React Native SDK
Integrating PayHere with your React Native App is super easy with our PayHere React Native SDK. You just have to include the package in your project dependencies, call its methods to initiate a payment and fetch the payment status just after the payment. The beauty is, this SDK allows you to accept a payment within your app, without redirecting your app user to the web browser.
Please refer the below steps to integrate PayHere React Native SDK to your Mobile App.
1. Include PayHere Mobile SDK in your App
Open your React Native project's package.json file and add the PayHere React Native SDK dependency.
{
"dependencies": {
"@payhere/payhere-mobilesdk-reactnative": "4.0.14"
}
}
Then run the following commands in your React Native project directory.
npm install
react-native link @payhere/payhere-mobilesdk-reactnative
2. Set Android Pre-requisites
a. Add the PayHere Android SDK's Maven repository
Open up the (outermost) build.gradle file in your Android project and add the repository.
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
maven {
url 'https://jitpack.io'
}
}
}
b. Allow Manifest attribute merge
Open up the AndroidManifest.xml file in your Anrdoid project and make the following changes.
i. Declare the Android tools namespace in the element.
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.domain.name"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
ii. Add the replace merge rule for the android:allowBackup.
<application tools:replace="android:allowBackup">
3. Set iOS Pre-requisites
Open up the Podfile file in your iOS project and make the following changes.
a. Increase the platform version to iOS 11.
platform :ios, '11.0'
b. Add the PayHere React Native SDK podspec
# Add this is if something similar doesn't already exist
use_react_native!(:path => config["reactNativePath"])
# Add these TWO lines just below 'use_react_native!'
pod 'payHereSDK', :git => 'https://github.com/PayHereDevs/payhere-mobilesdk-ios-rb.git'
pod 'payhere-mobilesdk-reactnative', :path => '../node_modules/@payhere/payhere-mobilesdk-reactnative'
c. Run the following command inside the 'ios' folder.
pod install
4. Whitelist Mobile App Package Name
a. Login to your PayHere Merchant Account and navigate to Settings > Domains and Credentials.
b. Click the 'Add Domain/App' button.
c. Select 'App' from the first dropdown.
d. Add your React Native App package name (e.g. lk.bhasha.helakuru).
e. Take note of the hash value in the last field. This is your Merchant Secret for this specific mobile App.
f. Click 'Request to Approve'.
(If you are using a PayHere Live Merchant Account, your App Package Name must be manually reviewed & approved. Please allow upto one business day for this review process to complete.)
