Paystack is the most popular payment gateway in Africa. Paystack has supported ZAR currencies.
It’s very simple to implement in your laravel application
Install package
composer require unicodeveloper/laravel-paystack
Once Laravel Paystack is installed, you need to register the service provider. Open up config/app.php and add the following to the providers key.
'providers' => [
...
Unicodeveloper\Paystack\PaystackServiceProvider::class,
...
]
Register the Facade
'aliases' => [
...
'Paystack' =>
Unicodeveloper\Paystack\Facades\Paystack::class,
...
]
Note: Make sure you have /payment/callback registered in Paystack Dashboard https://dashboard.paystack.co/#/settings/developer
Set Paystack credentials into config/paystack.php
return [
/**
* Public Key From Paystack Dashboard
*/
'publicKey' => 'PAYSTACK KEY',
/**
* Secret Key From Paystack Dashboard
*/
'secretKey' => 'PAYSTACK SECRET KEY',
/**
* Paystack Payment URL
*/
'paymentUrl' => 'https://api.paystack.co',
/**
* Optional email address of the merchant
*/
'merchantEmail' => 'EMAIL ADDRESS',
];
Configure the route. Enter the code in your web.php file in the route directory
//Paystack Route
Route::get('paystack-onboard', [PaystackController::class, 'redirectToGateway'])->name('paystack.init');
Route::get('paystack-payment-success',
[PaystackController::class, 'handleGatewayCallback'])->name('paystack.success');
Then after create one controller PaystackController.php
public function redirectToGateway(Request $request)
{
try{
$request->request->add([
"email" => "Your email address",
"orderID" => "123456", // anything
"amount" => 150 * 100,
"quantity" => 1,
"currency" => "ZAR", // change as per need
"reference"=> Paystack::genTranxRef(),
"metadata" => json_encode(['key_name' => 'value']), // this should be related data
]);
return Paystack::getAuthorizationUrl()->redirectNow();
}catch(\Exception $e) {
return Redirect::back()->withMessage(['msg'=>'The paystack token has expired. Please refresh the page and try again.', 'type'=>'error']);
}
}
public function handleGatewayCallback(Request $request)
{
$paymentDetails = Paystack::getPaymentData();
dd($paymentDetails);
}
That’s it. Enjoy.
