How to Fetch All Customer Transactions Using Paystack API

Integrating payment processing into an application is a crucial part of providing a seamless user experience. If you have recently integrated the Paystack API but are struggling to retrieve a customer’s transaction history, you’re not alone. A common issue faced by developers is fetching transaction records for a specific customer, particularly when the API doesn’t return the expected data. Let’s break down the solution to this common problem step by step.

Understanding the Problem

When you integrated Paystack into your mobile app, you probably expected to fetch a customer's transaction history easily. However, you might have noticed that simply attempting to call the URL:

only returns general customer data without transactions. This is a frequent hurdle, especially in test mode where certain features may behave differently than in production.

Solution: Fetching Transactions Using the Paystack API

To effectively retrieve transactions for a specific customer, you need to make a call to the correct API endpoint specifically designed for fetching transactions. Follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Grab the Customer ID

Before you can fetch the transactions, you need the Customer ID. If you already have a customer registered in Paystack, you can obtain this ID by calling the Get Customer endpoint as follows:

This call returns a list of customers, including their IDs. Look for the customer whose transactions you want to retrieve.

Step 2: Fetch Transactions

Once you have the Customer ID, it's time to fetch their transactions. You will use the following endpoint to do this:

Replace YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID with the actual ID you obtained from the previous step. This call will return all transactions associated with that customer.

Important Note on API Responses

Ensure that your API key is valid and has the necessary permissions.

If you are in test mode, verify that the customer has conducted transactions while in that mode, as transactions made in production will not show up in the test environment.

Example Request

If your customer ID is 113957392, the request would look like this:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to fetch the transaction history of your customers effectively. This functionality is crucial for checking transaction statuses and unlocking features based on user history. Paystack provides robust documentation that can further assist you in navigating their API, so refer back to that if you run into any issues.

Implement this in your application, and enhance your users' experience by managing their transaction data efficiently!
