Official documentation
----------------------

[](#official-documentation)

PHP SDK for [IntaSend Payment Gateway](https://intasend.com). IntaSend enables you to easily add payments to your application with a few lines of code.

Follow the instruction below to install and get started.

Visit our [sandbox/developers](https://sandbox.intasend.com) test for your API Keys.

Checkout our [API documentation](https://developers.intasend.com/) for more details and for payload references.

How to install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

```
composer require intasend/intasend-php

```

How to authenticate
-------------------

[](#how-to-authenticate)

IntaSend-php supports various IntaSend's payment features. Below are the credentials needed for authentication.

**token** - Is the API token and is required for status checks, chargeback request, send money, and wallet services. **publishable\_key** - Also know as the public key is required during payment collections/checkout only.

### How to pass your credentials

[](#how-to-pass-your-credentials)

Add your credentials from the `.env` (recommended) in an array and include it in your requests. Example:

```
$credentials = [
    'token'=>'',
    'publishable_key'=>''
];

$checkout = new Checkout();
$checkout->init($credentials);

```

How to receive payments using Checkout URL
------------------------------------------

[](#how-to-receive-payments-using-checkout-url)

With IntaSend, you can generate a secure checkout page where you redirect your users to complete payments.

Below is a basic example on how to set up. Check full example in your [Laravel playground](examples/laravel-setup/).

```
use IntaSend\IntaSendPHP\Checkout;
use IntaSend\IntaSendPHP\Customer;

$credentials = [
'publishable_key' =>  env('INTASEND_PUBLISHABLE_KEY'),
'test' =>  env('INTASEND_TEST_ENVIRONMENT', true),
];

$customer = new Customer();
$customer->first_name = "Joe";
$customer->last_name = "Doe";
$customer->email = "joe@doe.com";
$customer->country = "KE";

$amount = 10;
$currency = "KES";

// Add your website and redirect url where the user will be redirected on success
$host = "https://example.com";
$redirect_url = "https://example.com/callback";
$ref_order_number = "test-order-10";

$checkout = new Checkout();
$checkout->init($credentials);
$resp = $checkout->create($amount = $amount, $currency = $currency, $customer = $customer, $host=$host, $redirect_url = $redirect_url, $api_ref = $ref_order_number, $comment = null, $method = null);

// Redirect the user to the URL to complete payment
print_r($resp->url);

```

Send M-Pesa STK-Push
--------------------

[](#send-m-pesa-stk-push)

Checkout API generates a URL that enables you to do M-Pesa collection and other payment methods. In case you want to leverage only the M-Pesa STK-Push option, you might want to consider this the `collection->mpesa_stk_push()` option.

```
use IntaSend\IntaSendPHP\Collection;
$credentials = [
'publishable_key' =>  env('INTASEND_PUBLISHABLE_KEY'),
'test' =>  env('INTASEND_TEST_ENVIRONMENT', true),
];

$collection = new Collection();
$collection->init($credentials);

$response = $collection->create($amount=10, $phone_number="2547...", $currency="KES", $method="MPESA_STK_PUSH", $api_ref="Your API Ref", $name="", $email="john@example.com");
print_r($response);

```

How to create Payment links
---------------------------

[](#how-to-create-payment-links)

Payment links are free forms that you can share with your customers on email and social media. Unlike Checkout URL, payment links do not required/include customer details when creating them. The customer is expected to put all the details required.

### Create a payment link

[](#create-a-payment-link)

```
use IntaSend\IntaSendPHP\PaymentLink;

$credentials = [
    'token'=>'',
    'publishable_key'=>''
];

$paymentLink = new PaymentLink();
$paymentLink->init($credentials);

$title = "Service 1";
$currency = "KES";
$amount = 100;

# Specify who should take care of the charges. Set to BUSINESS_PAYS for business to handle.

$mobile_tarrif =  "CUSTOMER_PAYS";
$card_tarrif =  "CUSTOMER_PAYS";
$is_active = "true";

$response = $paymentLink->create($title, $currency, $amount, $mobile_tarrif, $card_tarrif, $is_active);
print_r($response);

```

### List or retrive details of payment links by ID

[](#list-or-retrive-details-of-payment-links-by-id)

```
$response = $paymentLink->retrieve()
print_r($response);

$link_id = "AKSL1O1";
$response = $paymentLink->details($link_id);
print_r($response);

```
