Chapa Unofficial Flutter Package #
The chapa_unofficial package is a Flutter library that provides integration with the Chapa payment gateway. It offers a convenient way to initialize payments and verify payment status within Flutter applications.
Features #

Initialize payment process
Verify payment status
In-app payment integration (WebView)
Generate transaction reference

Installation #
Add the following line to your pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
chapa_unofficial: ^0.0.5

Device Compatibility #
While it is not mandatory, we advise minimizing the use of emulators when working with this package.Emulators may introduce unforeseen errors or discrepancies that can affect the package's performance and behavior.
Usage #
To use the chapa_unofficial package, follow these steps:

Import the package in your Dart file:


import 'package:chapa_unofficial/chapa_unofficial.dart';

Configure Chapa by calling the configure method with your private key:

Chapa.configure(privateKey: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY');
copied to clipboard
the best place to configure chapa is inside main method as an example shown below:

void main() {
// setup chapa
Chapa.configure(privateKey: "CHASECK_TEST-HlZh7Xo8vNvT2jm6j08OzcnFnB63Yauf");
runApp(const MyApp());
}

Note: The Chapa class follows the Singleton pattern, which ensures that only a single instance of Chapa is created and used throughout your application. You can access the Chapa instance using the Chapa.getInstance getter.


Initialize a payment using the startPayment method:

Future<void> pay() async{
String? paymentUrl = await Chapa.getInstance.startPayment(
context:context,
onInAppPaymentSuccess:(successMsg){
// handle success events
},
onInAppPaymentError:(errorMsg){
//handle error
},
amount: '1000',
currency: 'ETB',
txRef: 'GENERATED_TRANSACTION_REFERENCE',
);

}

3.1:
String? paymentUrl = await Chapa.getInstance.startPayment(
enableInAppPayment: false,
amount: '1000',
currency: 'ETB',
);
copied to clipboard
In this example, the startPayment method is called with the necessary parameters:
+ Required Arguments


amount (String): The amount of the payment.


currency (String): The currency of the payment.


+ Optional Arguments #


txRef (String): The transaction reference for the payment. if not passed, it will generate default txRef with prefix 'test'


context (BuildContext): The BuildContext used for navigation. (Required if enableInAppPayment is set to true).


enableInAppPayment (bool): Flag to determine whether to use in-app payment or not. Default is true. If set to true, you are required to pass your context.


onInAppPaymentSuccess (Function): Callback function invoked when in-app payment is successful. Receives a success message as a parameter.


onInAppPaymentError (Function): Callback function invoked when there is an error during in-app payment. Receives an error message as a parameter.


email (String): The email address associated with the payment.


firstName (String): The first name of the payer.


lastName (String): The last name of the payer.


title (String): The title or name of the payment.


description (String): Additional description or details about the payment.


phoneNumber (String): The phone number associated with the payment.


callbackUrl (String): The callback URL for handling payment callbacks or notifications.


returnUrl (String): The return URL for redirecting after payment completion.


Note: You can customize the payment options based on your requirements. #

To verify the payment status, use the verifyPayment method:

Future<void> verify()async {
Map<String, dynamic> verificationResult = await Chapa.getInstance.verifyPayment(
txRef: 'GENERATED_TRANSACTION_REFERENCE',
);
}

Incase you need to reset the configuration , use resetConfiguration method:

Future<void> resetChapa(){
Chapa.resetConfiguration();
}

Transaction Reference Generator #
The TxRefRandomGenerator class is used for generating transaction references. This class generates random transaction references using UUID so there won't be any problem but it is possible for a coincidence to occur where two UUIDs match, the probability of this happening is extremely low. This is because UUIDs are designed to be unique and generated using a cryptographically secure random number generator, which makes it highly unlikely for two UUIDs to match.
Example #
Future<void> pay() async{
// Generate a random transaction reference with a custom prefix
String txRef = TxRefRandomGenerator.generate(prefix: 'Pharmabet');

// Access the generated transaction reference
String storedTxRef = TxRefRandomGenerator.gettxRef;

// Print the generated transaction reference and the stored transaction reference
print('Generated TxRef: $txRef');
print('Stored TxRef: $storedTxRef');
await Chapa.getInstance.startPayment(
context: context,
onInAppPaymentSuccess: (successMsg) {
// Handle success events
},
onInAppPaymentError: (errorMsg) {
// Handle error
},
amount: '1000',
currency: 'ETB',
txRef: storedTxRef,
);
}

This example shows how to generate a random transaction reference with a custom prefix, access the generated transaction reference using the gettxRef getter, and shows how you can use it in a start payment.
Exceptions #
The chapa_unofficial package provides several exceptions that can be thrown during the payment process. These exceptions allow you to handle specific error scenarios and provide meaningful feedback to your users. Here are the exceptions available:
AuthException: Thrown when there is an authentication error during the payment process. It contains a message describing the error.
InitializationException: Thrown when there is an issue with the startPayment method of the Chapa instance. It contains a message describing the error.
NetworkException: Thrown when there is a network-related error during the payment process. This exception can be used to handle scenarios such as connection timeouts or unavailable network.
ServerException: Thrown when there is an error on the server-side during the payment process. It contains a message describing the error.
UnknownException: Thrown when an unknown or unexpected error occurs during the payment process. This exception can be used as a fallback for handling unanticipated errors.
VerificationException: Thrown when there is an error during the payment verification process. It contains a message describing the error.
Example #
Example 1 : exceptions may occure during startPayment
try {
// start Payment Code
} on ChapaException catch (e) {
if (e is AuthException) {
// Handle authentication error
} else if (e is InitializationException) {
// Handle initialization error
} else if (e is NetworkException) {
// Handle network error
} else if (e is ServerException) {
// Handle server-side error
} else {
// Handle unknown error
}
}

Example 2 : exceptions may occure during verifyPayment
try {
// verification code here
} on ChapaException catch (e) {
if (e is AuthException) {
// Handle authentication error
} else if (e is NetworkException) {
// Handle network error
} else if (e is ServerException) {
// Handle server-side error
} else if (e is VerificationException) {
// Handle payment verification error
} else {
// Handle unknown error
}
