About

Copy to clipboardmedusa-payment-paystack is a Medusa plugin that adds Paystack as a payment provider to Medusa ecommerce stores.

Setup

Prerequisites

Medusa Server

If you don’t have a Medusa server installed yet, you must follow the quickstart guide first.

Install the Paystack Plugin

In the root of your Medusa server, run the following command to install the Paystack plugin:
yarn add medusa-payment-paystack

Configure the Paystack Plugin

Next, you need to enable the plugin in your Medusa server.
In Copy to clipboardmedusa-config.js add the following to the Copy to clipboardplugins array:
const plugins = [
// other plugins
{
resolve: `medusa-payment-paystack`,
/** @type {import("medusa-payment-paystack").PluginOptions} */
options: {
secret_key: "<PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY>",
},
},
];
The full list of configuration options you can pass to the plugin can be found in Config

Setup Webhooks

To ensure that Medusa is notified of successful payments, you need to set up webhooks in your Paystack dashboard. If you're installing this plugin for production use, this is a required step.
Go to your Paystack dashboard and navigate to the "API Keys & Webhooks" section.
Set the Webhook URL to Copy to clipboard<your-medusa-backend-url>/paystack/hooks. Eg. Copy to clipboardhttps://your-medusa-backend.com/paystack/hooks.

Admin Setup

This step is required for you to be able to use Paystack as a payment provider in your storefront.

Admin Prerequisites

If you don’t have a Medusa admin installed, make sure to follow the guide on how to install it before continuing with this section.

Add Paystack to Regions

You can refer to this documentation in the user guide to learn how to add a payment provider like Paystack to a region.

Storefront Setup

Follow Medusa's Checkout Flow guide using Copy to clipboardpaystack as the Copy to clipboardprovider_id to add Paystack to your checkout flow.
Copy to clipboardmedusa-payment-paystack returns a transaction reference you should send to Paystack as the transaction's reference.
Using this returned reference as the Paystack transaction's reference allows the plugin to confirm the status of the transaction, verify that the paid amount and currency are correct before authorizing the payment.

Using Transaction Reference

Copy to clipboardmedusa-payment-paystack inserts a reference named Copy to clipboardpaystackTxRef into the Copy to clipboardPaymentSession's data.
const { paystackTxRef } = paymentSession.data;
Provide this reference when initiating the Paystack Popup payment flow.
const paymentForm = document.getElementById("paymentForm");
paymentForm.addEventListener("submit", payWithPaystack, false);
function payWithPaystack(e) {
e.preventDefault();
const paystack = new PaystackPop();
paystack.newTransaction({
key: "pk_test_xxxxxxxxxx", // Your Paystack public key
email: document.getElementById("email-address").value,
amount: document.getElementById("amount").value, // Value in lowest denomination of currency to be paid
ref: paystackTxRef, // Reference gotten from plugin
onSuccess() {
// Call Medusa checkout complete here
},
onCancel() {
alert("Window closed.");
},
});
}

Verify Payment

Call the Medusa Complete Cart method in the payment completion callback of your chosen flow.
Copy to clipboardmedusa-payment-paystack will check the status of the transaction with the reference it provided you, verify the amount matches the cart total and mark the cart as paid for in Medusa.

Refund Payments

You can refund captured payments made with Paystack from the Admin dashboard.
Copy to clipboardmedusa-payment-paystack handles refunding the given amount using Paystack and marks the order in Medusa as refunded.
