Verified wallet payments for Flutter, with the Esaalat hosted checkout. One branded button starts a checkout, shows the portal in a WebView, and reports the outcome to the callback you care about — same option names, status strings and error codes as esaalat-react on the web.

  • One widget. The button owns the client, the full-screen route and result routing.
  • Native result channel. The portal posts its result straight to the WebView, with polling as the fallback.
  • On-brand by default. A self-contained vector lockup, Arabic and English, in dark, light or gold, with an optional custom label.
  • Server-created sessions. Pass sessionToken to lock the amount on your server.
  • Reduced motion respected. The lockup intro renders its final frame when the platform asks for less motion.
EsaalatCheckoutButton(
  publishableKey: 'pk_live_...', // Dashboard → API Keys
  amount: '5000.00',
  externalOrderId: order.id,
  onVerified: (result) => markOrderPaid(order.id, result.intentCode),
  onCancelled: (_) => setStatus('cancelled'),
  onWrongAmount: (result) => setStatus('paid ${result.paidAmount}'),
)

That is the whole integration: the button creates the session, pushes the full-screen checkout route, locks itself while the checkout is open, and routes the terminal result to exactly one of onVerified, onCancelled, onWrongAmount, onExpired or onFailed. Only a checkout that cannot start goes to onError.

Install

flutter pub add esaalat

Android needs the android.permission.INTERNET permission (any app that talks to an API already declares it). The package uses webview_flutter and flutter_svg; see webview_flutter's platform requirements (Android 5.0+, iOS 12+).

The button

EsaalatCheckoutButton renders the Esaalat lockup on the brand button — "Pay with Esaalat" / «ادفع عبر إيصالات» — and needs no client or route management in your app. The default lockup is one self-contained vector artwork rendered with flutter_svg: the lead and wordmark are SVG paths, so no image asset or host font is involved. Its wordmark starts centred and slides aside as the lead fades in; the platform's reduced-motion setting renders the final frame without animating.

The button uses a crisp 4px corner by default. Pass radius: 2 for sharper corners or radius: 0 for square corners.

variant picks the surface: CheckoutButtonVariant.dark (the default) is black with a white lockup, .light is white with a black lockup for a dark page, and .gold is the brand's gold (#f5d80e) with a black lockup for a high-visibility call to action. The lockup is recolored for each surface; a custom label takes the same contrasting colour.

EsaalatCheckoutButton(
  publishableKey: 'pk_live_...',
  amount: '5000.00',
  externalOrderId: order.id,
  onVerified: (result) => setState(() => _result = result),
)

Props

Prop Type Notes
publishableKey String Required to create a session; omit it when sessionToken is used. Safe to embed.
amount String? Order total. Required unless items or sessionToken is used.
items List<CheckoutItem> Order lines; when present they determine the amount.
currency String? Defaults to YER server-side.
externalOrderId String? Your order reference, echoed back in the result.
notes String? Internal merchant notes.
wallet String? Optional preselected receiving wallet id.
showTestingWallet bool Also offer the account's dedicated testing wallet, when it is enabled and monitored. Defaults to false; ignored with sessionToken.
locale EsaalatLocale Portal language. Defaults to Arabic.
sessionToken / portalUrl String? Open a session created by your server. Takes precedence over amount / items.
idempotencyKey String? Stable retry key; generated per checkout when omitted.
simulateResult CheckoutSimulation? Demo-only outcome for keys that allow simulation.
apiBaseUrl String Override for sandbox/local.
portalBaseUrl String Portal origin when the API returns no portal_url.
label String? Replaces the branded lockup with your own text.
radius double Corner radius in logical pixels. Defaults to 4; 0 gives square corners.
variant CheckoutButtonVariant dark (default) is black with the lockup in white; light is white with the lockup in black; gold is the brand gold with the lockup in black.
enabled bool Lock the button. It is also locked automatically while its checkout is open.

Callbacks

Exactly one result callback runs per outcome — the status of the checkout result decides which, so there is nothing to switch on:

Callback Fires when
onVerified A wallet alert matched the payment.
onCancelled The buyer dismissed the checkout, or the intent was cancelled.
onWrongAmount A payment matched for a different amount; read result.paidAmount.
onExpired The buyer ran out of time.
onFailed The portal could not load a valid session.
onError The checkout could not start (EsaalatCheckoutError with a code).

Every result callback receives a CheckoutResult; the status table is below.

A result is not a licence to fulfil. Confirm the order with the signed payment.verified webhook, or GET /api/v1/merchant/intents/{id}/, on your server before shipping anything.

Lock the amount on your server

The publishable key can start a session with any amount because the amount lives in the app. If it must be authoritative, create the session from your server with the client JWT and hand only its token to the app:

POST /api/v1/checkout/merchant/sessions/
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
Content-Type: application/json

{"amount": "5000.00", "external_order_id": "order-123"}

Then let the button open it — no key is needed for that path:

EsaalatCheckoutButton(
  sessionToken: session.sessionToken,
  portalUrl: session.portalUrl, // optional; the SDK builds it if omitted
  onVerified: onVerified,
)

The token is a capability: do not log it, and give it only to the buyer who is paying that order.

