Payment module

Payment module implements payment gateway integration of an application. It provides one time payment and recurring payment options.

Supports Stripe, PayPal, 2Checkout, PayU, Iyzico and Alipay payment gateways.

See the module description page for an overview of the module features.

How to install

Payment module is not installed in the startup templates. So, it needs to be installed manually. There are two ways of installing a module into your application.

Using ABP CLI

ABP CLI allows adding a module to a solution using add-module command. You can check its documentation for more information. So, payment module can be added using the command below;

abp add-module Volo.Payment

Manual Installation

If you modified your solution structure, adding module using ABP CLI might not work for you. In such cases, payment module can be added to a solution manually.

In order to do that, add packages listed below to matching project on your solution. For example, Volo.Payment.Application package to your {ProjectName}.Application.csproj like below;

<PackageReference Include="Volo.Payment.Application" Version="x.x.x" />

After adding the package reference, open the module class of the project (eg: {ProjectName}ApplicationModule) and add the below code to the DependsOn attribute.

[DependsOn(
  //...
  typeof(AbpPaymentApplicationModule)
)]

Supported Gateway Packages

In order to use a Payment Gateway, you need to add related NuGet packages to your related project as explained in Manual Installation section above and add DependsOn to your related module. For example, if you don't want to use PayU, you don't have to use its NuGet packages.

After adding packages of a payment gateway to your application, you also need to configure global payment module options and options for the payment modules you have added. See the Options section below.

Creating a custom payment gateway

If you require a different payment gateway than existing ones, you can create a custom payment gateway by your own. 2 steps are required to create a custom payment gateway. First is creating a payment gateway object that implements IPaymentGateway. This interface exposes core payment operations without any UI. Second step is creating UI for the payment gateway. This UI is used to redirect user to payment gateway and validate payment.

Follow the instructions here to create a custom payment gateway.

Packages

This module follows the module development best practices guide and consists of several NuGet and NPM packages. See the guide if you want to understand the packages and relations between them.

You can visit Payment module package list page to see list of packages related with this module.

Entity Extensions

Module entity extension system is a high-level extension system that allows you to define new properties for existing entities of the dependent modules. It automatically adds properties to the entity, database, HTTP API and user interface in a single point.

To extend entities of the payment module, open your YourProjectNameModuleExtensionConfigurator class inside of your DomainShared project and change the ConfigureExtraProperties method like shown below.

public static void ConfigureExtraProperties()
{
    OneTimeRunner.Run(() =>
    {
        ObjectExtensionManager.Instance.Modules()
            .ConfigurePayment(payment =>
            {
                payment.ConfigurePlan(plan => // extend the Plan entity
                {
                    plan.AddOrUpdateProperty<string>( //property type: string
                      "PlanDescription", //property name
                      property => {
                        //validation rules
                        property.Attributes.Add(new RequiredAttribute()); //adds required attribute to the defined property

                        //...other configurations for this property
                      }
                    );
                });
              
              payment.ConfigureGatewayPlan(gatewayPlan => // extend the GatewayPlan entity
                {
                    gatewayPlan.AddOrUpdateProperty<string>( //property type: string
                      "GatewayPlanDescription", //property name
                      property => {
                        //validation rules
                        property.Attributes.Add(new RequiredAttribute()); //adds required attribute to the defined property
                        property.Attributes.Add(
                          new StringLengthAttribute(MyConsts.MaximumDescriptionLength) {
                            MinimumLength = MyConsts.MinimumDescriptionLength
                          }
                        );

                        //...other configurations for this property
                      }
                    );
                });     
            });
    });
}

ConfigurePayment(...) method is used to configure the entities of the payment module.
payment.ConfigurePlan(...) is used to configure the Plan entity of the payment module. You can add or update your extra properties of the Plan entity.
payment.ConfigureGatewayPlan(...) is used to configure the GatewayPlan entity of the payment module. You can add or update your extra properties of the GatewayPlan entity.
You can also set some validation rules for the property that you defined. In the above sample, RequiredAttribute and StringLengthAttribute were added for the property named "GatewayPlanDescription".
When you define the new property, it will automatically add to Entity, HTTP API and UI for you.
- Once you define a property, it appears in the create and update forms of the related entity.
- New properties also appear in the datatable of the related page.

One-Time Payments

This module implements one-time payments;

Supports Stripe, PayPal, 2Checkout, PayU and Iyzico payment gateways.

You can get one-time payments from your customers using one or more payment gateways supported by the payment module. Payment module works in a very simple way for one-time payments. It creates a local payment request record and redirects customer to payment gateway (PayPal, Stripe etc...) for processing the payment. When the customer pays on the payment gateway, payment module handles the external payment gateway's response and validates the payment to see if it is really paid or not. If the payment is validated, payment module redirects customer to main application which initiated the payment process at the beginning.

Image below demonstrates the flow of a payment process;

payment-module-flow

Each payment gateway implementation contains PrePayment and PostPayment pages.

