for Android & iOS by Arttitude 360
This React Native module provides a wrapper to add Paystack Payments to your React Native application using the Paystack Android Mobile SDK and the Paystack iOS Mobile SDK libraries.
PS: If you are using this library in production, please give the repo a star - I am not being vain and have no interest in the vanity metric, just trying to figure out if it is still worth the time or effort spent supporting the library. Cheers!
You can pull in react-native-paystack via npm:
npm install react-native-paystack --saveOR
yarn add react-native-paystack- For
RN >=0.40only; - Breaking Change Alert for v3.2.0+. Looking for the docs for the 3.1.* version of this library? Check here!
- If you do not have CocoaPods already installed on your machine, run
gem install cocoapodsto set it up the first time. (Hint: Go grab a cup of coffee!) - If you are not using Cocoapods in your project already, run
cd ios && pod initat the root directory of your project. This would create aPodfilein youriosdirectory. - Run
react-native link react-native-paystackat the root directory of your project and ensure you edit your Podfile to look like the sample below (remove all the targets you are not building for, such as Tests and tvOS):
# platform :ios, '9.0'
target '_YOUR_PROJECT_TARGET_' do
# Pods for _YOUR_PROJECT_TARGET_
pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [
'Core',
'CxxBridge',
'DevSupport',
'RCTText',
'RCTImage',
'RCTNetwork',
'RCTWebSocket',
'RCTSettings',
'RCTAnimation',
'RCTLinkingIOS',
# Add any other subspecs you want to use in your project
# Remove any subspecs you don't want to use in your project
]
pod "yoga", :path => "../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga"
pod 'DoubleConversion', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/DoubleConversion.podspec'
pod 'glog', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/glog.podspec'
pod 'Folly', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec'
# This should already be auto-added for you, if not add the line below
pod 'react-native-paystack', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-paystack'
end- Replace all references to YOUR_PROJECT_TARGET with your project target (it's the same as project name by default).
- By now, you should be all set to install the packages from your Podfile. Run
pod installfrom youriosdirectory. - Close Xcode, and then open (double-click) your project's .xcworkspace file to launch Xcode. From this time onwards, you must use the
.xcworkspacefile to open the project. Or just use thereact-native run-ioscommand as usual to run your app in the simulator.
Since React Native 0.60 and higher, autolinking makes the installation process simpler.

- The following steps are optional, should be taken if you have not run
react-native link react-native-paystackalready. - In XCode's "Project navigator", right click on project name folder ➜
Add Files to <...>. EnsureCopy items if neededandCreate groupsare checked - Go to
node_modules➜react-native-paystack/ios➜ addRNPaystack.xcodeproj. - Click on your main project file (the one that represents the .xcodeproj for your project) select
Build Phasesand drag the static library,libRNPaystack.afrom theProductsfolder insideRNPaystack.xcodeprojtoLink Binary With Libraries. See the react-native docs for more details.
- Run
react-native link react-native-paystackat the root directory of your project.
Since React Native 0.60 and higher, autolinking makes the installation process simpler. Nothing more to do here (Gradle has you all set to go) - just head over to usage!
- The following steps are optional, should be taken if you have not run
react-native link react-native-paystackalready. - Add the following in your
android/settings.gradlefile:
include ':react-native-paystack'
project(':react-native-paystack').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-paystack/android')- Add the following in your
android/app/build.gradefile:
dependencies {
...
compile project(':react-native-paystack')
}- Add the following in your
...MainApplication.javafile:
import com.arttitude360.reactnative.rnpaystack.RNPaystackPackage;
@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
...
new RNPaystackPackage() //<-- Add line
);
}- Update Gradle plugin to v3.0.0+ for your app, follow the following steps if you are not sure how:
- Edit your
~ android/build.gradleto look similar to build.gradle - Edit your
~ android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.propertiesto look similar to gradle-wrapper.properties
- Edit your
- To avoid build issues, enable
Aapt2for your project by addingandroid.enableAapt2=trueto yourandroid/gradle.propertiesfile. - If you are using RN with a version lower than 0.57.0, it is important you replace your
node-modules/react-native/react.gradlefile with this version @ commit da6a5e0 to avoid further build issues when assembling a release version of your app.
