Integrate bKash into your app (Android/iOS)

Integrate bKash into your app

As a payment platform expert, I can guide you on how to integrate bKash payment system into your mobile app. Below is a detailed step-by-step guide:

1. Preliminary preparations

  • Register for a merchant account: Firstly, you need to add a new file to thebKash Merchant PortalRegister and get the necessary API credentials
  • Select Integration Type: Determine whether you need the Checkout API (simple) or the Payment API (more flexible)
  • Getting API Documentation: Download the latest API documentation and SDK from the bKash Developer Portal

2. Android application integration steps

a. Adding dependencies

implementation 'com.bkash:paymentgateway:3.0.0'

b. Initialising the SDK

BkashPayment bkashPayment = new BkashPayment();
bkashPayment.init(this, "YOUR_MERCHANT_API_KEY", "YOUR_MERCHANT_USERNAME");

c. Creating payment requests

JSONObject paymentRequest = new JSONObject();
try {
paymentRequest.put("amount", "100");
paymentRequest.put("intent", "sale");
// ... Other necessary parameters...
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

3. iOS application integration steps

a. CocoaPods Installation

pod 'bKashiOSFramework'

b. Swift Initialisation Code Example

let bkashiOS = BkashiOS.sharedInstance()
bkashiOS?.initialise(withMerchantID: "YOUR_MERCHANT_ID",
merchantUsername: "YOUR_USERNAME",
apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")

4. Web/back-end integration elements

  • Validate Callback URL: Ensure that the correct success/failure callback URL endpoints are configured
  • IPN processing: Implement an instant payment notification listener to handle asynchronous notifications
  • security measure::
    • SSL certificate must be valid and up-to-date
    • OAuth2 authentication process implemented correctly

5. Testing and Go-Live Considerations

✅ Sandbox environment testing all scenarios (success, failure, cancellation, etc.)
✅ UI adaptation check (especially display issues in dark colour mode)
✅ PCI DSS compliance review (if any sensitive data is stored)

Need more specific details about a particular part of the implementation? Such as language-specific code examples or error handling best practices?

In-depth bKash payment integration details

I'm happy to continue to provide you with a detailed overview of the key aspects of the bKash integration. Below is a more in-depth implementation guide:

1. Android deep integration

a. Complete payment process processing

// Create a sample full payment request
BkashPaymentRequest request = new BkashPaymentRequest.Builder()
.setAmount("500.50")
.setMerchantInvoiceNumber("ORD "+System.currentTimeMillis())
.setCallbackURL("https://yourdomain.com/bkash/callback")
.build();

bkashPayment.createPayment(request, new PaymentListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(JSONObject data) {
// Must validate the server-side transaction ID
String paymentID = data.optString("paymentID");
verifyWithBackend(paymentID).
}

@Override
public void onFailure(String errorMessage) {
showErrorDialog(errorMessage);
}
});

b. WebView custom configuration (if required)

<activity android:name="com.bka.sh.pgw.ui.PaymentActivity"
android:theme="@style/YourCustomTheme" />

2. iOS advanced function implementation

a. SwiftUI Adaptation Programme

struct BkashButton: UIViewRepresentable {
var amount: String

func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIButton { ... }

func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIButton, context: Context) { ... }
}

b. Objective-C compatible code examples (if required)

[[BkashiOS sharedInstance] createPayment:@{
@"amount": @"1200".
@"currency": @"BDT".
} completionHandler^(NSDictionary *response, NSError *error){
if(!error){ /* Handle successful response */ }
}];

3. Webhook Security Authentication Best Practices

Backend PHP validation example:

$received_signature = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_BKASH_SIGNATURE'];
$payload = file_get_contents('php://input');
$expected_signature = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, API_SECRET);

if(hash_equals($expected_signature, $received_signature)){
// Safe handling logic...
$transaction_id = json_decode($payload)->paymentID;
updateOrderStatus($transaction_id).
}

Java Spring Boot Edition signature verification:

@PostMapping("/webhook")  
public ResponseEntity handleWebhook(
@RequestBody String payload, @RequestBody String payload, @RequestBody
@RequestHeader("X-BKASH-Signature") String signature){

Mac sha256_HMAC = Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA256");
sha256_HMAC.init(new SecretKeySpec(apiSecret.getBytes(), "HmacSHA256"));

byte[] result = sha256_HMAC.doFinal(payload.getBytes());
String computedSignature = Hex.encodeHexString(result);

if(computedSignature.equals(signature)){...}
}

4. Solutions to Common Problems

problematic phenomenon Possible causes prescription
Error Code:5015 SSL certificate mismatch Updating CA root certificates
App denied access to shelves Too many SDK permissions Proguard rule optimisation + apply only necessary permissions

Which of the following do I need to highlight? :
1️⃣ API interfacing details for the refund process
2️⃣ Special treatment for multi-currency settlements
3️⃣ Hybrid development integration approach with React Native/Flutter
