Python SDK – Class Initialization
Class Initialization
CustomCheckoutClient class will be used to communicate with the PhonePe APIs. You can initiate the instance of this class only once.
Use required credentials while initializing the object.
Parameters
| Parameter Name | Data Type | Mandatory (Yes/No) | Default Value | Description |
| client_id | String | Yes | Your unique client ID for secure communication with PhonePe. | |
| client_version | Integer | Yes | Client version for secure communication with PhonePe. | |
| client_secret | String | Yes | Secret key provided by PhonePe Payment Gateway, which must be securely stored. | |
| env | Enum | Yes | Environment for the client: • PRODUCTION • SANDBOX | |
| pool_size | int | No | 10 | Max pooled (kept-alive) connections per host. Low-traffic merchants can use 2–4; high-concurrency merchants should raise it. |
| keep_alive_seconds | float | No | 60 | A pooled connection idle longer than this is closed and replaced before it is reused, so a connection silently dropped by the network is never handed to a request. |
| connect_timeout_seconds | float | No | 3 | Max time to establish the TCP/TLS connection. |
| read_timeout_seconds | float | No | 30 | Max time to wait for a response after the request is sent. |
| pool_block | bool | No | TRUE | When all pooled connections are busy, wait for one to free up instead of opening a throwaway connection outside the pool. |
Throws PhonePeException
If another CustomCheckoutClient object is initialized, PhonePeException is thrown.
Example Usage :
from phonepe.sdk.pg.common.configs.http_client_config import HttpClientConfig
from phonepe.sdk.pg.payments.v2.custom_checkout_client import CustomCheckoutClient
from phonepe.sdk.pg.env import Env
http_client_config = HttpClientConfig(
pool_size=10, # max pooled (kept-alive) connections per host
keep_alive_seconds=60, # proactively recycle connections idle longer than this
connect_timeout_seconds=3, # max time to establish the TCP/TLS connection
read_timeout_seconds=30, # max time to wait for a response once the request is sent
pool_block=True, # wait for a free pooled connection instead of overflowing the pool
)
client = CustomCheckoutClient.get_instance(
client_id=client_id,
client_secret=client_secret,
client_version=client_version,
env=env,
http_client_config=http_client_config, # optional
)
