Integrating SeerBit Payments in Angular

#webdev #angular #javascript #programming

SeerBit offers a powerful Angular library (seerbit-angular) that makes adding secure payment modals super easy. You can integrate as either a Component or Directive, depending on your design preference and styling needs.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have:

SeerBit merchant API

Step 1: Install the Library 

npm install --save seerbit-angular
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Import the Module

In your AppModule:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { NgSeerBitModule } from 'seerbit-angular';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule, NgSeerBitModule],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This makes SeerBit’s component and directive available in your templates.

Quick Tip: Need app.module.ts? Create a Module-Based Project

If you've noticed your project is missing app.module.ts, it's likely because you're using Angular 17+, where standalone components are the default. You can switch to a module-based structure by running:

ng new my-app --no-standalone --routing --ssr=false
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This creates a traditional setup with app.module.ts and app-routing.module.ts, letting you copy over any existing code into a familiar module architecture. There’s no automatic way to convert, so if AppModule is missing and you haven’t written much code yet, this is the simplest route.

Step 3: Set Up Your Component Logic

In app.component.ts:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'seerbit-angular-integration';

  options = {
    tranref: Date.now(),
    currency: 'NGN',
    description: 'Test payment',
    country: 'NG',
    email: 'you@example.com',
    mobile_no: '08012345678',
    full_name: 'Jane Doe',
    amount: 5000,
    setAmountByCustomer: false,
    close_prompt: false,
    close_on_success: false,
    callbackurl: 'https://yourapp.com/payment-callback',
    public_key: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE',
    customization: {
      theme: { border_color: '#000', background_color: '#004C64', button_color: '#0084A0' },
      payment_method: ['card', 'transfer', 'wallet', 'ussd'],
      display_fee: true,
      logo: 'your_logo_url_or_base64'
    },
    tokenize: false,
    planId: ''
  };

  PaymentDone(res: any) {
    console.log('Payment done:', res.response);
    res.closeModal();
  }

  PaymentCancel(res: any) {
    console.log('Payment cancelled:', res);
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Customize the options object with your merchant key and shopper info.

Step 4: Add the UI

As a Component

In app.component.html:

<main>
  <div class="content">
    <h1>SeerBit Angular Payment</h1>
    <seerbit-ng
      class="btn-pay"
      [options]="options"
      (callback)="PaymentDone($event)"
      (close)="PaymentCancel($event)">
      Pay Now
    </seerbit-ng>
  </div>
</main>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

As a Directive 

<main>
  <div class="content">
    <h1>Pay with SeerBit</h1>
    <button
      class="btn-pay"
      seerbit-ng
      [options]="options"
      (callback)="PaymentDone($event)"
      (close)="PaymentCancel($event)">
      Pay via SeerBit
    </button>
  </div>
</main>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Component vs directive is up to your styling preferences. Just ensure CSS is global if you need to style the custom element.

Step 5: Add Some Basic CSS

In styles.css (global):

.btn-pay {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 0.75rem 1.5rem;
  background-color: #0084A0;
  color: white;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 0.25rem;
  font-size: 1rem;
  cursor: pointer;
  text-align: center;
}

.btn-pay:hover {
  background-color: #006f88;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Component-scoped CSS won’t apply to seerbit-ng, so use global styles for classes used on it.

Step 6: Run & Test

Start your app:

ng serve
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Navigate to http://localhost:4200/, click your button, and test the payment flow. Check your console logs for PaymentDone or PaymentCancel.

Bonus: Shopping Cart Demo

The SeerBit GitHub repo includes a full shopping cart example: both directive and component versions integrated within a cart UI. It’s a great reference for real‑world use.

Summary

Integration Type Tag Used Good For
Component <seerbit-ng> When you want modal style
Directive seerbit-ng on <button> For custom buttons / styling

Super clear guide! Really appreciate the heads up about standalone vs module setup in newer Angular - have you run into any gotchas with SeerBit and SSR or dynamic component loading?

Thank you so much for the feedback. @dotallio
No, I haven't.
Did you get the error mentioned above when implementing the code?

very cool, i’ve wrestled with payment APIs and yours makes it look way easier
you ever hit edge cases where custom user flows run into trouble
