QR Payment Intent

This library allows you to encode and decode QPI data objects. Note: it won't generate a QR image, it only creates what can be used as the content of the QR code, you'll have use a seperate library for generating QR codes.

Get started

npm install @paycashless/qpi.js

encode

This function encodes your payment intent data objects into a string that can be easily embeded in a QR code.

  import { QrPaymentIntent } from '@paycashless/qpi.js';

  const dataObjects = {
    version: '01',
    intentType: IntentType.static,
    merchantAccount: {
      accountNumber: '2200010702',
      nipCode: '090267'
    },
    merchantCategoryCode: '4111', // transportation
    countryCode: 'NG',
    merchantName: 'GRUBWAYS',
    merchantCity: 'ABUJA',
    postalCode: '900231',
    amount: '5000',
    currency: '566', // NGN
    additionalDataObjects: {
      storeLabel: '055',
      customerLabel: 'cust_2bt7pwl20mb25sa',
      terminalLabel: '05',
      reference: '567223',
      narration: 'FOOD DELIVERY',
      merchantChannel: '521' // online
    },
    paymentIntentDataObjects: {
      token: "tok_neojvjkwPrrpr9e03hplcag2ig5gpua8"
    },
  }

  const qpi = new QrPaymentIntent();
  const payload = qpi.encode(dataObjects);
  console.log(payload);

decode

This function allows you to decode a QR payment intent payload back to readable data objects

import { QrPaymentIntent } from '@paycashless/qpi.js';

const payload = '00020101021236470210220001070204060902670019org.paycashless.qpi520441115802NG5908GRUBWAYS6005ABUJA6106900231540450005303566627703030550620customer@example.com0702050512PAY_567228030813FOOD DELIVERY110352180630136tok_neojvjkwPrrpr9e03hplcag2ig5gpua80019org.paycashless.qpi630423C0';
const qpi = new QrPaymentIntent();
const dataObjects = qpi.decode(payload);
console.log(dataObjects);

interface DataObjects {
  version: string;

  checksum: string;
  merchantAccount: {
    schemeIdentifier: string;
    accountNumber: string;
    nipCode: string;

  },
}

merchantCategoryCode data object shall contain MCC as defined by ISO 18245

countryCode data object shall contain the country code of the merchant as defined by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
