Paystack

Accept payments, manage subscriptions, and send transfers via the Paystack API

Paystack is a payments infrastructure provider widely used across Africa and beyond. CipherSense Agents connects to Paystack via your secret key, letting workflow nodes initialize and verify transactions, manage customers and subscription plans, initiate bank transfers, and process refunds. Paystack supports NGN, GHS, ZAR, and USD — amounts are always in the smallest currency unit (e.g. kobo for NGN).

Setup

1

Get your Paystack secret key

Sign in to the Paystack Dashboard and go to Settings > API Keys & Webhooks. Copy your Secret Key (sk_live_... for production or sk_test_... for testing). Keep it secure — never expose it in client-side code.

2

Add the integration in CipherSense Agents

Go to Project > Integrations > Add Integration > Paystack. Paste your secret key and click Save & Test to validate the connection.

3

(Optional) Set up webhooks to trigger workflows

In Paystack Dashboard > Settings > API Keys & Webhooks, add your webhook URL (e.g. https://your-domain/api/integrations/paystack/webhook). Paystack will POST signed events such as charge.success, transfer.success, and subscription.create to this URL. Use a workflow trigger node to react to these events in real time.

4

Build your workflow

Drop a Paystack node onto the canvas and select an operation. Wire the email or customer_id output from upstream nodes into the relevant fields. Use initialize_transaction to generate a checkout URL, then pass that URL to a downstream notification node.