PrePayment page asks users for extra information if requested by the external payment gateway. For example, 2Checkout doesn't require any extra information, so PrePayment page for 2Checkout redirects user to 2Checkout without asking any extra information.

PostPayment page is responsible for validation of the response of the external payment gateway. When a user completes the payment, user is redirected to PostPayment page for that payment gateway and PostPayment page validates the status of the payment. If the payment is succeeded, status of the payment request is updated and user is redirected to main application.

Note: It is main application's responsibility to handle if a payment request is used more than one time. For example if PostPayment page generates a URL like https://mywebsite.com/PaymentSucceed?PaymentRequestId={PaymentRequestId}, this URL can be visited more than onec manually by end users. If you already delivered your product for a given PaymentRequestId, you shouldn't deliver it when this URL is visited second time.

Creating One-Time Payment

In order to initiate a payment process, inject IPaymentRequestAppService, create a payment request using it's CreateAsync method and redirect user to gateway selection page with the created payment request's Id. Here is a sample Razor Page code which starts a payment process on it's OnPost method.

Redirection of the gateway selection page has to be a POST request. If you implement it as a GET request, you will get an error. You can use LocalRedirectPreserveMethod to keep the method as POST in the redirected request.

public class IndexModel: PageModel
{
    private readonly IPaymentRequestAppService _paymentRequestAppService;

    public IndexModel(IPaymentRequestAppService paymentRequestAppService)
    {
        _paymentRequestAppService = paymentRequestAppService;
    }

    public virtual async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync()
    {
        var paymentRequest = await _paymentRequestAppService.CreateAsync(new PaymentRequestCreateDto()
        {
            Currency= "USD",
            Products = new List<PaymentRequestProductCreateDto>()
            {
                new PaymentRequestProductCreateDto
                {
                    Code = "Product_01",
                    Name = "LEGO Super Mario",
                    Count = 2,
                    UnitPrice = 60,
                    TotalPrice = 200
                }
            }
        });
        
        return LocalRedirectPreserveMethod("/Payment/GatewaySelection?paymentRequestId=" + paymentRequest.Id);
    }
}

If the payment is successful, payment module will return to configured PaymentWebOptions.CallbackUrl. The main application can take necessary actions for a successful payment (Activating a user account, triggering a shipment start process etc...).

Subscriptions

This module also implements recurring payments;

Supports only Stripe for now.

You can start a subscription and get recurring payment from your customers using payment gateways supported by this module. It works different from one-time payment. Payment module works with events over webhooks of selected gateway. It creates a local payment request record like one-time payment, but it tracks that payment request in every period that customer pays and publishes events for cancels, updates and continues.

payment-module-flow

Enabling WebHooks

Configuring Web Hooks is highly important for subscriptions otherwise your application won't be able to get subscription changes, such as canceled or updated states. Each gateway has its own configuration:

Stripe

Go to WebHooks on Stripe Dashboard
Create a new webhook via using Add endpoint button.
- Endpoint URL: yourdomain.com/api/payment/stripe/webhook
- Events to send:
  - customer.subscription.created
  - customer.subscription.deleted
  - customer.subscription.updated
  - checkout.session.completed (optional) If you don't set this, payment will be proceed with callback.
Stripe will create a webhook secret key. Copy that and configure it as WebhookSecret under StripeOptions.

Configuring Plans

Before starting a recurring payment, Plan and GatewayPlan must be configured properly.

Go to your payment gateway (Stripe) dashboard and create product & pricing.
Create a Plan entity in your application.
Go to 'Manage Gateway Plans' section and create a new GatewayPlan for gateway and paste price or product id as ExternalId.

Creating a Tenant-Edition Subscription

Follow saas documentation.

Creating a Recurring Payment

Creating a recurring payment almost same as creating a payment. Setting PaymentType property as Recurring and passing PlanId are enough to start a recurring payment request. If given Plan has multiple GatewayPlan, user will be able to choose gateway to pay.

Redirection of the gateway selection page has to be a POST request. If you implement it as a GET request, you will get an error. You can use LocalRedirectPreserveMethod to keep the method as POST in the redirected request.

public class SubscriptionModel : PageModel
{
    private IPaymentRequestAppService PaymentRequestAppService { get; }

    public SubscriptionModel(IPaymentRequestAppService paymentRequestAppService)
    {
        PaymentRequestAppService = paymentRequestAppService;
    }

    public virtual async Task<IActionResult> OnPostAsync()
    {
        var paymentRequest = await PaymentRequestAppService.CreateAsync(
            new PaymentRequestCreateDto()
            {
                Products =
                {
                    new PaymentRequestProductCreateDto
                    {
                        PaymentType = PaymentType.Subscription,
                        Name = "Enterprise Plan",
                        Code = "EP",
                        Count = 1,
                        // Place your created PlanId below.
                        PlanId = DemoAppData.Plan_2_Id, 
                    }
                }
            });

        return LocalRedirectPreserveMethod("/Payment/GatewaySelection?paymentRequestId=" + paymentRequest.Id);
    }
}

To track that subscription is continuing or canceled, you should keep the SubscriptionId, all events contain it.