Imperative client

When the button's layout or lifecycle does not fit (a custom row, a checkout started from a deep link, a bottom-sheet trigger), use the client directly. It is the same checkout the button drives; only the wiring is yours.

final checkout = EsaalatCheckout(publishableKey: 'pk_live_...');

final result = await checkout.open(
  context, // used to push the checkout route
  amount: '5000.00',
  currency: 'YER',
  externalOrderId: 'order-123',
);

if (result.isVerified) {
  // Show the buyer a success state. Confirm the order server-side first.
}

open() needs a mounted BuildContext and pushes a full-screen route. The future completes when the route closes; if the buyer closes it, the result is cancelled / dismissed. Call checkout.dispose() from the owning widget's dispose().

Constructor

Option Default Notes
publishableKey '' Required to create a session; optional when every open() passes sessionToken. Safe to embed: it can only create sessions.
locale EsaalatLocale.ar Portal language.
apiBaseUrl https://api.esaalat.com/api/v1 Override for sandbox/local.
portalBaseUrl https://esaalat.com Fallback only; the API's portal_url wins.
httpClient http.Client() Custom transport (tests, proxies).
dispose() — Releases the SDK's HTTP client.

open() options

Option Notes
amount Order total (whole-number string). Required unless items or sessionToken is used.
items List<CheckoutItem>; determines the amount.
currency Defaults to YER server-side.
externalOrderId Your order reference, echoed back in the result.
notes Internal merchant notes.
wallet Optional preselected receiving wallet id.
showTestingWallet Also offer the account's dedicated testing wallet, when it is enabled and monitored. Defaults to false.
sessionToken Open a server-created session instead of creating one.
portalUrl Portal URL for that session (optional; the SDK builds it).
idempotencyKey Stable retry key; generated per call when omitted.
locale Overrides the client locale for this checkout.
simulateResult Demo-only outcome; refused unless the key allows simulation.
pollInterval Fallback polling cadence. Defaults to 4 seconds.

Session creation, timeout and API failures throw EsaalatCheckoutError with a code of configuration, network, api, session, unavailable or aborted; a checkout that starts but ends badly is a result, not an exception.

Result

status Meaning
CheckoutResultStatus.verified A wallet alert matched the order and the amount was verified.
CheckoutResultStatus.wrongAmount A payment matched but the amount differs; paidAmount says what arrived.
CheckoutResultStatus.expired The buyer did not finish before the payment window closed.
CheckoutResultStatus.cancelled The buyer closed the checkout, or the intent was cancelled.
CheckoutResultStatus.failed The portal could not load a valid session.

reason carries the web SDK's reasons (dismissed, intent_cancelled, session_expired, session_not_found, network_error, ...).

How the WebView is resolved

The portal is loaded top-level, exactly as a standalone visitor sees it. The portal posts its terminal result to the EsaalatNativeBridge JS channel this SDK registers, so the route closes as soon as the payment is matched. It also polls GET /checkout/public/sessions/{token} with the portal's own result mapping as the fallback, for a page reload or a missed message.

The route closes after a verified payment (1.8 s, so the buyer sees the success screen) or immediately for other terminal states. Network hiccups while polling are ignored; a session the backend does not know settles as failed / session_not_found. The wire contract is shared by every Esaalat SDK; see the Flutter guide for the full behaviour.

The merchant's Website, WhatsApp and Email links open outside the checkout. The portal hands the URL to the EsaalatNativeBridge channel and the SDK opens it with url_launcher (the OS browser, WhatsApp or mail app) instead of replacing the checkout page. A navigation to a web page outside the portal is intercepted the same way.

Local development

Start the Esaalat API and portal locally, with the checkout links pointing at an address the device can reach (10.0.2.2 is the host from the Android emulator):

FRONTEND_URL=http://10.0.2.2:3000
EsaalatCheckoutButton(
  publishableKey: 'pk_...',
  amount: '5000.00',
  apiBaseUrl: 'http://10.0.2.2:8000/api/v1', // Android emulator
  portalBaseUrl: 'http://10.0.2.2:3000',
  onVerified: onVerified,
)

Cleartext HTTP is blocked by default on Android 9+; enable it for the debug build (android:usesCleartextTraffic="true") or run the API behind HTTPS.

Demo mode

simulateResult asks the backend to resolve the session with a chosen outcome (verified, underpaid, overpaid, cancelled, expired) as soon as a wallet is selected. It only works for publishable keys whose client has allow_checkout_simulation enabled — a normal production key cannot create a simulated session. It is an open() option; the imperative client is where it belongs.

Example

See example/ for a complete app with an amount field and a result card built on the button. Generate its platform folders once with flutter create . inside example/, then run it with your publishable key:

cd example
flutter create . --platforms=android,ios
flutter run --dart-define=ESAALAT_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=pk_...
