FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

General payment flow
Though there are multiple ways to pay an order, most payment gateways expect you to follow the following flow in your checkout process:
1. The customer is redirected to the payment provider
After the customer has gone through the checkout process and is ready to pay, the customer must be redirected to site of the payment provider.
The redirection is accomplished by submitting a form with some hidden fields. The form must post to the site of the payment provider. The hidden fields minimally specify the amount that must be paid, the order id and a hash.
The hash is calculated using the hidden form fields and a non-public secret. The hash used by the payment provider to verify if the request is valid.
2. The customer pays on the site of the payment provider
The customer arrived on the site of the payment provider and gets to choose a payment method. All steps necessary to pay the order are taken care of by the payment provider.
3. The customer gets redirected back
After having paid the order the customer is redirected back. In the redirection request to the shop-site some values are returned. The values are usually the order id, a paymentresult and a hash.
The hash is calculated out of some of the fields returned and a secret non-public value. This hash is used to verify if the request is valid and comes from the payment provider. It is paramount that this hash is thoroughly checked.
Usage
Open your .env file and add your public key, secret key, merchant email and payment url like so:
Set up routes and controller methods like so:
Note: Make sure you have /payment/callback registered in Paystack Dashboard https://dashboard.paystack.co/#/settings/developer like so:
OR
OR
Let me explain the fluent methods this package provides a bit here.
A sample form will look like so:
When clicking the submit button the customer gets redirected to the Paystack site.
So now we've redirected the customer to Paystack. The customer did some actions there (hopefully he or she paid the order) and now gets redirected back to our shop site.
Paystack will redirect the customer to the url of the route that is specified in the Callback URL of the Web Hooks section on Paystack dashboard.
We must validate if the redirect to our site is a valid request (we don't want imposters to wrongfully place non-paid order).
In the controller that handles the request coming from the payment provider, we have
Paystack::getPaymentData() - This function calls the verification methods and ensure it is a valid transction else it throws an exception.
You can test with these details
