Squad Payment Modal
Squad Payment Modal provides an easy and convenient payment flow. It is the simplest way to securely collect payments from your customers without them leaving your website. The customer will be shown all the payment methods you have selected.
It can be integrated with simple steps, by copying the code in the embedded section and pasting it on your page; making it the easiest way to accept payments. It works across devices and can help increase your conversion.
To initialize a transaction, you need to pass details such as email, first name, last name, amount, transaction reference, etc. Email, amount, and currency are required. You can also pass any other additional information in the
metadata
object field. The following is a complete list of parameters that you can pass:PARAMETERS | REQUIRED? | DESCRIPTION |

function SquadPay() {

onLoad: () => console.log("Widget loaded successfully"),
onSuccess: () => console.log(`Linked successfully`),
key: "test_pk_sample-public-key-1",

}
When the customer clicks on the
submit
button, initiate a transaction by passing the necessary details (email, amount, and any other parameters) to Squad through to a JavaScript function. function SquadPay() {
const squadInstance = new squad({
onClose: () => console.log("Widget closed"),
onLoad: () => console.log("Widget loaded successfully"),
onSuccess: () => console.log(`Linked successfully`),
key: "test_pk_sample-public-key-1",
//Change key (test_pk_sample-public-key-1) to the key on your Squad Dashboard
email: document.getElementById("email-address").value,
amount: document.getElementById("amount").value * 100,
//Enter amount in Naira or Dollar (Base value Kobo/cent already multiplied by 100)
currency_code: "NGN"
});
squadInstance.setup();
squadInstance.open();
}
A checkout modal will pop-up with different payment options for the customer to choose and input their payment information to complete the transaction.
- 1.The
key
field takes your Squad key. - 2.By default, the
amount
field is already set in the lowest currency unit (kobo, cent). That is, to pay NGN100, you have to enter 10000 in the amount field. To convertamount
to the base currency (Naira, Dollar), multiply the amount parameter by100
in your code, amount: document.getElementById("amount").value * 100, This will allow you enter the amount in Naira or Dollar as the case may be.
After initialization, there are a couple of payment channels available to the customer to complete the transaction.
The USSD channel allows your Nigerian customers to pay you by dialing the USSD code on their mobile devices. Nigerian banks provide USSD services for customers to use for transactions, and we have integrated with some of these banks to allow your customers to complete payments.

After dialing the USSD code displayed, the system will prompt the user to input the USSD PIN to authenticate the transaction and then confirm it. All that is needed to initiate USSD payment is the customer's email and the amount to be charged. When the user makes a payment, the response will be sent to your webhook.
Here is a list of all the Banks USSD
