CLI

Chapa CLI is a command-line tool that helps you integrate, manage, and interact with Chapa’s payment API directly from your terminal. This tool provides various commands to handle transactions, retrieve bank details, and more, making it easier to work with Chapa’s API without the need for manual API calls.

Features

• Initialize Transactions: Create new transactions directly from the CLI.
• Verify Transactions: Check the status of a transaction.
• Get Banks: Retrieve a list of supported banks.
• Get Transaction Events: Fetch and display events related to a specific transaction.
• Webhook Management: Listen to and test webhooks.
