Github Code : here

Now just follow these steps:

Create a new folder and open it in VS Code.

npm init -y (this will create package.json file)
npm i express nodemon (this will install express and nodemon)
Open the paytm website here a > Login with your paytm account
Go to Developer Settings
Click on API Keys

or,

- Go to [here](https://business.paytm.com/integration-builder/account-setup)
- Copy the Merchant ID and Merchant Key

Change the script in package.json to "start": "nodemon index.js"
```
"scripts": {
"start": "nodemon index.js"
},
```
Create a file named index.js and paste the following code.

const express = require("express");

const https = require("https");
const qs = require("querystring");

const app = express();

const parseUrl = express.urlencoded({ extended: false });
const parseJson = express.json({ extended: false });

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 4000;

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html");
});

app.post("/paynow", [parseUrl, parseJson], (req, res) => {
  // Route for making payment

  var paymentDetails = {
    amount: req.body.amount,
    customerId: req.body.name,
    customerEmail: req.body.email,
    customerPhone: req.body.phone,
  };
  if (
    !paymentDetails.amount ||
    !paymentDetails.customerId ||
    !paymentDetails.customerEmail ||
    !paymentDetails.customerPhone

      function (err, checksum) {
        var txn_url =

        );
        res.end();
      }
    );
  }
});

app.post("/callback", (req, res) => {
  // Route for verifiying payment

  var body = "";

  req.on("data", function (data) {
    body += data;
  });

  req.on("end", function () {
    var html = "";
    var post_data = qs.parse(body);

    // received params in callback
    console.log("Callback Response: ", post_data, "n");

    // verify the checksum
    var checksumhash = post_data.CHECKSUMHASH;

        post_data = "JsonData=" + JSON.stringify(params);

        var options = {

        post_req.end();
      }
    );
  });
});

app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`App is listening on Port ${PORT}`);
});

Create a file named index.html and paste the following code.

<!DOCTYPE html>

Hit npm start to start the server.

The browser will display a form "name email phone number.".

If you simple open the html file you will see in the form action is /paynow and method is post so it will send the data to the server and the server will send the data to the paytm server and the paytm server will send the response to the server and the server will send the response to the browser.

And now you need to make the Paytm folder and inside it you need to create the checksum.js file and copy the following code

Paytm/checksum.js

"use strict";

var crypt = require('./crypt');
var util = require('util');
var crypto = require('crypto');

//mandatory flag: when it set, only mandatory parameters are added to checksum

function paramsToString(params, mandatoryflag) {
  var data = '';
  var tempKeys = Object.keys(params);
  tempKeys.sort();
  tempKeys.forEach(function (key) {
  var n = params[key].includes("REFUND"); 
   var m = params[key].includes("|");  
        if(n == true )
        {
          params[key] = "";
        }
          if(m == true)
        {
          params[key] = "";
        }  
    if (key !== 'CHECKSUMHASH' ) {
      if (params[key] === 'null') params[key] = '';
      if (!mandatoryflag || mandatoryParams.indexOf(key) !== -1) {
        data += (params[key] + '|');
      }
    }
});
  return data;
}


function genchecksum(params, key, cb) {
  var data = paramsToString(params);
crypt.gen_salt(4, function (err, salt) {
    var sha256 = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(data + salt).digest('hex');
    var check_sum = sha256 + salt;
    var encrypted = crypt.encrypt(check_sum, key);
    cb(undefined, encrypted);
  });
}
function genchecksumbystring(params, key, cb) {

  crypt.gen_salt(4, function (err, salt) {
    var sha256 = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(params + '|' + salt).digest('hex');
    var check_sum = sha256 + salt;
    var encrypted = crypt.encrypt(check_sum, key);

     var CHECKSUMHASH = encodeURIComponent(encrypted);
     CHECKSUMHASH = encrypted;
    cb(undefined, CHECKSUMHASH);
  });
}

function verifychecksum(params, key, checksumhash) {
  var data = paramsToString(params, false);

