import { View, TouchableOpacity,Text } from 'react-native';

function Pay(){
  const paystackWebViewRef = useRef<paystackProps.PayStackRef>(); 

  return (
    <View style={{flex: 1}}>
      <Paystack
        paystackKey="your-public-key-here"
        billingEmail="paystackwebview@something.com"
        amount={'25000.00'}
        onCancel={(e) => {
          // handle response here
        }}
        onSuccess={(res) => {
          // handle response here
        }}
        ref={paystackWebViewRef}
      />

        <TouchableOpacity onPress={()=> paystackWebViewRef.current.startTransaction()}>
          <Text>Pay Now</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      </View>
  );
