How to Integrate Flutterwave with systeme.io

Flutterwave lets businesses accept cards, mobile money, bank transfers, and local methods across Africa and beyond. On systeme.io, the integration is native: you connect under Payment gateways, paste three API keys, then register systeme.io’s webhook URL and webhook secret in Flutterwave so completed payments sync to CRM, Transactions, and digital access.

This guide expands How to integrate Flutterwave with systeme.io —similar in spirit to Razorpay (self-service webhooks) but with Flutterwave’s public, secret, and encryption keys.

• A systeme.io account ( plan that supports selling)
• An activated Flutterwave merchant account (KYC / business verification complete)
• Live API keys and live webhook settings when you accept real money
• A funnel with order form and offers in supported currencies

1. Click your profile picture
2. Settings
3. Left menu: Payment gateways
4. Find Flutterwave → Connect

The connect popup shows fields for API credentials and displays webhook URL and webhook secret—copy these before closing; you will paste them into Flutterwave Dashboard.

In Flutterwave Dashboard:

1. Log in to Flutterwave
2. Settings → API Keys
3. Generate and copy:
   • API public key
   • API secret key
   • API encryption key

Direct link (live): https://app.flutterwave.com/dashboard/settings/apis/live. Never expose secret or encryption keys in frontend code or public repos.

Back in systeme.io:

1. Paste all three keys into the Flutterwave connect form
2. Click Save

1. From the Flutterwave section in systeme.io, copy webhook URL and webhook secret
2. In Flutterwave: Settings → Webhooks
3. Paste URL and secret (secret hash), then Save

Alternative URL: https://app.flutterwave.com/dashboard/settings/webhooks/live

Enable these webhook preferences

• Receive Webhook response in JSON format
• Enable Webhook retries
• Enable webhook for failed transactions
• Enable V3 Webhooks

Important: You must enable these preferences so systeme.io can track transactions and grant customers access to their purchases. Skipping them is the main reason checkout “succeeds” in Flutterwave but never appears in Sales → Transactions.

After the main payment attempt, Flutterwave makes three additional attempts, 30 minutes apart. The delay between attempts cannot be changed. For broader subscription retry logic on other gateways, see what happens when a customer's subscription payment fails.

1. Sites → Sales funnels → open your funnel
2. Funnel settings
3. Enable Flutterwave (toggle on for this funnel)
4. Save

Confirm the order form ( order form / payment page) and offer ( create an offer) use a currency Flutterwave settles for your account.

• Use Flutterwave test keys and test webhooks while building; switch to live keys and live webhook page for production
• Complete a small payment; verify contact, sale in Transactions, and course/access delivery
• Resend invoice if needed ( send an invoice to a client)

Paid in Flutterwave, not in systeme.io

Re-check webhook URL, secret hash, and all four preference checkboxes; use live webhook settings for live keys.

Wrong key mode

Test public/secret/encryption with live funnel (or reverse) blocks reconciliation.

Webhook delivery failures

Flutterwave retries up to 3 times at 30-minute intervals when retries are enabled; your endpoint must return HTTP 200.

Contact systeme.io support with Flutterwave transaction reference and timestamp.

Flutterwave vs Paystack on systeme.io?

Both are regional gateways—choose the processor you are approved for; PayPal/Stripe remain common for global card stacks ( PayPal).

Do I need Zapier?

No for standard funnel checkout—native integration + webhooks is the supported path.