  //TODO: after PG fix on thier side remove below two lines
  if (typeof checksumhash !== "undefined") {
    checksumhash = checksumhash.replace('n', '');
    checksumhash = checksumhash.replace('r', '');
    var temp = decodeURIComponent(checksumhash);
    var checksum = crypt.decrypt(temp, key);
    var salt = checksum.substr(checksum.length - 4);
    var sha256 = checksum.substr(0, checksum.length - 4);
    var hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(data + salt).digest('hex');
    if (hash === sha256) {
      return true;
    } else {
      util.log("checksum is wrong");
      return false;
    }
  } else {
    util.log("checksum not found");
    return false;
  }
}

function verifychecksumbystring(params, key,checksumhash) {

    var checksum = crypt.decrypt(checksumhash, key);
    var salt = checksum.substr(checksum.length - 4);
    var sha256 = checksum.substr(0, checksum.length - 4);
    var hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(params + '|' + salt).digest('hex');
    if (hash === sha256) {
      return true;
    } else {
      util.log("checksum is wrong");
      return false;
    }
  } 

function genchecksumforrefund(params, key, cb) {
  var data = paramsToStringrefund(params);
crypt.gen_salt(4, function (err, salt) {
    var sha256 = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(data + salt).digest('hex');
    var check_sum = sha256 + salt;
    var encrypted = crypt.encrypt(check_sum, key);
      params.CHECKSUM = encodeURIComponent(encrypted);
    cb(undefined, params);
  });
}

function paramsToStringrefund(params, mandatoryflag) {
  var data = '';
  var tempKeys = Object.keys(params);
  tempKeys.sort();
  tempKeys.forEach(function (key) {
   var m = params[key].includes("|");  
          if(m == true)
        {
          params[key] = "";
        }  
    if (key !== 'CHECKSUMHASH' ) {
      if (params[key] === 'null') params[key] = '';
      if (!mandatoryflag || mandatoryParams.indexOf(key) !== -1) {
        data += (params[key] + '|');
      }
    }
});
  return data;
}

module.exports.genchecksum = genchecksum;
module.exports.verifychecksum = verifychecksum;
module.exports.verifychecksumbystring = verifychecksumbystring;
module.exports.genchecksumbystring = genchecksumbystring;
module.exports.genchecksumforrefund = genchecksumforrefund;

Now you need to create the config.js file inside the Paytm folder and copy the following code

var PaytmConfig = {
  mid: "####yourmid#####",
  key: "###yourkey#####",
  website: "##yourwebsite##",
};
module.exports.PaytmConfig = PaytmConfig;

Note: You need to replace the mid and key with your own mid and key and website with your own website

Now you need to create the crypt.js file inside the Paytm folder and copy the following code

"use strict";

var crypto = require('crypto');
var util = require('util');

var crypt = {
  iv: '@@@@&&&&####$$',

  encrypt: function (data,custom_key) {
    var iv = this.iv;
    var key = custom_key;
    var algo = '256';
    switch (key.length) {
    case 16:
      algo = '128';
      break;
    case 24:
      algo = '192';
      break;
    case 32:
      algo = '256';
      break;

    }
    var cipher = crypto.createCipheriv('AES-' + algo + '-CBC', key, iv);
    //var cipher = crypto.createCipher('aes256',key);
    var encrypted = cipher.update(data, 'binary', 'base64');
    encrypted += cipher.final('base64');
    return encrypted;
  },

  decrypt: function (data,custom_key) {
    var iv = this.iv;
    var key = custom_key;
    var algo = '256';
    switch (key.length) {
    case 16:
      algo = '128';
      break;
    case 24:
      algo = '192';
      break;
    case 32:
      algo = '256';
      break;
    }
    var decipher = crypto.createDecipheriv('AES-' + algo + '-CBC', key, iv);
    var decrypted = decipher.update(data, 'base64', 'binary');
    try {
      decrypted += decipher.final('binary');
    } catch (e) {
      util.log(util.inspect(e));
    }
    return decrypted;
  },

  gen_salt: function (length, cb) {
    crypto.randomBytes((length * 3.0) / 4.0, function (err, buf) {
      var salt;
      if (!err) {
        salt = buf.toString("base64");
      }
      //salt=Math.floor(Math.random()*8999)+1000;
      cb(err, salt);
    });
  },

  /* one way md5 hash with salt */
  md5sum: function (salt, data) {
    return crypto.createHash('md5').update(salt + data).digest('hex');
  },
  sha256sum: function (salt, data) {
    return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(data + salt).digest('hex');
  }
};

module.exports = crypt;

(function () {
  var i;

  function logsalt(err, salt) {
    if (!err) {
      console.log('salt is ' + salt);
    }
  }

  if (require.main === module) {
    var enc = crypt.encrypt('One97');
    console.log('encrypted - ' + enc);
    console.log('decrypted - ' + crypt.decrypt(enc));

    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
      crypt.gen_salt(4, logsalt);
    }
  }

}());

Now if you enter the name and email and click on the Pay Now button you will be redirected to the Paytm payment gateway and you can pay using the Paytm app or using the Paytm website.
