At the top of your controller include the facade
use Pesapal;
Assuming you have a Payment Model
use Pesapal;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use App\Payment;
class PaymentsController extends Controller
{
public function payment(){//initiates payment
$payments = new Payment;
$payments -> businessid = Auth::guard('business')->id(); //Business ID
$payments -> transactionid = Pesapal::random_reference();
$payments -> status = 'NEW'; //if user gets to iframe then exits, i prefer to have that as a new/lost transaction, not pending
$payments -> amount = 10;
$payments -> save();
$details = array(
'amount' => $payments -> amount,
'description' => 'Test Transaction',
'type' => 'MERCHANT',
'first_name' => 'Fname',
'last_name' => 'Lname',
'email' => 'test@test.com',
'phonenumber' => '254-723232323',
'reference' => $payments -> transactionid,
'height'=>'400px',
//'currency' => 'USD'
);
$iframe=Pesapal::makePayment($details);
return view('payments.business.pesapal', compact('iframe'));
}
public function paymentsuccess(Request $request)//just tells u payment has gone thru..but not confirmed
{
$trackingid = $request->input('tracking_id');
$ref = $request->input('merchant_reference');
$payments = Payment::where('transactionid',$ref)->first();
$payments -> trackingid = $trackingid;
$payments -> status = 'PENDING';
$payments -> save();
//go back home
$payments=Payment::all();
return view('payments.business.home', compact('payments'));
}
//This method just tells u that there is a change in pesapal for your transaction..
//u need to now query status..retrieve the change...CANCELLED? CONFIRMED?
public function paymentconfirmation(Request $request)
{
$trackingid = $request->input('pesapal_transaction_tracking_id');
$merchant_reference = $request->input('pesapal_merchant_reference');
$pesapal_notification_type= $request->input('pesapal_notification_type');
//use the above to retrieve payment status now..
$this->checkpaymentstatus($trackingid,$merchant_reference,$pesapal_notification_type);
}
//Confirm status of transaction and update the DB
public function checkpaymentstatus($trackingid,$merchant_reference,$pesapal_notification_type){
$status=Pesapal::getMerchantStatus($merchant_reference);
$payments = Payment::where('trackingid',$trackingid)->first();
$payments -> status = $status;
$payments -> payment_method = "PESAPAL";//use the actual method though...
$payments -> save();
return "success";
}
} PESAPAL_IPN=PaymentsController@paymentconfirmation
PESAPAL_LIVE=true
PESAPAL_CALLBACK_ROUTE=paymentsuccess
