Getting Started
You should create a Paystack account to generate a Paystack Secret Key. You can see this in the settings page >> API keys and Webhook section.

⚠️: Warning: Do not expose your secret key or commit your secret key to git, or use them in client-side code.

💡: Take Note: Public key is to be used from your front-end when integrating using Paystack Inline. In this case you have to use you secret key

✅: Good: Set your secret key in environment variables as seen: PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key

Create a Virtual Environment

For Windows:

Create virtual environment
py -m venv <environment_name>

Activate the virtual environment
<environment_name>\Scripts\activate

For Unix/macOS

Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv <environment_name>

Activate the virtual environment
<environment_name>/bin/activate

API usage

Making a Transaction [Synchronous]
If after setting your secret key in environment variables, for a synchronous transaction process
all you need to do is use the transaction API to make a transaction.
To create a transaction or initialize a transaction:

import the Paystack API wrapper.

from paystackease import PayStackBase

Create an instance to use the PaystackBase wrapper to interact with the Transaction API.

paystack_client = PayStackBase()

Use the instance and call the transaction method to initialize a transaction

create_transaction = paystack_client.transactions.initialize(
email="johndoe@email.com",
amount=10000000)

print(f"Transaction Created: {create_transaction}")

✅: Good: You can check your Paystack account, go to the Transaction page, and you will see the transaction just created.

Other Tools
Similar to calling the PayStackBase, you can also call other tools to make your work easy. For example:

Account Type

from paystackease import AccountType

val1 = AccountType.PERSONAL.value

print(val1)

"personal"

Convert units to subunits:

from paystackease import convert_to_subunit

# amount should be in subunit in this case 10000 kobo = 100 naira
money = convert_to_subunit(100, Currency.NGN)
print(money)

10000

Channels

from paystackease import Channels

bank = Channels.BANK.value

print(bank)

"bank"

Currency

from paystackease import Currency

val1 = Currency.NGN.value

print(val1)

"NGN"

Document Type

from paystackease import DocumentType

val1 = DocumentType.IDENTITY_NUMBER.value

print(val1)

"identityNumber"

Others are: EventType, Interval, MobileMoney, PWT, QRCODE, RecipientType, ResendOTP, Resolution, RiskAction, SplitType, STATUS, etc.
