Paystack PHP is a library for using the [Paystack](http://paystack.com) API from PHP.

While there are other PHP libraries for Paystack, this library is designed to make it less cumbersome to implement a payment flow on the Paystack payment platform.

Installation

    ]);
```

### Customer

        'first_name' => 'Perfect',
        'last_name' => 'Makanju',
        'phone' => 'xxxxxxx'
    ]);

    echo 'Customer\'s first name is: '.$customer->first_name;
```

Todo
----

[](#todo)

This library is far from complete and not yet stable. So I don't advice using it yet.

- Finish up all the resources
- Tests for each Resource
- Fix travis build script
