In this blog, we will build a React Native application to accept payments from users by integrating Razorpay in our application. Founded in 2014, Razorpay is a popular payment gateway among developers, especially in India. Razorpay Payment Gateway is a system designed to handle end-to-end payments.
It is an online payment system that can access all your credit, debit cards, UPI, and popular mobile wallets. It makes nuisance-free payments in India for others. In this payment system, different banks and wallets get connected to it to make payments easier for everyone.
If you’d like to learn more about Razorpay, read this blog post.
Head to the Razorpay website and create an account. You can reach the signup page from here.
Once you’ve signed up with all the necessary information, you’ll see the dashboard.
In the Settings tab, you’ll see a section called API keys. Enter that section and click on the Generate Test Key button.
Then click the generate button to generate Key Id and Key Secret for further use.
The website will display a modal with the Test API Key and a Secret Key. We’ll need the keys in our app and our server.
Install the following libraries in your react native app
-> npm install --save react-native-razorpay Or -> yarn add react-native-razorpay
After installing the packages, for iOS, go into your ios/ directory, and run: pod install.
After the package is installed, cd into ios/ and run:
cd ios && pod install
Now, open Podfile to change the platform version from 9.0 to 10.0 in the Podfile.
To open Podfile, run
$ open podfile
We need to import the native package into
android/app/src/main/java/com/[projectname]/MainApplication.java.
import com.razorpay.rn.RazorpayPackage;
NOTE: If you are using React Native version >=0.60, you should skip the step below. This is because versions greater than 0.60 have auto-linking.
Add new RazorpayPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method.
Append the following lines to the settings.gradle file.
Add the following lines in the dependencies section of your app/build.gradle file.
implementation project(':react-native-razorpay')
Import React from react and other fundamental components from React Native for building a user interface (like Button, StyleSheet, Alert, View, etc). Also import RazorpayCheckout from react-native-razorpay, which was installed on our project before.
Then we have to make a payNow button which going for initiate our transaction
Here are the options which we can get from backed and that option put on there to initiate our payment.
Now, let’s call the RazorpayCheckout.open method and pass the options to it.
In the options, we need to pass the API Key, the Order ID, product details, and the UI’s theme color. We can also pass user information to prefill the form.
NOTE: Your API Key means Key Id not Key Secret .
we need to call the RazorpayCheckout.open method with the payment options. This method returns a JS Promise.
This opens the checkout form for the transaction with all the available payment methods.
When you are working on test mode, you’ll see an additional screen that’ll let you simulate a successful and failed transaction.
After calling the RazorpayCheckout method, it returns a promise. In case of success, the result can be consumed in the “then” block.
Sample success response
You can check the received payments in the Razorpay dashboard.
In this blog, we saw in detail the implementation and integration of the Razorpay payment gateway in React Native and how to use it for your Application for a better payment solution.
