const paymentFlutterwave = async (req, res) => {
try {
const { appointmentId } = req.body;
const appointmentData = await appointmentModel.findById(appointmentId);
if (!appointmentData || appointmentData.cancelled) {
return res.json({
success: false,
message: "Appointment Cancelled or not found",

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'create')
This error means that the object flutterwave.Payment
that you're trying to reference here doesn't exist.
const response = await flutterwave.Payment.create(payload);
What documentation are you using for Flutterwave? I'm not familiar with that product, but when I look at the "Usage" documentation for the Node.js SDK, I don't see anything called Payment
.
Looking at your payload, it looks like you might be trying to get a payment link. From their documentation, it says you need to make an HTTP call to do that.
const response = await axios.post(
'https://api.flutterwave.com/v3/payments',
payload,
{
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.FLW_SECRET_KEY}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
}
);
