Laravel Omnipay - The transactionReference parameter is required - php

Question

I'm working with the open source ticket system called Attendize.
They already have the payment provider Stripe integrated. Now I'm trying to make this work with the payment provider Mollie.
The problem is I keep stumbling on this error:
My code looks like this:
$transaction_data += [
'transactionId' => $event_id . date('YmdHis'),
'returnUrl' => route('showEventCheckoutPaymentReturn', [
'event_id' => $event_id,
'is_payment_successful' => 1
]),
];
$apiKey = "test_gSDS4xNA96AfNmmdwB3fAA47******";
$gateway->setApiKey($apiKey);
$transaction = $gateway->purchase($transaction_data);
$response = $transaction->send();
if ($response->isSuccessful()) {
session()->push('ticket_order_' . $event_id . '.transaction_id',
$response->getTransactionReference());
return $this->completeOrder($event_id);
} elseif ($response->isRedirect()) {
/*
* As we're going off-site for payment we need to store some data in a session so it's available
* when we return
*/
session()->push('ticket_order_' . $event_id . '.transaction_data', $transaction_data);
Log::info("Redirect url: " . $response->getRedirectUrl());
$return = [
'status' => 'success',
'redirectUrl' => $response->getRedirectUrl(),
'message' => 'Redirecting to ' . $ticket_order['payment_gateway']->provider_name
];
// GET method requests should not have redirectData on the JSON return string
if($response->getRedirectMethod() == 'POST') {
$return['redirectData'] = $response->getRedirectData();
}
return response()->json($return);
} else {
// display error to customer
return response()->json([
'status' => 'error',
'message' => $response->getMessage(),
]);
}
When I debug my code he's going into the elseif ($response->isRedirect()) {. I am being redirected to Mollie and a can do a successful payment. But when I am being redirect back to http://myurl.dev/e/1/checkout/success?is_payment_successful=1 I'm getting the error.
UPDATE:
In my return function I have the following code:
public function showEventCheckoutPaymentReturn(Request $request, $event_id)
{
if ($request->get('is_payment_cancelled') == '1') {
session()->flash('message', 'You cancelled your payment. You may try again.');
return response()->redirectToRoute('showEventCheckout', [
'event_id' => $event_id,
'is_payment_cancelled' => 1,
]);
}
$ticket_order = session()->get('ticket_order_' . $event_id);
$gateway = Omnipay::create($ticket_order['payment_gateway']->name);
$gateway->initialize($ticket_order['account_payment_gateway']->config + [
'testMode' => config('attendize.enable_test_payments'),
]);
$transaction = $gateway->completePurchase($ticket_order['transaction_data'][0]);
$response = $transaction->send();
if ($response->isSuccessful()) {
session()->push('ticket_order_' . $event_id . '.transaction_id', $response->getTransactionReference());
return $this->completeOrder($event_id, false);
} else {
session()->flash('message', $response->getMessage());
return response()->redirectToRoute('showEventCheckout', [
'event_id' => $event_id,
'is_payment_failed' => 1,
]);
}
}
The problem (error) is with $response = $transaction->send();.
The array $ticket_order['transaction_data'][0] contains this:
Array
(
[amount] => 80
[currency] => EUR
[description] => Order for customer: niels#email.be
[transactionId] => 120170529082422
[returnUrl] => http://eventy.dev/e/1/checkout/success?is_payment_successful=1
)
UPDATE 2:
I've added $gateway->setApiKey($apiKey); in my return function. But the problem is that my response is NOT successful. So he doesn't go into $response->isSuccessful(). When I dump my $response variable just before he checks if it's successful it shows this: https://pastebin.com/NKCsxJ7B.
You can see there's an error like this:
[error] => Array
(
[type] => request
[message] => The payment id is invalid
)
The payment in Mollie looks like this:
UPDATE 3:
In my return function I tried to check the status of the response object like this : $response->status(). This gave me the following error:
Call to undefined method Omnipay\Mollie\Message\CompletePurchaseResponse::status()
Then I tried $response->getStatus() but this gave me nothing back.

Answer 1

What #Daan said in his comment is correct, you are getting the error from the landing page, not the page that creates the transaction.
On that landing page you will have a call like this:
$omnipay->completePurchase($data);
In that #data array you need to include the 'transactionReference' field which should be one of the POST parameters that your http://myurl.dev/e/1/checkout/success?is_payment_successful=‌​1 URL received.
Probably a useful debugging aid is to have the code at that URL print out or log the entire $_POST array and you can use that to check what parameter you need to pull from that array. It varies a bit between gateways.

This might have something to do with this ticket: https://github.com/thephpleague/omnipay-eway/issues/13
To solve this check I would suggest checking status code with
if ($request->status() == 201) {
//successful created
}
My theory is that it is checking against 200
The function is defined here:
https://github.com/thephpleague/omnipay-mollie/blob/master/src/Message/AbstractResponse.php
public function isSuccessful()
{
return !$this->isRedirect() && !isset($this->data['error']);
}
It will probably fail because you expect a redirect!
201 because of my Postman test below
