It takes days, sometimes weeks — and that's before you think about testing. Afriex Checkout Sessions changes that. With a single API call, you get a fully hosted payment page that handles everything: payment method selection, bank transfer details, Mobile Money authorization, session expiration, and redirect on completion. You stay focused on your product; Afriex handles the payment flow. This guide walks you through a complete integration from scratch — using either the official TypeScript SDK or the REST API directly. How It Works The flow is four steps: Your server creates a checkout session via the SDK or REST API Afriex returns a checkoutUrl You redirect the customer to that URL After payment , Afriex redirects the customer back to your app and fires a webhook to your server That's the entire integration surface. No payment UI to build. No polling loop. No bank account display to manage. Prerequisites Before you start, you'll need: An Afriex Business account with API access Your API key from the Afriex dashboard (Developer tab)
