C# SDK

The Zentra C# SDK provides convenient access to the Zentra API from .NET applications.
The checked-in C# wrapper currently exposes transfers, payments, virtual accounts, logs, and webhook verification. Cards, identity, customers, and wallet helpers are not exposed in the package shown in this repo.
dotnet add package Zentra

​
Configuration

Initialize the client with your API key: 
using Zentra;

var client = new ZentraClient(
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ZENTRA_SECRET_KEY")
);

​
Resources

The checked-in C# package currently exposes:
  • client.Transfers: Bank transfers
  • client.Payments: Reviewed public charges, refunds, and saved payment tokens
  • client.VirtualAccounts: Virtual bank accounts
  • client.Logs: API request logs
  • client.Webhooks: Webhook signature verification

​
Examples

​
Create a Transfer

try
{
    dynamic transfer = await client.Transfers.CreateAsync(new
    {
        amount = 500000,
        recipient_bank_code = "058",
        recipient_account_number = "0123456789",
        recipient_account_name = "Vendor Settlement Account",
        narration = "Vendor payout",
        reference = "TRF_12345",
        currency = "NGN"
    }, idempotencyKey: "idem_transfer_123");

    Console.WriteLine($"Queued transfer: {transfer.reference}");
}
catch (ZentraException e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error: {e.Message}");
}

​
Create Charge

dynamic charge = await client.Payments.ChargeAsync(new
{
    amount_minor = 500000, // ₦5,000.00
    currency = "NGN",
    email = "user@example.com",
    reference = "ORD_12345",
    capture_mode = "customer_action_required"
}, idempotencyKey: "idem_charge_123");

dynamic verified = await client.Payments.VerifyAsync((string)charge.reference);
Console.WriteLine($"Status: {verified.status}");

​
Verify Webhook Signature (ASP.NET Core)

[HttpPost("/webhooks")]
public IActionResult HandleWebhook()
{
    using var reader = new StreamReader(Request.Body);
    var payload = reader.ReadToEnd();
    var signature = Request.Headers["X-Zentra-Signature"];

    if (client.Webhooks.VerifySignature(payload, signature, webhookSecret))
    {
        // Process webhook
        return Ok("Verified");
    }

    return BadRequest("Invalid signature");
}

​
Error Handling

The SDK throws typed exceptions for API errors: 
using Zentra.Exceptions;

try
{
    await client.Payments.VerifyAsync("INVALID_REF");
}
catch (ValidationException e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Bad request: {e.Message}");
}
catch (AuthenticationException)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Check your API key");
}
catch (ZentraException e)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"API error: {e.Message}");
}

​
Dependency Injection

For ASP.NET Core, register the client in Program.cs: 
builder.Services.AddSingleton(sp =>
    new ZentraClient(
        builder.Configuration["Zentra:ApiKey"],
        builder.Environment.IsProduction()
            ? "https://api.usezentra.com"
            : "https://sandbox.api.usezentra.com"
    )
);
