Getting started

Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  ugpayments: ^0.0.1

Usage

Basic Setup with PesaPal

import 'package:ugpayments/ugpayments.dart';

// Create a PesaPal payment configuration
final config = PaymentConfig.pesaPalSandbox(
  consumerKey: 'your_pesapal_consumer_key',
  consumerSecret: 'your_consumer_secret',
  callbackUrl: 'https://your-app.com/payment-callback',
);

// Create a payment client
final client = PaymentClient(config);

PesaPal Payment Processing

// Create a payment request
final request = PaymentRequest(
  amount: 1000.0,
  currency: 'UGX',
  paymentMethod: 'PESAPAL',
  phoneNumber: '[phone]',
  email: '[e-mail]',
  description: 'Payment for services',
  merchantReference: 'ORDER-123',
  metadata: {
    'first_name': 'John',
    'last_name': 'Doe',
    'city': 'Kampala',
    'state': 'Central',
  },
);

// Process the payment
try {
  final response = await client.processPayment(request);

  if (response.isSuccessful) {
    print('Payment successful: ${response.transactionId}');
  } else if (response.isPending) {
    print('Payment pending. Redirect to: ${response.data?['redirect_url']}');
    // Open the redirect URL in a WebView or browser
  } else {
    print('Payment failed: ${response.message}');
  }
} catch (e) {
  print('Payment error: $e');
}

Using PesaPal Provider Directly

// Create PesaPal provider
final pesapalProvider = PesaPalProvider(config);

// Submit order
final response = await pesapalProvider.submitOrder(request);

// Check transaction status
final statusResponse = await pesapalProvider.getTransactionStatus(
  response.transactionId,
);

Mobile Money Payment (Legacy)

// Create a payment request
final request = PaymentRequest(
  amount: 1000.0,
  currency: 'UGX',
  paymentMethod: 'MOBILE_MONEY',
  phoneNumber: '[phone]',
  description: 'Payment for services',
);

// Process the payment
try {
  final response = await client.processPayment(request);

  if (response.isSuccessful) {
    print('Payment successful: ${response.transactionId}');
  } else {
    print('Payment failed: ${response.message}');
  }
} catch (e) {
  print('Payment error: $e');
}

Card Payment

final request = PaymentRequest(
  amount: 5000.0,
  currency: 'UGX',
  paymentMethod: 'CARD_PAYMENT',
  metadata: {
    'cardNumber': '4111111111111111',
    'expiryMonth': '12',
    'expiryYear': '2025',
    'cvv': '123',
  },
);

final response = await client.processPayment(request);

Bank Transfer

final request = PaymentRequest(
  amount: 10000.0,
  currency: 'UGX',
  paymentMethod: 'BANK_TRANSFER',
  metadata: {
    'bankName': 'STANBIC_BANK',
    'accountNumber': '1234567890',
  },
);

final response = await client.processPayment(request);

Validation

// Validate phone numbers
if (PaymentValidator.isValidUgandanPhoneNumber('[phone]')) {
  print('Valid phone number');
}

// Validate card numbers
if (PaymentValidator.isValidCardNumber('4111111111111111')) {
  print('Valid card number');
}

// Validate email addresses
if (PaymentValidator.isValidEmail('[e-mail]')) {
  print('Valid email');
}

Encryption

// Encrypt sensitive data
final encrypted = Encryption.encrypt('sensitive_data');
final decrypted = Encryption.decrypt(encrypted);

// Mask sensitive data for display
final maskedCard = Encryption.maskCardNumber('4111111111111111');
final maskedPhone = Encryption.maskPhoneNumber('[phone]');

PesaPal Integration Details

Simplified Authentication

The package now uses automatic token authentication. You only need to provide your consumer_key and consumer_secret - the package will automatically:

1. Fetch authentication tokens from PesaPal's /api/Auth/RequestToken endpoint
2. Cache tokens and reuse them until they expire
3. Automatically refresh tokens when needed
4. Handle all authentication headers for API requests

This eliminates the need for you to manually manage bearer tokens.

Configuration

// Sandbox environment
final config = PaymentConfig.pesaPalSandbox(
  consumerKey: 'your_consumer_key',
  consumerSecret: 'your_consumer_secret',
  callbackUrl: 'https://your-app.com/callback',
);

// Production environment
final config = PaymentConfig.pesaPalProduction(
  consumerKey: 'your_production_consumer_key',
  consumerSecret: 'your_production_consumer_secret',
  callbackUrl: 'https://your-app.com/callback',
);

API Endpoints

The package integrates with the following PesaPal API endpoints:

Sandbox Environment:

• Base URL: https://cybqa.pesapal.com/pesapalv3
• POST /api/Auth/RequestToken - Get authentication token
• POST /api/Transactions/SubmitOrderRequest - Submit payment order
• GET /api/Transactions/GetTransactionStatus - Get transaction status

Production Environment:

• Base URL: https://pay.pesapal.com/v3
• POST /api/Auth/RequestToken - Get authentication token
• POST /api/Transactions/SubmitOrderRequest - Submit payment order
• GET /api/Transactions/GetTransactionStatus - Get transaction status

Response Handling

final response = await client.processPayment(request);

// Check if payment is pending (requires redirect)
if (response.isPending) {
  final redirectUrl = response.data?['redirect_url'];
  // Open redirectUrl in WebView or browser
}

// Check transaction status later
final statusResponse = await client.getTransaction(response.transactionId);

Testing

Run the tests to ensure everything works correctly:

Additional information

Security Considerations

• Always use HTTPS in production
• Store API keys securely
• Never log sensitive payment data
• Use the provided encryption utilities for sensitive data
• Validate all input data before processing

Best Practices

• Always handle exceptions when processing payments
• Validate payment data before sending to the API
• Use appropriate payment methods for your use case
• Implement proper error handling and user feedback
• Test thoroughly in sandbox environment before going live
• Handle PesaPal redirect URLs properly in your UI
