Initialization
Import useFlutterwave to any component in your application and pass your config
import { useFlutterwave } from 'flutterwave-react-v3';
const config = {
public_key: 'FLWPUBK-**************************-X',
tx_ref: Date.now(),
amount: 100,

},
};
useFlutterwave(config)
Usage
Add Flutterwave to your projects as a component or a react hook:
Components
import React from 'react';
import { FlutterWaveButton, closePaymentModal } from 'flutterwave-react-v3';
export default function App() {
const config = {
public_key: 'FLWPUBK-**************************-X',
tx_ref: Date.now(),
amount: 100,
currency: 'NGN',
payment_options: 'card,mobilemoney,ussd',
customer: {
email: '[email protected]',
phone_number: '070********',
name: 'john doe',
},
customizations: {
title: 'My store',
description: 'Payment for items in cart',
logo: 'https://st2.depositphotos.com/4403291/7418/v/450/depositphotos_74189661-stock-illustration-online-shop-log.jpg',
},
};
const fwConfig = {
...config,
text: 'Pay with Flutterwave!',
callback: (response) => {
console.log(response);
closePaymentModal() // this will close the modal programmatically
},
onClose: () => {},
};
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Hello Test user</h1>
<FlutterWaveButton {...fwConfig} />
</div>
);
}Hooks
import React from 'react';
import { useFlutterwave, closePaymentModal } from 'flutterwave-react-v3';
export default function App() {
const config = {
public_key: 'FLWPUBK-**************************-X',
tx_ref: Date.now(),
amount: 100,
currency: 'NGN',
payment_options: 'card,mobilemoney,ussd',
customer: {
email: '[email protected]',
phone_number: '070********',
name: 'john doe',
},
customizations: {
title: 'my Payment Title',
description: 'Payment for items in cart',
logo: 'https://st2.depositphotos.com/4403291/7418/v/450/depositphotos_74189661-stock-illustration-online-shop-log.jpg',
},
};
const handleFlutterPayment = useFlutterwave(config);
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Hello Test user</h1>
<button
onClick={() => {
handleFlutterPayment({
callback: (response) => {
console.log(response);
closePaymentModal() // this will close the modal programmatically
},
onClose: () => {},
});
}}
>
Payment with React hooks
</button>
</div>
);
}Next.js Applications
The Flutterwave React SDK works seamlessly with Next.js applications. Since the library loads external scripts, you must ensure it runs only on the client side.
App Router (Next.js 13+)
Add the 'use client' directive at the top of your payment component:
'use client';
import React from 'react';
import { useFlutterwave, closePaymentModal } from 'flutterwave-react-v3';
export default function FlutterwavePayment() {
const config = {
public_key: 'FLWPUBK-**************************-X',
tx_ref: Date.now(),
amount: 100,
currency: 'NGN',
payment_options: 'card,mobilemoney,ussd',
customer: {
email: '[email protected]',
phone_number: '070********',
name: 'john doe',
},
customizations: {
title: 'My Payment',
description: 'Payment for items in cart',
logo: 'https://st2.depositphotos.com/4403291/7418/v/450/depositphotos_74189661-stock-illustration-online-shop-log.jpg',
},
};
const handleFlutterPayment = useFlutterwave(config);
return (
<div>
<h1>Make Payment</h1>
<button
onClick={() => {
handleFlutterPayment({
callback: (response) => {
console.log(response);
closePaymentModal();
},
onClose: () => {},
});
}}
>
Pay with Flutterwave
</button>
</div>
);
}You can also use the FlutterWaveButton component:
'use client';
import React from 'react';
import { FlutterWaveButton, closePaymentModal } from 'flutterwave-react-v3';
export default function PaymentButton() {
const config = {
public_key: 'FLWPUBK-**************************-X',
tx_ref: Date.now(),
amount: 100,
currency: 'NGN',
payment_options: 'card,mobilemoney,ussd',
customer: {
email: '[email protected]',
phone_number: '070********',
name: 'john doe',
},
customizations: {
title: 'My store',
description: 'Payment for items in cart',
logo: 'https://st2.depositphotos.com/4403291/7418/v/450/depositphotos_74189661-stock-illustration-online-shop-log.jpg',
},
};
const fwConfig = {
...config,
text: 'Pay with Flutterwave!',
callback: (response) => {
console.log(response);
closePaymentModal();
},
onClose: () => {},
};
return (
<div>
<h1>Checkout</h1>
<FlutterWaveButton {...fwConfig} />
</div>
);
}Pages Router (Next.js 12 and below)
Use dynamic imports with SSR disabled:
import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';
// Dynamically import the payment component with SSR disabled
const FlutterwavePayment = dynamic(
() => import('../components/FlutterwavePayment'),
{ ssr: false }
);
export default function CheckoutPage() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Checkout</h1>
<FlutterwavePayment />
</div>
);
}Then create your payment component in components/FlutterwavePayment.js:
import React from 'react';
import { useFlutterwave, closePaymentModal } from 'flutterwave-react-v3';
export default function FlutterwavePayment() {
const config = {
public_key: 'FLWPUBK-**************************-X',
tx_ref: Date.now(),
amount: 100,
currency: 'NGN',
payment_options: 'card,mobilemoney,ussd',
customer: {
email: '[email protected]',
phone_number: '070********',
name: 'john doe',
},
customizations: {
title: 'My Payment',
description: 'Payment for items in cart',
logo: 'https://st2.depositphotos.com/4403291/7418/v/450/depositphotos_74189661-stock-illustration-online-shop-log.jpg',
},
};
const handleFlutterPayment = useFlutterwave(config);
return (
<div>
<button
onClick={() => {
handleFlutterPayment({
callback: (response) => {
console.log(response);
closePaymentModal();
},
onClose: () => {},
});
}}
>
Pay with Flutterwave
</button>
</div>
);
}Important Notes:
- Always use the
'use client'directive when using Next.js App Router (Next.js 13+) - The Flutterwave script loads client-side only and cannot be server-side rendered
- Ensure payment components are client components, not server components
- For Pages Router, use
dynamicimport withssr: falseto prevent server-side rendering errors
Recurring Payments
Pass the payment plan ID into your payload to make recurring payments.
import React from 'react';
import { useFlutterwave, closePaymentModal } from 'flutterwave-react-v3';
export default function App() {
const config = {
public_key: 'FLWPUBK-**************************-X',
tx_ref: Date.now(),
amount: 100,
currency: 'NGN',
payment_options="card",
payment_plan="3341",
customer: {
email: '[email protected]',
phone_number: '070********',
name: 'john doe',
},
meta = { counsumer_id: "7898", consumer_mac: "kjs9s8ss7dd" },
customizations: {
title: 'my Payment Title',
description: 'Payment for items in cart',
logo: 'https://st2.depositphotos.com/4403291/7418/v/450/depositphotos_74189661-stock-illustration-online-shop-log.jpg',
},
};
const handleFlutterPayment = useFlutterwave(config);
return (
<div className="App">
<h1>Hello Test user</h1>
<button
onClick={() => {
handleFlutterPayment({
callback: (response) => {
console.log(response);
closePaymentModal() // this will close the modal programmatically
},
onClose: () => {},
});
}}
>
Payment with React hooks
</button>
</div>
);