Somewhere high up in your project and way before calling any other method exposed by this library, your index file or equivalent is a good spot, ensure you initialize the library with your public key as follos:
import RNPaystack from 'react-native-paystack';
RNPaystack.init({ publicKey: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE' });It's a cinch to charge a card token using the react-native-paystack module. This is the recommended or the most-preferred workflow favored by the folks at Paystack. Initiate a new transaction on your server side using the appropriate Paystack endpoint - obtain an access_code and complete the charge on your mobile application. Pls note, the SDK assumes you are responsible for building the card form/UI.
RNPaystack.chargeCardWithAccessCode(cardParams);To be more elaborate, cardParams is a Javascript Object representing the card to be charged and RNPaystack.chargeCardWithAccessCode() returns a Javascript Promise like:
import RNPaystack from 'react-native-paystack';
chargeCard() {
RNPaystack.chargeCardWithAccessCode({
cardNumber: '4123450131001381',
expiryMonth: '10',
expiryYear: '17',
cvc: '883',
accessCode: '2p3j42th639duy4'
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response); // do stuff with the token
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error); // error is a javascript Error object
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.code);
})
}| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| cardNumber | string | the card number as a String without any seperator e.g 5555555555554444 |
| expiryMonth | string | the card expiry month as a double-digit ranging from 1-12 e.g 10 (October) |
| expiryYear | string | the card expiry year as a double-digit e.g 15 |
| cvc | string | the card 3/4 digit security code as a String e.g 123 |
| accessCode | string | the access_code obtained for the charge |
An object of the form is returned from a successful token request
{
reference: "trx_1k2o600w"
}Using the react-native-paystack module, you can start and complete a transaction with the mobile Paystack Android and iOS SDKs. With this option, you pass both your charge and card properties to the SDK - with this worklow, you initiate and complete a transaction on your mobile app. Note that as with charging with an access_code, the SDK assumes you are responsible for building the card form/UI.
RNPaystack.chargeCard(chargeParams);To be more elaborate, chargeParams is a Javascript Object representing the parameters of the charge to be initiated and RNPaystack.chargeCard() returns a Javascript Promise like:
import RNPaystack from 'react-native-paystack';
chargeCard() {
RNPaystack.chargeCard({
cardNumber: '4123450131001381',
expiryMonth: '10',
expiryYear: '17',
cvc: '883',
email: '[email protected]',
amountInKobo: 150000,
subAccount: 'ACCT_pz61jjjsslnx1d9',
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response); // card charged successfully, get reference here
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error); // error is a javascript Error object
console.log(error.message);
console.log(error.code);
})
}| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| cardNumber | string | the card number as a String without any seperator e.g 5555555555554444 |
| expiryMonth | string | the card expiry month as a double-digit ranging from 1-12 e.g 10 (October) |
| expiryYear | string | the card expiry year as a double-digit e.g 15 |
| cvc | string | the card 3/4 digit security code as e.g 123 |
| string | email of the user to be charged | |
| amountInKobo | integer | the transaction amount in kobo |
| currency (optional) | string | sets the currency for the transaction e.g. USD |
| plan (optional) | string | sets the plan ID if the transaction is to create a subscription e.g. PLN_n0p196bg73y4jcx |
| subAccount (optional) | string | sets the subaccount ID for split-payment transactions e.g. ACCT_pz61jjjsslnx1d9 |
| transactionCharge (optional) | integer | the amount to be charged on a split-payment, use only when subAccount is set |
| bearer (optional) | string | sets which party bears paystack fees on a split-payment e.g. 'subaccount', use only when subAccount is set |
| reference (optional) | string | sets the transaction reference which must be unique per transaction |
An object of the form is returned from a successful charge
{
reference: "trx_1k2o600w"
}Verify a charge by calling Paystack's REST API with the reference obtained above. An authorization_code will be returned once the card has been charged successfully. Learn more about that here.
Parameter:
- reference - the transaction reference (required)
