Documentation

Usage

Prerequisites

First sign up for a developer account. Follow the instructions to set up a new application and obtain your Client ID and Secret. Once the application has been created you must add your application redirected URIs in order to test your integration end-to-end.

Next, generate a signing key pair used to sign API requests.

To generate a private key, run:

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/out -w /out -it alpine/openssl ecparam -genkey -name secp521r1 -noout -out ec512-private-key.pem

To obtain the public key, run:

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/out -w /out -it alpine/openssl ec -in ec512-private-key.pem -pubout -out ec512-public-key.pem

Navigate to the Payments settings section of the TrueLayer console and upload your public key. Obtain the Key Id.

Configure Settings

Add your Client ID, Secret and Signing Key ID to appsettings.json or any other supported configuration provider.

{
  "TrueLayer": {
    "ClientId": "your id",
    "ClientSecret": "your secret",
    "UseSandbox": true,
    "Payments": {
      "SigningKey": {
        "KeyId": "85eeb2da-702c-4f4b-bf9a-e98af5fd47c3"
      }
    }
  }
}

Initialize TrueLayer.NET

Register the TrueLayer client in Startup.cs or Program.cs (.NET 6.0):

public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddTrueLayer(configuration, options =>
    {
        if (options.Payments?.SigningKey != null)
        {
            // For demo purposes only. Private key should be stored securely
            options.Payments.SigningKey.PrivateKey = File.ReadAllText("ec512-private-key.pem");
        }
    });
}

Alternatively you can create a class that implements IConfigureOptions<TrueLayerOptions> if you have more complex configuration requirements.

Make a payment

Inject ITrueLayerClient into your classes:

public class MyService
{
    private readonly ITrueLayerClient _client;

    public MyService(ITrueLayerClient client)
    {
        _client = client;
    }

    public async Task<ActionResult> MakePayment()
    {
        var paymentRequest = new CreatePaymentRequest(
            amountInMinor: amount.ToMinorCurrencyUnit(2),
            currency: Currencies.GBP,
            paymentMethod: new PaymentMethod.BankTransfer(
                new Provider.UserSelected
                {
                    Filter = new ProviderFilter
                    {
                        ProviderIds = new[] { "mock-payments-gb-redirect" }
                    }
                },
                new Beneficiary.ExternalAccount(
                    "TrueLayer",
                    "truelayer-dotnet",
                    new AccountIdentifier.SortCodeAccountNumber("567890", "12345678")
                )
            ),
            user: new PaymentUserRequest("Jane Doe", "[email protected]", "0123456789")
        );

        var apiResponse = await _client.Payments.CreatePayment(
            paymentRequest,
            idempotencyKey: Guid.NewGuid().ToString()
        );

        if (!apiResponse.IsSuccessful)
        {
            return HandleFailure(
                apiResponse.StatusCode,
                // Includes details of any errors
                apiResponse.Problem
            )
        }

        // Pass the ResourceToken to the TrueLayer Web or Mobile SDK

        // or, redirect to the TrueLayer Hosted Payment Page
        string hostedPaymentPageUrl = _client.Payments.CreateHostedPaymentPageLink(
            apiResponse.Data!.Id,
            apiResponse.Data!.ResourceToken,
            new Uri("https://redirect.yourdomain.com"));

        return Redirect(hostedPaymentPageUrl);
    }
}

Retrieve provider details

Inject ITrueLayerClient into your classes:

public class MyService
{
    private readonly ITrueLayerClient _client;

    public MyService(ITrueLayerClient client)
    {
        _client = client;
    }

    public async Task<ActionResult> GetProvider(string id)
    {
        var apiResponse = await _client.PaymentsProviders.GetPaymentsProvider(id);

        if (!apiResponse.IsSuccessful)
        {
            return HandleFailure(
                apiResponse.StatusCode,
                // Includes details of any errors
                apiResponse.Problem
            )
        }

        return OkObjectResult(apiResponse.Data.Id);
    }
}

    }

    public async Task<ActionResult> MakePayout()
    {
        var payoutRequest = new CreatePayoutRequest(
            merchantAccountId: "VALID_MERCHANT_ID",
            amountInMinor: amount.ToMinorCurrencyUnit(2),
            currency: Currencies.GBP,
