Implementing Chimoney’s INTERAC™ e-Transfer Bulk Payments (Javascript)

Let’s dive into how to integrate Chimoney’s Interac Bulk Payments into your Javascript application. The focus will be making a request to Chimoney's API to initiate INTERAC™ e-Transfer bulk payouts.

Step 1: Setting Up

First, ensure you have Node.js installed in your development environment. You’ll also need to install the axios package (or use fetch) for making HTTP requests, which can be done using npm:

npm install axios

Step 2: Make the INTERAC™ e-Transfer Bulk Payment API Request

Below is a simple Node.js script that demonstrates how to call the Chimoney INTERAC™ e-Transfer Bulk Payout endpoint. This script sends a bulk payout request.

const axios = require('axios');

const chimoneyApiKey = 'YOUR_CHIMONEY_API_KEY'; // Replace with your actual API key
const chimoneyBaseUrl = 'https://api.chimoney.io/v0.2/payouts/interac';

const payoutData = {
  debitCurrency: "CAD", // This can be USD, NGN or other supported currencies.
  interacs: [
    {
      email: "user@mail.com",
      name: "Jane Doe",
      amount: 10,
      narration: "Monthly Rent Payment"
    }
    // Add more recipients as needed
  ]
};

const sendPayouts = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await axios.post(chimoneyBaseUrl, payoutData, {
      headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${chimoneyApiKey}` }
    });
    console.log('Payout successful:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Payout failed:', error.response ? error.response.data : error.message);
  }
};

sendPayouts();
