Accept Payments

Collect payments from customers across Africa and beyond. Choose the integration method that fits your needs, from a quick drop-in checkout to full API control.

BudPay Inline (Popup)

Embed the checkout directly on your website as a popup. Customers never leave your site.

How it works:

1. Add the BudPay script to your page
2. Call BudPayCheckout() when customer clicks pay
3. Customer completes payment in a popup
4. You receive a callback with reference and status

<script src="https://inlinepay.budpay.com/budpay-inline-custom.js"></script>
<button onclick="payWithBudPay()">Pay Now</button>
<script>
function payWithBudPay() {
  BudPayCheckout({
    key: "pk_test_xxxxx",
    email: "customer@email.com",
    amount: "5000",
    first_name: "John",
    last_name: "Doe",
    currency: "NGN",
    callback: function(response) {
      console.log("Reference:", response.reference);
      console.log("Status:", response.status);
    },
    onClose: function(response) {
      console.log("Payment cancelled");
    }
  });
}
</script>

BudPay Standard (Redirect)

Redirect customers to a secure, hosted payment page. Zero frontend code required.

How it works:

1. Call the Initialize Transaction API from your server
2. Redirect customer to the returned authorization URL
3. Customer completes payment on BudPay's page
4. BudPay redirects back to your callback URL with reference and status

curl -X POST https://api.budpay.com/api/v2/transaction/initialize \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "email": "customer@email.com",
    "amount": "20000",
    "callback": "https://yoursite.com/callback"
  }'

Server-to-Server

Build a completely custom payment experience. You control the UI, we handle the processing.

How it works:

1. Collect payment details in your own form
2. Encrypt and send to BudPay API
3. Handle 3D Secure/OTP if required
4. Verify the transaction status
