No help on this anywhere like this problem doesn't exist, even after copying the payment flow on the docs to replicate the possible success, Infact I will prefer to just generate payment link like stripe and paypal does instead of processing the payments myself. But this library doesn't seems to do that.
Bugs are just everywhere on the platform, tried using flutterwave standard, Its returning "str.replace is not a function" imagine. tried ravepay.co, I am just tried at this point
Hello @azeez010, how are you making your request ? Can you drop the code snippet.
I was having similar issue str.replace is not a function
, which i just resolved.
So here is how I was able to get past this error:
First off, I checked this library documentation, i couldn't find anywhere it was documented to generate payment link ( i must've missed it or it's not included yet ), so my implementation was solely through httpx
library ( requests
library can also work in this case or any other http client library ).
request_headers = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {SK}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json' # <--- without this i got str.replace is not a function error
}
data = json.dumps({ # <- without this json.dumps() i got server error from flutterwave
"redirect_url": "https://your-redirect-url",
"tx_ref": transaction_ref,
"customer": customer,
"amount": amount,
})
Thanks @spaceofmiah, I appreciate your kind gesture, I already fixed the str.replace error, even I had made mistake the error response was too vague and doesn't help. I solve the issue by passing the data to the Json argument not body
requests.post(headers=headers, Json=data) instead of body=data, what I eventually noticed was that the str.replace error was happening because the line probably got null value instead of a string, but I am not closing this because the card issues hasn't been responded to, some might need this
Hello @azeez010
Thank you for sharing how you resolved this. We definitely would look into improving the error messaging so the corrective steps are intuitive.
@spaceofmiah Thank you for helping out with the issue.
I have tried all I could but it throws an exception without specifying what to fix. Why can't this library just generate a payment link? See this error, it;'s very vague "Your card charge call failed with message: An error occured while attempting to decrypt some parameter" How is this supposed to be helpful, I am very frustrated and angry rn. Which parameter is it trying to decrypt? is it my fault? is it the test cards? I don't know, somebody pls help.
