Payscel PHP Library
===================

[](#payscel-php-library)

This library provides a simple interface for interacting with the Payscel payment gateway in your PHP applications.

Installation Using Composer:

```
composer require unityarray/payscel

```

-----

[](#usage)

Instantiate the Payscel class:

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

use UnityArray\Payscel\Payscel;

$apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$linkId = 'YOUR_LINK_ID';
$payscel = new Payscel($apiKey, $linkId);
```

Initiate a payment:

```
$msisdn = '254712345678'; // Phone number without the leading '+'
$amount = 10; // Amount in kes
$callback = 'https://your-website.com/callback'; // Your callback URL

$response = $payscel->initiate($msisdn, $amount, $callback);

// Handle the response (usually a JSON object containing checkout details)

// {
//   +"MerchantRequestID": "db57-40e1-af85-2424fab5a2e697902622"
//   +"CheckoutRequestID": "ws_CO_21032024215003724757869730"
//   +"ResponseCode": "0"
//   +"ResponseDescription": "Success. Request accepted for processing"
//   +"CustomerMessage": "Success. Request accepted for processing"
// }

// example

echo $response->ResponseDescription; // Success. Request accepted for processing
```

Query the status of a payment:

```
$checkoutId = 'CHECKOUT_ID_FROM_INITIATE_RESPONSE';

$response = $payscel->query($checkoutId);

// Handle the response (usually a JSON object containing payment status)

// {
//   +"ResponseCode": "0"
//   +"ResponseDescription": "The service request has been accepted successsfully"
//   +"MerchantRequestID": "847c-4573-85db-96a68dacad1992169467"
