This is a PHP package for iPay Africa Web based integration. The API allows a merchant to initiate C2B transaction and receive payments from the customers.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Pull in the package through Composer.

```
composer require smodav/ipay
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To make a request is simple. Just initiate the `Cashier` and finalize the transaction:

```
use SmoDav\iPay\Cashier;

require "vendor/autoload.php";

$cashier = new Cashier();

$response = $cashier
    ->usingVendorId('your vendor id', 'your vendor secret')
    ->withCallback('http://yourcallback.com')
    ->withCustomer('0722000000', 'demo@example.com', false)
    ->transact(10, 'your order id', 'your order secret');
```

The `$response` variable will hold the html response from iPay. Just render it to the page and the process would be complete.

Payment Channels
----------------

[](#payment-channels)

By default, you are able to transact with multiple channels. The package default are:

- MPesa
- Airtel Money
- Equity
- Credit Card
- Debit Card

In order to use other channels, you can call the `usingChannels()` method with a channel array. The currently available channels are:

- Cashier::CHANNEL\_MPESA
- Cashier::CHANNEL\_AIRTEL
- Cashier::CHANNEL\_EQUITY
- Cashier::CHANNEL\_MOBILE\_BANKING
- Cashier::CHANNEL\_DEBIT\_CARD
- Cashier::CHANNEL\_CREDIT\_CARD
- Cashier::CHANNEL\_MKOPO\_RAHISI
- Cashier::CHANNEL\_SAIDA

For example:

```
use SmoDav\iPay\Cashier;

require "vendor/autoload.php";

$cashier = new Cashier();

$transactChannels = [
    Cashier::CHANNEL_MPESA,
    Cashier::CHANNEL_AIRTEL,
];

$response = $cashier
    ->usingChannels($transactChannels)
    ->usingVendorId('your vendor id', 'your vendor secret')
    ->withCallback('http://yourcallback.com')
    ->withCustomer('0722000000', 'demo@example.com', false)
    ->transact(10, 'your order id', 'your order secret');
```
