Step 3 - Node.js Package | Initiating the payment

Modified on Thu, Jan 18, 2024 at 6:43 PM

PayTabs Node.js Package makes integration with the PayTabs payment gateway very easy by providing a ready-made payment class that handles the card entry, and billing & shipping information and completes the missing details.

This article is dedicated to walking you through initiating the payment/request payload using the configuration options and parameters that have already been clarified in the previous step, "Step 2 - Configure the integration method". All you have to do is to follow the below steps to initiate a Hosted Payment Page via this package:

As we already initiated the"paytabs" object and set the configs on a previous step.

const paytabs = require('paytabs_pt2');

paytabs.setConfig( profileID, serverKey, region);

Then, you MUST call the "createPaymentPage()" function to initiate the payment page along with passing the payment, transaction, cart, URLs, customer, and shipping details to initiate a pre-filled payment page with your provided information.

let paymentMethods = ["all"];

let transaction_details = [
    transaction.type,
    transaction.class
];

let cart_details = [
    cart.id,
    cart.currency,
    cart.amount,
    cart.description
];

let customer_details = [
    customer.name,
    customer.email,
    customer.phone,
    customer.street,
    customer.city,
    customer.state,
    customer.country,
    customer.zip,
    customer.IP
];

let shipping_address = customer_details;

let response_URLs = [
    url.response,
    url.callback
];

let lang = "ar";

paymentPageCreated = function ($results) {
    console.log($results);
}

let frameMode = true;

paytabs.createPaymentPage(
    paymentMethods,
    transaction_details,
    cart_details,
    customer_details,
    shipping_address,
    response_URLs,
    lang,
    paymentPageCreated,
    frameMode
);
