Pippin
======

[](#pippin)

Pippin is a library for handling [PayPal IPNs](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/notifications/ipn/) in Laravel.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Type-hint the request in your route handler to opt-in to IPN verification:

```
use Pippin\IPNRequest;

class MyController extends Controller {

  public function ipn(IPNRequest $request) {
    // Do something.
  }

}
```

2. Access data about the IPN to [validate the notification](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/notifications/ipn/IPNIntro/#a-sample-ipn-message-and-response) and process it for your application.

```
use Pippin\IPNRequest;

class MyController extends Controller {

  public function ipn(IPNRequest $request) {
    $ipn = $request->getIPN();
    // $ipn is an instance of Pippin\IPN.
    $payerEmail = $ipn->getPayerEmail();

    $transaction = $ipn->getTransactions()[0];
    $receiverEmail = $transaction->getReceiver();
  }

}
```
