Hi there, glad to have you on this space. Today we will be building a simple e-commerce app, “Merce” in NodeJs and ExpressJS (backend) and VueJs (front-end) that showcases dummy products and allows a customer pay using Monnify’s One Time Payments feature.
This is what we will be building
By the end of this tutorial we will achieve the following:
Create Merce's front-end to interact with the products and make payment.
Create Merce’s backend server in NodeJs to serve APIs for the front-end and to integrate with Monnify
Checkout and pay for a dummy product
Create a web-hook api to receive notifications of transactions.
Let’s begin
Sign up on Monnify
We will be needing the api key and secret in order to authenticate and interact with the Monnify apis. To this effect, head on to the monnify platform and sign up. After verifying your email, sign in and navigate to the settings area on your dashboard.
Let’s kick off the backend server. Excited!
