GOV.UK Pay - pay-integration-php

PHP client for the GOV.UK Pay API

As of September 2021, this repository is no longer actively maintained by the GOV.UK Pay team.

PSR-7 HTTP

We will show examples here using the Guzzle v6 Adapter.

Installing

The Pay PHP Client can be installed with Composer. Run this command:

Usage

Assuming you've installed the package via Composer, the Pay PHP Client will be available via the autoloader.

Create a (Guzzle v6 based) instance of the Client using:

You are then able to access the Pay API using $client.

If you need to access an environment other than production, you can pass the base URL in via the baseUrl key in the constructor:

Responses

All Response objects except Event have a getResponse() which returns a class implementing Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface, containing the original API response.

Payment

An instance of Alphagov\Pay\Response\Payment, which contains the decoded JSON response from the Pay API, representing a single payment.

A full list of returned properties can be found here: https://gds-payments.gelato.io/docs/versions/1.0.0/resources/payment-id/endpoints/find-payment-by-id

Properties can be accessed directly using the -> operator. For example:

If available, the payment page URL to direct the user to is accessible via:

This returns either:

• an instance of Psr\Http\Message\UriInterface represening the URL; or
• null if the URL is unavailable (for example, if the payment is complete).

Payment also includes methods for checking the state of the payment:

The payment is finished. i.e. the user can no longer interact with the payment page.

The payment is successful.

All other standard Pay states can also be checked via:

Refund

An instance of Alphagov\Pay\Response\Refund, which contains the decoded JSON response from the Pay API, representing a single refund.

Properties can be accessed directly using the -> operator. For example:

Payments, Refunds & Events

All three of these responses represent collections of their respective response type. They all extend PHP’s ArrayObject, thus can be treated as an array.

Both Refunds & Events also support the addition $response->payment_id property, containing the payment ID to which they relate.
