Rate limit exceeded
        503 => $this->handleServiceDown($e),         // Service unavailable
        default => $this->handleGenericError($e)
    };
}

private function handleValidationError(SteadfastException $e)
{
    $errors = $e->getContext()['validation_errors'] ?? [];
    foreach ($errors as $field => $messages) {
        echo "Field $field: " . implode(', ', $messages);
    }
}

private function handleRateLimit(SteadfastException $e)
{
    $retryAfter = $e->getContext()['retry_after'] ?? 60;
    echo "Rate limit exceeded. Retry after $retryAfter seconds";
}
```

### Queue Configuration

[](#queue-configuration)

For better queue management, configure dedicated queues:

```
// config/queue.php
'connections' => [
    'steadfast' => [
        'driver' => 'database',
        'table' => 'jobs',
        'queue' => 'steadfast-orders',
        'retry_after' => 300,
        'block_for' => 0,
    ],
],

// In your .env
STEADFAST_QUEUE_CONNECTION=steadfast
STEADFAST_QUEUE_NAME=high-priority
```

Run dedicated workers:

```
php artisan queue:work steadfast --queue=high-priority,default
```

Artisan Commands
----------------

[](#artisan-commands)

### Test API Connection

[](#test-api-connection)

```
# Test your configuration
php artisan steadfast:test
```

This command will:

- Validate your API credentials
- Test API connectivity
- Check your current balance
- Verify configuration settings

### View Statistics

[](#view-statistics)

```
# View last 24 hours (default)
php artisan steadfast:stats

# View last 7 days
php artisan steadfast:stats --hours=168

# View last 30 days
php artisan steadfast:stats --hours=720
```

Sample output:

```

### Clean Up Old Logs

[](#clean-up-old-logs)

```
# Interactive cleanup
php artisan steadfast:cleanup

# Force cleanup without confirmation
php artisan steadfast:cleanup --force
```

Monitoring & Logging
------------------------

[](#monitoring--logging)

### Database Statistics

[](#database-statistics)

Query the logs table for insights:

```
use SabitAhmad\SteadFast\Models\SteadfastLog;

// Get recent errors
$errors = SteadfastLog::errors()->recent(24)->get();

// Get successful operations
$successful = SteadfastLog::successful()->recent(24)->get();

// Get bulk operations
$bulkOps = SteadfastLog::bulkOperations()->get();

// Get statistics
$stats = SteadfastLog::getStats(24); // Last 24 hours
```

### Log Scopes

[](#log-scopes)

The `SteadfastLog` model includes useful query scopes:

        // Validation errors
        $errors = $e->getContext()['validation_errors'];
        return response()->json(['errors' => $errors], 422);
    }

    if ($e->getCode() === 401) {
        // Invalid credentials - check API keys
        Log::error('Steadfast authentication failed', [
            'api_key' => substr(config('steadfast.api_key'), 0, 8) . '...'

    }

    if ($e->getCode() === 429) {
        // Rate limit - implement backoff strategy
        $retryAfter = $e->getContext()['retry_after'] ?? 60;
        return response()->json([
            'error' => 'Rate limit exceeded',
