You should create a Paystack account to generate a Paystack Secret Key. You can see this in the settings page >> API keys and Webhook section.
β οΈ : Warning: Do not expose your secret key or commit your secret key to git, or use them in client-side code.
π‘: Take Note: Public key is to be used from your front-end when integrating using Paystack Inline. In this case you have to use you secret key
β : Good: Set your secret key in environment variables as seen: PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
-
For Windows:
-
Create virtual environment
py -m venv <environment_name>
-
Activate the virtual environment
<environment_name>\Scripts\activate
-
-
For Unix/macOS
-
Create virtual environment
python3 -m venv <environment_name>
-
Activate the virtual environment
<environment_name>/bin/activate
-
pip install paystackease
pipx install paystackease

Clone from the dev
branch GitHub repository, unzip and install:
git clone -b dev https://github.com/cla-bit/PayStackEase.git
cd PayStackEase
pip install paystackease
If after setting your secret key in environment variables, for a synchronous transaction process all you need to do is use the transaction API to make a transaction.
To create a transaction or initialize a transaction:
- import the Paystack API wrapper.
from paystackease import PayStackBase
- Create an instance to use the PaystackBase wrapper to interact with the Transaction API.
paystack_client = PayStackBase()
- Use the instance and call the transaction method to initialize a transaction
create_transaction = paystack_client.transactions.initialize(
email="johndoe@email.com",
amount=10000000)
print(f"Transaction Created: {create_transaction}")
β : Good: You can check your Paystack account, go to the Transaction page, and you will see the transaction just created.
Similar to calling the PayStackBase, you can also call other tools to make your work easy. For example:
from paystackease import AccountType
val1 = AccountType.PERSONAL.value
print(val1)
"personal"
from paystackease import convert_to_subunit
# amount should be in subunit in this case 10000 kobo = 100 naira
money = convert_to_subunit(100, Currency.NGN)
print(money)
10000
from paystackease import Channels
bank = Channels.BANK.value
print(bank)
"bank"
from paystackease import Currency
val1 = Currency.NGN.value
print(val1)
"NGN"
from paystackease import DocumentType
val1 = DocumentType.IDENTITY_NUMBER.value
print(val1)
"identityNumber"
Others are: EventType, Interval, MobileMoney, PWT, QRCODE, RecipientType, ResendOTP, Resolution, RiskAction, SplitType, STATUS, etc.
