Node SDK
Buckaroo is the Payment Service Provider for all your online payments, with more than 15,000 companies relying on Buckaroo's platform to securely process their payments, subscriptions, and unpaid invoices.
Buckaroo has developed their own Node SDK. This SDK is a modern, open-source Node.js library that makes it easy to integrate your JavaScript application with Buckaroo's services.

Installation
npm install @buckaroo/buckaroo_sdk
Example
Initiate the Buckaroo Client
Initiate the Buckaroo client with your website key and secret key. These keys can be obtained from your Buckaroo account.
import Buckaroo from '@buckaroo/buckaroo_sdk';
const buckarooClient = Buckaroo.InitializeClient(
{
secretKey: 'KEY',
websiteKey: 'SECRET',
},
{
mode: 'TEST', // OR 'LIVE'
currency: 'EUR',
returnURL: 'RETURN_URL',
pushURL: 'PUSH_URL',
}
);
Create a Payment
Create a payment with all the available payment methods. In this example, we show how to create a credit card payment. Each payment has a slightly different payload.
const payment = await buckarooClient
.method('mastercard')
.pay({
amountDebit: 100,
})
.request();
Retrieve Transaction Information
After you create a transaction, you can retrieve several transaction information on demand.
const transaction = buckarooClient.transaction(payment.getTransactionKey());
await transaction.status(); // Retrieve transaction status
await transaction.refundInfo(); // Retrieve refund info
await transaction.cancelInfo(); // Retrieve cancellation info
Usage Outside of Node.js
This library is written in JavaScript, a versatile programming language with broad applicability. While it's technically possible to integrate this library into a website or mobile application, it's strongly advised against doing so.
In the standard configuration, you make requests to the Buckaroo API using one of our provided libraries, typically from your server (such as a Node.js server). Your secret key is securely stored on this server, inaccessible to external entities.
However, if you incorporate this library directly into a website or app, your secret key will be exposed to users. This could enable users to take action on your behalf using that key.
