Remember the sinking feeling? Not too long ago, while spearheading the development of an e-commerce platform with its heart set on the vibrant markets of East Africa, I slammed headfirst into the wall of payment gateway integration. The global giants — Braintree, PayPal, the names you know — all presented the same frustrating barrier: geographical restrictions that locked out developer configurations from our region. Even Flutterwave, a local contender from Nigeria, often felt like navigating a maze of its own making, riddled with unexpected bottlenecks.
Then, a beacon of accessibility emerged: Pesapal. Finally, a gateway that understood our landscape, seamlessly supporting the mobile money, card payments, and bank transfers that power commerce across East Africa. However, the search for a reliable and up-to-date Node.js SDK proved surprisingly challenging. Many of the existing npm libraries for Pesapal appeared outdated, lacked recent maintenance, or didn’t fully embrace the latest API standards. This often left developers like myself piecing together solutions and wrestling with potentially deprecated features.
This gap — the need for a modern, actively maintained, and developer-friendly Node.js SDK for Pesapal — sparked an idea, a need I knew countless other developers across the continent must have felt. That’s when the idea for pesapal3-sdk took root. I envisioned a truly plug-and-play Node.js SDK for Pesapal 3.0 – built with the rigor of TypeScript from the outset to ensure type safety and developer sanity. To maintain code excellence, I baked in ESLint right from the start. The entire lifecycle, from crafting the core logic to packaging and shipping the library, was meticulously automated. And to make it instantly accessible to the Node.js community, I proudly published pesapal3-sdk as an npm library, accompanied by a dedicated, easy-to-navigate documentation website. My mission? To address the shortcomings of older libraries and banish Pesapal payment integration headaches with a modern solution, empowering developers like us to build the future of African commerce, effortlessly
