react-native-paystack-modal

A lightweight Paystack checkout SDK for React Native and Expo that opens the Paystack InlineJS checkout inside a WebView popup modal.

The library is fully type-safe, requires no provider setup, and works in both Expo and bare React Native apps.

Setup

Add the modal host once in your root component.

Basic Usage

import { Paystack } from "react-native-paystack-modal";

Paystack.newTransaction({
  key: "pk_test_xxxx",
  email: "customer@email.com",
  amount: 500000,

  onSuccess: (response) => {
    console.log("Payment success", response);
  },

  onCancel: () => {
    console.log("Payment cancelled");
  },

  onError: (error) => {
    console.error("Payment error", error);
  }
});

Async Usage

You can also use async/await if preferred.

try {
  const response = await Paystack.checkout({
    key: "pk_test_xxxx",

  });

  console.log(response);
} catch (err) {

• Avoid native SDK linking
• Stay lightweight
• Remain fully type-safe
