Getting Started

1. Sign Up: Visit the Transak Partner Dashboard and create an account to get your API key.

2. Choose Integration Method:

   • Direct URL Integration: The simplest approach:

     const transakUrl = new URL('https://global.transak.com/');
     transakUrl.searchParams.append('apiKey', 'YOUR_API_KEY');
     transakUrl.searchParams.append('defaultCryptoCurrency', 'AVAX');
     transakUrl.searchParams.append('network', 'avalanche');
     transakUrl.searchParams.append('walletAddress', userWalletAddress);
     
     window.open(transakUrl.href, '_blank');

   • SDK Integration: For web applications, add the Transak SDK to your project:

     npm install @transak/transak-sdk

     import transakSDK from '@transak/transak-sdk';
     
     const transak = new transakSDK({
       apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
       environment: 'PRODUCTION', // or 'STAGING' for testing
       defaultCryptoCurrency: 'AVAX',
       network: 'avalanche',
       walletAddress: userWalletAddress, // Pre-fill user's wallet
       themeColor: '000000', // Custom color in hex
       hostURL: window.location.origin,
       widgetHeight: '650px',
       widgetWidth: '450px',
       hideMenu: false,
       exchangeScreenTitle: 'Buy Crypto',
       disableWalletAddressForm: false,
     });
     
     transak.init();

3. Handle Events: Listen for transaction events:

   transak.on(transak.EVENTS.TRANSAK_WIDGET_CLOSE, () => {
     // Handle widget close
   });
   
   transak.on(transak.EVENTS.TRANSAK_ORDER_SUCCESSFUL, (orderData) => {
     // Handle successful purchase
     console.log(orderData);
   });
   
   transak.on(transak.EVENTS.TRANSAK_ORDER_FAILED, (orderData) => {
     // Handle failed purchase
     console.log(orderData);
   });

4. Set Up Webhooks (Optional): Implement server-side webhooks to receive transaction updates:

   // Example Express.js webhook handler
   app.post('/transak-webhook', (req, res) => {
     const payload = req.body;
     
     if (payload.status === 'COMPLETED') {
       // Process completed transaction
     }
     
     res.status(200).send('Webhook received');
   });

5. Test in Staging: Use the staging environment with test cards to verify your integration before going live.
