💳 Paystack Plugin for Flutter #







A Flutter plugin for making payments via Paystack Payment Gateway. Fully
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_naza/flutter_paystack.dart';

class _PaymentPageState extends State<PaymentPage> {
var publicKey = '[YOUR_PAYSTACK_PUBLIC_KEY]';
final plugin = PaystackPlugin();

@override
void initState() {
plugin.initialize(publicKey: publicKey);
}
}

No other configuration required—the plugin works out of the box.
💲 Making Payments #
There are two ways of making payment with the plugin.

Checkout: This is the easy way; as the plugin handles all the
processes involved in making a payment (except transaction
initialization and verification which should be done from your
backend).
Charge Card: This is a longer approach; you handle all callbacks
and UI states.

1. 🌟 Checkout (Recommended) #
You initialize a charge object with an amount, email & accessCode or
reference. Pass an accessCode only when you have
initialized the transaction
from your backend. Otherwise, pass a reference.
Charge charge = Charge()
..amount = 10000
..reference = _getReference()
// or ..accessCode = _getAccessCodeFrmInitialization()
..email = '[email protected]';
CheckoutResponse response = await plugin.checkout(
context context,
method: CheckoutMethod.card, // Defaults to CheckoutMethod.selectable
charge: charge,
);
copied to clipboard
Please, note that an accessCode is required if the method is
CheckoutMethod.bank or CheckoutMethod.selectable.
plugin.checkout() returns the state and details of the
payment in an instance of CheckoutResponse .
It is recommended that when plugin.checkout() returns, the
payment should be
verified
on your backend.
2. ⭐ Charge Card #
You can choose to initialize the payment locally or via your backend.
A. Initialize Via Your Backend (Recommended)
1.a. This starts by making a HTTP POST request to
paystack
on your backend.
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 plugin.chargeCard() function for payment:
PaymentCard _getCardFromUI() {
// Using just the must-required parameters.
return PaymentCard(
number: cardNumber,
cvc: cvv,
expiryMonth: expiryMonth,
expiryYear: expiryYear,
);
}

_chargeCard(String accessCode) async {
var charge = Charge()
..accessCode = accessCode
..card = _getCardFromUI();

final response = await plugin.chargeCard(context, charge: charge);
// Use the response
}
copied to clipboard
The transaction is successful if response.status is true. Please, see the documentation
of CheckoutResponse
for more information.
2. Initialize Locally
Just send the payment details to plugin.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 = '[email protected]'
..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.
