# C#

> Integrate Dodo Payments into your .NET applications with modern async/await support

The C# SDK provides convenient access to the Dodo Payments REST API from applications written in C#. It features an async Task-based API with strong typing, automatic retries, and comprehensive error handling.

## Installation

Install the package from [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/DodoPayments.Client):

```bash theme={null}
dotnet add package DodoPayments.Client
```

<Info>
  The SDK requires .NET 8.0 or later. It works with ASP.NET Core, Console applications, and other .NET project types.
</Info>

## Quick Start

Initialize the client and create a checkout session:

```csharp theme={null}
using System;
using DodoPayments.Client;
using DodoPayments.Client.Models.CheckoutSessions;

// Configured using the DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY and DODO_PAYMENTS_BASE_URL environment variables
DodoPaymentsClient client = new();

CheckoutSessionCreateParams parameters = new()
{
    ProductCart =
    [
        new()
        {
            ProductID = "product_id",
            Quantity = 1,
        },
    ],
};

var checkoutSessionResponse = await client.CheckoutSessions.Create(parameters);

Console.WriteLine(checkoutSessionResponse.SessionId);
```

<Warning>
  Always store your API keys securely using environment variables, user secrets, or Azure Key Vault. Never hardcode them in your source code or commit them to version control.
</Warning>

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

```bash .env theme={null}
DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

```csharp theme={null}
// Automatically reads from environment variables
DodoPaymentsClient client = new();
```

| Property      | Environment variable        | Required | Default value                     |
| ------------- | --------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------- |
| `BearerToken` | `DODO_PAYMENTS_API_KEY`     | true     | -                                 |
| `WebhookKey`  | `DODO_PAYMENTS_WEBHOOK_KEY` | false    | -                                 |
| `BaseUrl`     | `DODO_PAYMENTS_BASE_URL`    | true     | `"https://live.dodopayments.com"` |

### Manual Configuration

```csharp theme={null}
DodoPaymentsClient client = new() { BearerToken = "My Bearer Token" };
```

### Environments

Switch between live and test mode:

```csharp theme={null}
using DodoPayments.Client.Core;

DodoPaymentsClient client = new() { BaseUrl = EnvironmentUrl.TestMode };
```

### Retries

The SDK automatically retries 2 times by default with exponential backoff. It retries on connection errors and status codes 408, 409, 429, and 5xx.

```csharp theme={null}
// Custom retry count
DodoPaymentsClient client = new() { MaxRetries = 3 };
```

### Timeouts

Requests time out after 1 minute by default.

```csharp theme={null}
DodoPaymentsClient client = new() { Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30) };
```

### Per-Request Overrides

Temporarily modify configuration for a single request using `WithOptions`:

```csharp theme={null}
var response = await client
    .WithOptions(options => options with
    {
        Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10),
        MaxRetries = 5,
    })
    .CheckoutSessions.Create(parameters);
```

## Common Operations

### Create a Checkout Session

```csharp theme={null}
var parameters = new CheckoutSessionCreateParams
{
    ProductCart =
    [
        new()
        {
            ProductID = "prod_123",
            Quantity = 1
        }
    ],
    ReturnUrl = "https://yourdomain.com/return"
};

var session = await client.CheckoutSessions.Create(parameters);
Console.WriteLine($"Checkout URL: {session.CheckoutUrl}");
```

### Manage Customers

```csharp theme={null}
// Create a customer
var customer = await client.Customers.Create(new CustomerCreateParams
{
    Email = "customer@example.com",
    Name = "John Doe"
});

// Retrieve customer
var retrieved = await client.Customers.Retrieve("cus_123");
Console.WriteLine($"Customer: {retrieved.Name} ({retrieved.Email})");
```

### Handle Subscriptions

```csharp theme={null}
using DodoPayments.Client.Models.Payments;
using DodoPayments.Client.Models.Subscriptions;

// Create a subscription
var subscription = await client.Subscriptions.Create(new SubscriptionCreateParams
{
    Billing = new BillingAddress
    {
        Country = "US",
        City = "San Francisco",
        State = "CA",
        Street = "1 Market St",
        Zipcode = "94105",
    },
    Customer = new AttachExistingCustomer { CustomerID = "cus_123" },
    ProductID = "pdt_456",
    Quantity = 1,
});

// Charge an on-demand subscription
// ProductPrice is in the lowest currency denomination (e.g., 2500 = $25.00 USD)
var charge = await client.Subscriptions.Charge(
    subscription.SubscriptionId,
    new SubscriptionChargeParams { ProductPrice = 2500 }
);
```

<Info>
  `Billing` nécessite au minimum le code ISO à deux lettres `Country`. Utilisez `AttachExistingCustomer` pour attacher un client existant, ou `NewCustomer` pour en créer un. `ProductPrice` est dans la plus basse dénomination de monnaie.
</Info>

## Gestion des erreurs

Le SDK déclenche des exceptions spécifiques en fonction du code d'état HTTP. Toutes les erreurs 4xx héritent de `DodoPayments4xxException`.

| Statut | Exception                                   |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------- |
| 400    | `DodoPaymentsBadRequestException`           |
| 401    | `DodoPaymentsUnauthorizedException`         |
| 403    | `DodoPaymentsForbiddenException`            |
| 404    | `DodoPaymentsNotFoundException`             |
| 422    | `DodoPaymentsUnprocessableEntityException`  |
| 429    | `DodoPaymentsRateLimitException`            |
| 5xx    | `DodoPayments5xxException`                  |
| autres | `DodoPaymentsUnexpectedStatusCodeException` |

Autres types d'exceptions :

* `DodoPaymentsIOException` : Erreurs de réseau I/O
* `DodoPaymentsInvalidDataException` : Échec de l'interprétation des données analysées
* `DodoPaymentsException` : Classe de base pour toutes les exceptions

## Pagination

### Auto-Pagination

Itérez à travers tous les résultats sur toutes les pages en utilisant la méthode `Paginate`, qui retourne un `IAsyncEnumerable` :

```csharp theme={null}
var page = await client.Payments.List(parameters);
await foreach (var item in page.Paginate())
{
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}
```

### Pagination manuelle

```csharp theme={null}
var page = await client.Payments.List();
while (true)
{
    foreach (var item in page.Items)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(item);
    }
    if (!page.HasNext())
    {
        break;
    }
    page = await page.Next();
}
```

## Intégration ASP.NET Core

Enregistrez le client dans votre conteneur DI :

```csharp Program.cs theme={null}
using DodoPayments.Client;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddSingleton<DodoPaymentsClient>(sp =>
{
    var configuration = sp.GetRequiredService<IConfiguration>();
    return new DodoPaymentsClient
    {
        BearerToken = configuration["DodoPayments:ApiKey"]
    };
});

var app = builder.Build();
app.Run();
```

```json appsettings.json theme={null}
{
  "DodoPayments": {
    "ApiKey": "your_api_key_here"
  }
}
```

<Tip>
  Pour le développement, utilisez [les secrets utilisateur](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets) au lieu de stocker les clés dans `appsettings.json` :

  ```bash theme={null}
  dotnet user-secrets init
  dotnet user-secrets set "DodoPayments:ApiKey" "your_api_key_here"
  ```
</Tip>
