Why Use a Credit Card View in Flutter?
A well-designed credit card UI improves user trust and reduces form errors.
With Flutter, you can:
- Show a real-time card preview
- Detect card type automatically
- Animate card flipping for CVV input
- Validate card details instantly
The flutter_credit_card package handles all of this efficiently.
What Is flutter_credit_card?
flutter_credit_card is a popular Flutter package that:
- Provides a ready-made credit card UI
- Supports card number masking
- Includes flip animation for CVV
- Automatically detects card brands (Visa, MasterCard, etc.)
It is actively maintained and compatible with the latest Flutter stable versions.
How to implement credit card UI in Flutter:-
Step 1: Add Dependency
First, we need to create a new Flutter project and add the following dependencies to the pubspec.yaml file.
dependencies:
flutter
sdk: flutter
flutter_credit_card: ^4.1.0
Now, run the command “flutter pub get” to add the dependencies.
To include the required package, please add it to your class.
import 'package:flutter_credit_card/flutter_credit_card.dart';
Step 2: Create Stateful Widget
We use a StatefulWidget because the card details change when the user types.
class CreditCard extends StatefulWidget {
const CreditCard({super.key});
@override
State<CreditCard> createState() => CreditCardView();
}
Step 3: How to display credit card preview?
Some essential fields in CreditCardWidget(), such as creating a card number, which enables the user to enter their card number for card identification, must be null.
CreditCardWidget(
cardNumber: cardNumber,
expiryDate: expiryDate,
cardHolderName: cardHolderName,
cvvCode: cvvCode,
bankName: 'Axis Bank',
showBackView: isCvvFocused,
obscureCardNumber: true,
obscureCardCvv: true,
isHolderNameVisible: true,
cardBgColor: Colors.blueGrey.shade700,
onCreditCardWidgetChange: (_) {},
)
Step 5: How to build credit card input form?
This form allows users to enter card details.
CreditCardForm( formKey: formKey, cardNumber: cardNumber, expiryDate: expiryDate, cvvCode: cvvCode, cardHolderName: cardHolderName, obscureCvv: true, obscureNumber: true, onCreditCardModelChange: onCreditCardModel, )
Step 6: Listen to Card Input Changes
This method updates the card preview in real time.
void onCreditCardModel(CreditCardModel model) {
setState(() {
cardNumber = model.cardNumber;
expiryDate = model.expiryDate;
cardHolderName = model.cardHolderName;
cvvCode = model.cvvCode;
isCvvFocused = model.isCvvFocused;
});
}
How Do You Handle Form Validation:
We use a GlobalKey<FormState> method to validate user input.
final GlobalKey<FormState> formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
This allows us to check whether all card details are valid before proceeding.
The formkey will be added to this CreditCardForm(). The ultimate globalkey is user-created.
How Do You Customize Input Fields?
Flutter allows full control over input decorations.
You can customize:
- Card number field
- Expiry date field
- CVV field
- Card holder name field
Each field supports custom borders, labels, and error styles.
