payOS Node.js Library

The payOS Node library provides convenient access to the payOS Merchant API from applications written in JavaScript or Typescript.

To learn how to use payOS Merchant API, checkout our API Reference and Documentation. We also have some examples in Examples.

Requirements

Node 20 or higher.

Installation

npm install @payos/node

Important

If update from v1, check Migration guide for detail migration.

Usage

Basic usage

First you need initialize the client to interacting with payOS Merchant API.

import { PayOS } from '@payos/node';
// or
const { PayOS } = require('@payos/node');

const payos = new PayOS({
  clientId: process.env.PAYOS_CLIENT_ID,
  apiKey: process.env.PAYOS_API_KEY,
  checksumKey: process.env.PAYOS_CHECKSUM_KEY,
  // ... other options
});

Then you can interact with payOS Merchant API, example create a payment link using paymentRequests.create().

const paymentLink = await payos.paymentRequests.create({
  orderCode: 123,
  amount: 2000,
  description: 'payment',
  returnUrl: 'https://your-url.com',
  cancelUrl: 'https://your-url.com',
});

Webhook verification

You can register an endpoint to receive the payment webhook.

const confirmResult = await payos.webhooks.confirm('https://your-url.com/payos-webhook');

Then using webhooks.verify() to verify and receive webhook data.

const webhookData = await payos.webhooks.verify({
  code: '00',
  desc: 'success',
  success: true,
  data: {
    orderCode: 123,
    amount: 3000,
    description: 'VQRIO123',
    accountNumber: '12345678',
    reference: 'TF230204212323',
    transactionDateTime: '2023-02-04 18:25:00',
    currency: 'VND',
    paymentLinkId: '124c33293c43417ab7879e14c8d9eb18',
    code: '00',
    desc: 'Thành công',
    counterAccountBankId: '',
    counterAccountBankName: '',
    counterAccountName: '',
    counterAccountNumber: '',
    virtualAccountName: '',
    virtualAccountNumber: '',
  },
  signature: '8d8640d802576397a1ce45ebda7f835055768ac7ad2e0bfb77f9b8f12cca4c7f',
});

For more information about webhooks, see the API doc.

Handling errors

When the API return a non-success status code (i.e, 4xx or 5xx response) or non-success code data (any code except '00'), a class APIError or its subclass will be thrown:

payos
  .get({
    path: '/not-found',
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    if (err instanceof APIError) {
      console.log(err.name); // NotFoundError
      console.log(err.message); // HTTP 404, {}
      console.log(err.status); // 404
      console.log(err.headers); // {server: "nginx",...}
      console.log(err.code); // undefined
      console.log(err.desc); // undefined
    } else {
      throw err;
    }
  });

Auto pagination

List method in the payOS Merchant API are paginated, You can use the for await ... of syntax to iterate though items across all pages:

const allPayouts = [];
const payoutPage = await payos.payouts.list({ limit: 3 });
for await (const payout of payoutPage) {
  allPayouts.push(payout);
}
console.log(allPayouts);
// or
const payouts = await payoutPage.toArray();
console.log(payouts);

Or you can request single page at a time:

let page = await payos.payouts.list({
  limit: 3,
});
for (const payout of page.data) {
  console.log(payout);
}

while (page.hasNextPage()) {
  page = await page.getNextPage();
}

Advanced usage

Custom configuration

You can customize the PayOS client with various options:

const payos = new PayOS({
  clientId: process.env.PAYOS_CLIENT_ID,
  apiKey: process.env.PAYOS_API_KEY,
  checksumKey: process.env.PAYOS_CHECKSUM_KEY,
  partnerCode: process.env.PAYOS_PARTNER_CODE, // Optional partner code
  baseURL: 'https://api-merchant.payos.vn', // Custom base URL
  timeout: 30000, // Request timeout in milliseconds (default: 60000)
  maxRetries: 3, // Maximum retry attempts (default: 2)
  logLevel: 'info', // Log level: 'off', 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug'
  logger: console, // Custom logger implementation
  fetchOptions: {
    // Additional fetch options
    headers: {
      'Custom-Header': 'value',
    },
  },
});

Custom fetch implementation

You can provide a custom fetch implementation:

import fetch from 'node-fetch'; // or any other fetch implementation

const payos = new PayOS({
  clientId: process.env.PAYOS_CLIENT_ID,
  apiKey: process.env.PAYOS_API_KEY,
  checksumKey: process.env.PAYOS_CHECKSUM_KEY,
  fetch: fetch as any, // Custom fetch function
});

Request-level options

You can override client-level settings for individual requests:

const paymentLink = await payos.paymentRequests.create(
  {
    orderCode: 123,
    amount: 2000,
    description: 'payment',
    returnUrl: 'https://your-url.com',
    cancelUrl: 'https://your-url.com',
  },
  {
    maxRetries: 5, // Override default max retries
    timeout: 10000, // Override default timeout
    signal: abortController.signal, // AbortSignal for request cancellation
  },
);

Logging and debugging

The log level can be configured in two ways:

1. Via the PAYOS_LOG environment variable.
2. Using the logLevel client option (override the environment if set).

By default, this library logs to globalThis.console. You can also provide a custom logger. If your logger doesn't work, please open an issue.

import { createLogger } from 'winston';

const payos = new PayOS({
  clientId: process.env.PAYOS_CLIENT_ID,
  apiKey: process.env.PAYOS_API_KEY,
  checksumKey: process.env.PAYOS_CHECKSUM_KEY,
  logLevel: 'debug', // Enable debug logging
  logger: createLogger({
    level: 'debug',
    transports: [new transports.Console()],
  }),
});

Direct API access

For advanced use cases, you can make direct API calls:

// GET request
const response = await payos.get('/v2/payment-requests');

// POST request
const response = await payos.post('/v2/payment-requests', {
  body: {
    orderCode: 123,
    amount: 2000,
    description: 'payment',
    returnUrl: 'https://your-url.com',
    cancelUrl: 'https://your-url.com',
  },
});

// With custom options
const response = await payos.request({
  method: 'POST',
  path: '/v2/payment-requests',
  body: requestData,
  maxRetries: 3,
  timeout: 15000,
});

Signature

The signature can be manually created by PayOS.crypto:

// for create-payment-link signature
const signature = await payos.crypto.createSignatureOfPaymentRequest(data, payos.checksumKey);
// of
const signature = await payos.crypto.createSignatureFromObj(
  { amount, cancelUrl, description, orderCode, returnUrl },
  payos.checksumKey,
);

// for payment-requests and webhook signature
const signature = await payos.crypto.createSignatureFromObj(data, payos.checksumKey);

// for payouts signature
const signature = await payos.crypto.createSignature(payos.checksumKey, data);
