Flutter Paypal Payment Integration

Created At: 2022-03-02 05:16:52 Updated At: 2022-06-06 22:40:57

We will learn how to do paypal integration for flutter app using webview. There are a few steps we need to follow to do it.

1. Paypal developer account

2. Integrate Flutter for backend

3. Flutter front end code

 

1. Paypal developer account

First you need to go there https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts and create an account as a developer. But do remember it has to be a business type account. 

Once you create the account you would be able to create a test app. This test and it's secret id and client id we will use in our app.

 

2. Integerate paypal for backend

Here I am going to use Laravel framework as a backend. You should go to the below link and install paypal PHP sdk using a composer.

https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-SDK/wiki/Installation-Composer

You should see something like this in your vendor folder in your laravel app

If you see like above photo, you should have the sdk ready inside your laravel app.

Now, this is not going to be restfup api request in from Flutter application. Loading the sdk and getting response from backend will happend using a webview. In our case we are using webview_flutter plugin. 

So flutter app will make a request to the backend using web view. Since this is not restful api request, we will put our end points in web.php file

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

    
    Route::get('/', function () {
        return view('welcome');
    });
    
    Route::group(['prefix' => 'payment-mobile'], function () {
        Route::get('/', 'PaymentController@payment')->name('payment-mobile');
        Route::get('set-payment-method/{name}', 'PaymentController@set_payment_method')->name('set-payment-method');
    });
    Route::post('pay-paypal', 'PaypalPaymentController@payWithpaypal')->name('pay-paypal');
    Route::get('paypal-status', 'PaypalPaymentController@getPaymentStatus')->name('paypal-status');
    Route::get('payment-success', 'PaymentController@success')->name('payment-success');
    Route::get('payment-fail', 'PaymentController@fail')->name('payment-fail');

The above route could be anything based on your requirement.  if we use the below link from flutter webview 

http://mvs.bslmeiyu.com/payment-mobile?customer_id=27&order_id=100011

then, the second line from the above code in Route::group will get called.

After that we need to create two controllers and one view file. Controllers in would be in the Http/Controllers folder

1. PaymentController.php

2. PaypalPaymentController.php

The view would be in resources/view folder

1. payment-view.blade.php

Now take a look at PaymentController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Order;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PaymentController extends Controller
{
    public function payment(Request $request)
    {
        
        if ($request->has('callback')) {
            Order::where(['id' => $request->order_id])->update(['callback' => $request['callback']]);
        }

        session()->put('customer_id', $request['customer_id']);
        session()->put('order_id', $request->order_id);

        $customer = User::find($request['customer_id']);
        
        $order = Order::where(['id' => $request->order_id, 'user_id' => $request['customer_id']])->first();
        
        if (isset($customer) && isset($order)) {
            $data = [
                'name' => $customer['f_name'],
                'email' => $customer['email'],
                'phone' => $customer['phone'],
            ];
            session()->put('data', $data);
            return view('payment-view');
        }

        return response()->json(['errors' => ['code' => 'order-payment', 'message' => 'Data not found']], 403);
    }

    public function success()
    {
        $order = Order::where(['id' => session('order_id'), 'user_id'=>session('customer_id')])->first();
        /*if ($order->callback != null) {
            return redirect($order->callback . '&status=success');
        }
        return response()->json(['message' => 'Payment succeeded'], 200); */
         return redirect('&status=success');
    }

    public function fail()
    {
        $order = Order::where(['id' => session('order_id'), 'user_id'=>session('customer_id')])->first();
        /*if ($order->callback != null) {
            return redirect($order->callback . '&status=fail');
        }
        return response()->json(['message' => 'Payment failed'], 403);*/
         return redirect('&status=success');
    }
}

The above function payment() returns a view to the blade.

 

Take a look at the view payment-view.blade.php

@php($currency=\App\Models\BusinessSetting::where(['key'=>'currency'])->first()->value)

In the above code, we have used some css and js files for styling. You can use yours. 

We also have an image for paypal. You can use any kind of image.

95% of the above code is from here. It's paypal's official code. You may need to change a little bit based on your requirement.

3. Flutter front end code

Here I am going to share with you flutter front end code for checking. This tutorial assumes that you have an app ready and you also have a check out button. 

If you click on your check out button, it should send a request to the server which in return will call paypal sdk

class PaymentScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  final OrderModel orderModel;
  PaymentScreen({required this.orderModel});

  @override
  _PaymentScreenState createState() => _PaymentScreenState();
}

class _PaymentScreenState extends State<PaymentScreen> {
  late String selectedUrl;
  double value = 0.0;
  bool _canRedirect = true;
  bool _isLoading = true;
  final Completer<WebViewController> _controller = Completer<WebViewController>();
  late WebViewController controllerGlobal;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    selectedUrl = '${AppConstants.BASE_URL}/payment-mobile?customer_id=${widget.orderModel.userId}&order_id=${widget.orderModel.id}';
    //selectedUrl="https://mvs.bslmeiyu.com";
   // if (Platform.isAndroid) WebView.platform = SurfaceAndroidWebView();
  }

  @override

                    _redirect(url);

                  },

Tables needed for this app. We will create three tables

1. business_settings (this table is not needed if you don't follow e-commerce app)

Create a table in phpmyadmin. Look at the tables column. Here we will save configuratoin infor. Name table business_settings

Get the model from the below link

2. orders table

Here it will keep information for a certain order. Create another table name orders

We need order model for orders table inside app/Models/. Get the code from the link below.

https://laravell.site/Laravel-e-commerce-app-order-model

3. order_details

This table helps you keep all the orders details in the database. Create it name it order_details

order_details need a model in the app/Models/ folder. Get the model from the link below

Error and solutions

If you get below error

"error":"invalid_client","error_description":"Client Authentication failed"

Then try to get a new paypal client id and secret id and save it to the .evn file and restart your app or web app.
