Quick Reference

Installation

bun add abacatepay-nodejs-sdk

Environment Variables

ABACATEPAY_API_KEY="abp_live_..."      # API key from dashboard
ABACATEPAY_WEBHOOK_SECRET="whsec_..."  # Webhook secret
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL="https://..."      # For callback URLs

SDK Initialization

import AbacatePay from "abacatepay-nodejs-sdk";
const abacate = AbacatePay(process.env.ABACATEPAY_API_KEY!);

Common Tasks

1. Create a PIX Payment

const response = await abacate.billing.create({
  frequency: "ONE_TIME",
  methods: ["PIX"],
  products: [{
    externalId: "plan-pro",
    name: "Plano Pro",
    quantity: 1,
    price: 2990, // R$ 29,90 in centavos
  }],
  customer: {
    email: "[email protected]",
    name: "João Silva",
  },
  returnUrl: "https://app.com/pricing",
  completionUrl: "https://app.com/billing/success",
});

// response.data: { id, url, status, amount }

2. Create PIX QR Code (Direct)

const response = await abacate.pixQrCode.create({
  amount: 2990, // R$ 29,90
  expiresIn: 3600, // 1 hour
  description: "Payment description",
});

// response.data: { id, brCode, brCodeBase64, status, expiresAt }

3. Check Payment Status

const response = await abacate.pixQrCode.check({ id: "pix_abc123" });
// response.data.status: "PENDING" | "PAID" | "EXPIRED" | "CANCELLED"

4. Simulate Payment (Dev Mode)

await abacate.pixQrCode.simulatePayment({ id: "pix_abc123" });

Webhook Handling

Signature Verification (HMAC-SHA256)

import crypto from "crypto";

function validateSignature(payload: string, signature: string, secret: string): boolean {
  const expected = crypto
    .createHmac("sha256", secret)
    .update(payload)
    .digest("hex");
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected));
}

Webhook Events

Webhook Payload Structure

interface WebhookPayload {
  id: string;              // Event ID (use for idempotency)
  event: string;           // Event type
  devMode: boolean;        // True if test environment
  data: {
    billing?: {
      id: string;
      amount: number;
      status: string;
    };
  };
}

Testing Checklist

• Environment variables configured
• SDK connects successfully
• Checkout creates billing and returns URL
• Webhook receives events (use AbacatePay dashboard)
• Payment status updates correctly
• Subscription created after payment
• Idempotency prevents duplicates
