Pesapal package for Laravel

Introduction

This is a Laravel 5.* pesapal package. I provided this package as to help since pesapal do not have a package for Laravel. Pesapal do not have a way to test this so I guess you will have to send money payments to test. Please do ping me whenever you need something.

For Laravel 4.2

Installation

add

"ericmuigai/pesapal": "3.0.x-dev"

to your composer.json and then

composer update

this will install the package Once the package is installed add

'Ericmuigai\Pesapal\PesapalServiceProvider',

to the providers. after this publish the config file by

php artisan config:publish ericmuigai/pesapal

then migrate the package table by using

php artisan vendor:publish

Go to your pesapal account and in the ipn url enter

yoursite.com/listenipn

or or the url to your public path/listenipn
You should now find the config.php in the

config/pesapal.php 

Configuration

This is what you should see in the config.php

/**
 * this settings are needed in order to work with pesapal
 * enabled(bool) -if true sets the pesapal to live instead of demo website that was not functioning at the time of writing this package
 * consumer_key the consumer key gotten from the pesapal website
 * consumer_secret- The consumer secret gotten from the pesapal website.
 * controller - This is the controller that will be called if the status is valid. A method updateItem($key, $pesapal_merchant_reference) will be called.
 * please note the method that will be called will be updateItem and should be static that is update($key,$reference)
 * Key- the key to protect the method from being called elsewhere
 * redirectTo - the link to where your thankyou page is
 * email - Your email address where you will be emailed on complete transaction
 * name - your name
 * currency - the currency that will be used on payment
 *
 */
return array(
'enabled' => true,
'consumer_key' => "",
'consumer_secret'=>"",
'controller'=>"YourController",
'key'=>"12345",
'redirectTo'=>"/",
'email'=>"[email protected]",
'mail'=>true,
'name'=>"Admin",
'currency'=>"KES",

);

You are now set once the right info is entered.
