💳 Paystack Plugin for Flutter #

pub package

A Flutter plugin for making payments via Paystack Payment Gateway. Completely supports Android and iOS.

🚀 Installation #

To use this plugin, add flutter_paystack as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Then initialize the plugin preferably in the initState of your widget.

import 'package:flutter_paystack/flutter_paystack.dart'

class _PaymentPageState extends State<PaymentPage> {
  var paystackPublicKey = '[YOUR_PAYSTACK_PUBLIC_KEY]';
  var paystackSecretKey = '[YOUR_PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY]';

  @override
  void initState() {
    PaystackPlugin.initialize(
            publicKey: paystackPublicKey, secretKey: paystackSecretKey);
    // secretKey is not needed if you're not using checkout as a payment method.
    //
  }
}

No other configuration required - the plugin works out of the box.

💲 Making Payments #

There are two ways of making payment with the plugin.

  1. Checkout: This is the easy way; as the plugin handles all the processes involved in making a payment.
  2. Charge Card: This is a longer approach; you handle all callbacks and UI states on your own.

You initialize a charge object with just an amount, email & accessCode or reference. Pass an accessCode only when you have initialized the transaction from your end otherwise, pass reference;

Except you want the user to use a preferred checkout method, pass a one of your choosing.

Charge charge = Charge()
      ..amount = 10000
      ..reference = _getReference()
       // or ..accessCode = _getAccessCodeFrmInitialization()
      ..email = 'customer@email.com';
    CheckoutResponse response = await PaystackPlugin.checkout(
      context,
      method: _method,
      charge: charge,
    );

PaystackPlugin.checkout() returns true for a successful payment otherwise, it returns false.

2. ⭐ Charge Card #

You can choose to initialize the payment locally or via Paystack's backend.

1.a. This starts by making a HTTP POST request to paystack.

1.b If everything goes well, the initialization request returns a response with an access_code. You can then create a Charge object with the access code and card details. The charge is in turn passed to the PaystackPlugin.chargeCard() function for payment:

  PaymentCard _getCardFromUI() {
    // Using just the must-required parameters.
    return PaymentCard(
      number: cardNumber,
      cvc: cvv,
      expiryMonth: expiryMonth,
      expiryYear: expiryYear,
    );

    // Using Cascade notation (similar to Java's builder pattern)
//    return PaymentCard(
//        number: cardNumber,
//        cvc: cvv,
//        expiryMonth: expiryMonth,
//        expiryYear: expiryYear)
//      ..name = 'Segun Chukwuma Adamu'
//      ..country = 'Nigeria'
//      ..addressLine1 = 'Ikeja, Lagos'
//      ..addressPostalCode = '100001';

    // Using optional parameters
//    return PaymentCard(
//        number: cardNumber,
//        cvc: cvv,
//        expiryMonth: expiryMonth,
//        expiryYear: expiryYear,
//        name: 'Ismail Adebola Emeka',
//        addressCountry: 'Nigeria',
//        addressLine1: '90, Nnebisi Road, Asaba, Deleta State');
  }

  _chargeCard(http.Response response) {
    Map<String, dynamic> responseBody = json.decode(response.body);
    var charge = Charge()
      ..accessCode = responseBody['access_code']
      ..card = _getCardFromUI();

    PaystackPlugin.chargeCard(context,
        charge: charge,
        beforeValidate: (transaction) => handleBeforeValidate(transaction),
        onSuccess: (transaction) => handleOnSuccess(transaction),
        onError: (error, transaction) => handleOnError(error, transaction));
  }

  handleBeforeValidate(Transaction transaction) {
    // This is called only before requesting OTP
    // Save reference so you may send to server if error occurs with OTP
  }

  handleOnError(Object e, Transaction transaction) {
    // If an access code has expired, simply ask your server for a new one
    // and restart the charge instead of displaying error
  }


  handleOnSuccess(Transaction transaction) {
    // This is called only after transaction is successful
  }

2. Initialize Locally

Just send the payment details to PaystackPlugin.chargeCard

      // Set transaction params directly in app (note that these params
      // are only used if an access_code is not set. In debug mode,
      // setting them after setting an access code would throw an error
      Charge charge = Charge();
      charge.card = _getCardFromUI();
      charge
        ..amount = 2000
        ..email = 'user@email.com'
        ..reference = _getReference()
        ..putCustomField('Charged From', 'Flutter PLUGIN');
      _chargeCard();

🔧 🔩 Validating Card Details #

You are expected but not required to build the UI for your users to enter their payment details. For easier validation, wrap the TextFormFields inside a Form widget. Please check this article on validating forms on Flutter if this is new to you.

NOTE: You don't have to pass a card object to Charge. The plugin will call-up a UI for the user to input their card.

You can validate the fields with these methods:

card.validNumber

This method helps to perform a check if the card number is valid.

card.validCVC

Method that checks if the card security code is valid.

card.validExpiryDate

Method checks if the expiry date (combination of year and month) is valid.

card.isValid

Method to check if the card is valid. Always do this check, before charging the card.

card.getType

This method returns an estimate of the string representation of the card type(issuer).

✔️ Verifying Transactions #

This is quite easy. Just send a HTTP GET request to https://api.paystack.co/transaction/verify/$[TRANSACTION_REFERENCE]. Please, check the official documentaion on verifying transactions.

🚁 Testing your implementation #

Paystack provides tons of payment cards for testing.
