Server Setup

Create a payment on your server to get a client secret for the SDK.

Step 1: Create a Payment Intent

Create a payment with confirm: false on your server:

curl -X POST 'https://api.v2.paychtec.com/payments' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "api-key: snd_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "amount": 5000,
  "currency": "USD",
  "profile_id": "YOUR_PROFILE_ID",
  "confirm": false
}'

curl -X POST 'https://api.v2.paychtec.com/payments' \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -H "api-key: snd_YOUR_API_KEY" \  -d '{  "amount": 5000,  "currency": "USD",  "profile_id": "YOUR_PROFILE_ID",  "confirm": false}'

Step 2: Return the Client Secret

The response includes a client_secret — pass this to your frontend:

{
  "payment_id": "pay_1234567890abcdef",
  "client_secret": "pay_1234_secret_abcdef...",
  "status": "requires_payment_method"
}

Step 3: Server Endpoint Example

app.post('/create-payment', async (req, res) => {
const { amount, currency } = req.body;

const response = await fetch('https://api.v2.paychtec.com/payments', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'api-key': process.env.API_KEY,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    amount,
    currency,
    profile_id: process.env.PROFILE_ID,
    confirm: false,
  }),
});

const payment = await response.json();
res.json({ clientSecret: payment.client_secret });
});

app.post('/create-payment', async (req, res) => {const { amount, currency } = req.body;const response = await fetch('https://api.v2.paychtec.com/payments', {  method: 'POST',  headers: {    'Content-Type': 'application/json',    'api-key': process.env.API_KEY,  },  body: JSON.stringify({    amount,    currency,    profile_id: process.env.PROFILE_ID,    confirm: false,  }),});const payment = await response.json();res.json({ clientSecret: payment.client_secret });});
