The Stack Pay Payments SDK for PHP is an open source library through which your PHP application can easily interact with the [Stack Pay API](https://developer.mystackpay.com/docs).

**Note:** This release utilizes Stack Pay API v1. There are substantial differences between this version of the client library and subsequent versions. Please be mindful of this when upgrading.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 5.4.0 (or higher)

Dependencies
------------

[](#dependencies)

### PHP Curl Class 7.2.0 (or higher)

[](#php-curl-class-720-or-higher)

This library also requires `'ext-curl': '*'`.

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

[](#installation)

### Composer (recommended)

[](#composer-recommended)

It is strongly recommended that you use [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) to install this package and its dependencies. Some methods utilize `GuzzleHttp`. If you do not install via Composer, these methods will be difficult to use.

To install via Composer, run the following command:

```
composer require stack-pay/payments-sdk-php
```

You can also manually add this dependency to your `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "stack-pay/payments-sdk-php": "~1.0.0"
    }
}
```

To use the bindings, use Composer's [autoload](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#autoloading):

```
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
```

### Manual Installation (not recommended)

[](#manual-installation-not-recommended)

If you do not wish to use Composer, you can download the [latest release](https://github.com/stack-pay/payments-sdk-php/releases). Then, to use the bindings, include the `payments-sdk.php` file.

```
require_once('/path/to/stack-pay/payments-sdk-php/lib/payments-sdk.php');
```

You will also need to download the dependencies and manually include them, which can be extremely cumbersome. It is **strongly** recommended that you use Composer.

Instantiating the SDK
---------------------

[](#instantiating-the-sdk)

```
$stackpay = new StackPay\Payments\StackPay($yourPublicKey, $yourPrivateKey);
```

This will create a StackPay class instance in *PRODUCTION* mode with *USD* as the default currency.

To enable development/testing mode, you should then use:

```
$stackpay->enableTestMode();
```

To change currency:

```
$stackpay->setCurrency('CAD');
```

Documentation

- [Main SDK Transaction Methods](docs/MainTransactionMethods.md)
- [Transaction Factories](docs/TransactionFactories.md)
- Request-Focused Implementation

- [StackPay API Docs](https://developer.mystackpay.com/docs) (external site)

### Request-Focused Implementation

[](#request-focused-implementation)

The examples in these docs are recommended when the SDK is installed via Composer. These methods use `GuzzleHttp` which is very difficult to use without a good autoloader.

You can directly interact with the response returned by these methods using the `->body()` method, which is the JSON-decoded `Body` element of the response payload as a `stdClass` PHP object.

```
$response = $request->send();

echo $response->body()->ID;
```

You can check the response for success using method `success()`. If `success()` returns `false`, then you can use `error()` to access `code`, `messages`, and `errors` attributes.

```
$response = $request->send();

if (! $response->success()) {
    echo $response->error()->code."\n"; // the API response error code
    echo $response->error()->message."\n"; // the API response error message
    print_r($response->error()->errors); // populated when the request body does not pass validation
}
```

Development
-----------

[](#development)

Install dependencies:

```
composer install
```

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

Install dependencies as mentioned above (which will resolve [PHPUnit](http://packagist.org/packages/phpunit/phpunit)), then you can run the test suite:

```
composer test
```

If you plan to use these tests, it is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with PHPUnit as well as the `phpunit.xml` configuration file included with this package.
