Laravel 5.2 and PayPayl integration for payments? - php

Question

I'm a newbie on Laravel, and I'm trying to implement PayPal on my website.
Already tried searching PayPal packages on GitHub, but most of them are outdated, or without enough documentantion.
So I'm here to ask if someone has an idea to integrate PayPal payments (express checkout) on Laravel 5.2 ?

Answer 1

So I took this package; http://packalyst.com/packages/package/netshell/paypal
And just did what the doc says, the composer require netshell/paypal dev-master, then add the service provider and alias on the app.php.
I tried the "ExampleController" given, by making a new controller called "PaymentController", and added a few lines on my routes.php.
Here is my PaymentController;
'namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Gloudemans\Shoppingcart\Facades\Cart;
use PayPal;
use Redirect;
use App\Http\Requests;
class PaymentController extends Controller
{
private $_apiContext;
public function __construct()
{
$this->_apiContext = PayPal::ApiContext(
config('services.paypal.client_id'),
config('services.paypal.secret'));
$this->_apiContext->setConfig(array(
'mode' => 'sandbox',
'service.EndPoint' => 'https://api.sandbox.paypal.com',
'http.ConnectionTimeOut' => 30,
'log.LogEnabled' => true,
'log.FileName' => storage_path('logs/paypal.log'),
'log.LogLevel' => 'FINE'
));
}
public function getCheckout()
{
$payer = PayPal::Payer();
$payer->setPaymentMethod('paypal');
$amount = PayPal:: Amount();
$amount->setCurrency('EUR');
$amount->setTotal(42); // This is the simple way,
// you can alternatively describe everything in the order separately;
// Reference the PayPal PHP REST SDK for details.
$transaction = PayPal::Transaction();
$transaction->setAmount($amount);
$transaction->setDescription('What are you selling?');
$redirectUrls = PayPal:: RedirectUrls();
$redirectUrls->setReturnUrl(action('PaymentController#getDone'));
$redirectUrls->setCancelUrl(action('PaymentController#getCancel'));
$payment = PayPal::Payment();
$payment->setIntent('sale');
$payment->setPayer($payer);
$payment->setRedirectUrls($redirectUrls);
$payment->setTransactions(array($transaction));
$response = $payment->create($this->_apiContext);
$redirectUrl = $response->links[1]->href;
return Redirect::to( $redirectUrl );
}
public function getDone(Request $request)
{
$id = $request->get('paymentId');
$token = $request->get('token');
$payer_id = $request->get('PayerID');
$payment = PayPal::getById($id, $this->_apiContext);
$paymentExecution = PayPal::PaymentExecution();
$paymentExecution->setPayerId($payer_id);
$executePayment = $payment->execute($paymentExecution, $this->_apiContext);
// Clear the shopping cart, write to database, send notifications, etc.
// Thank the user for the purchase
return view('checkout.done');
}
public function getCancel()
{
// Curse and humiliate the user for cancelling this most sacred payment (yours)
return view('checkout.cancel');
}'
And my routes.php
`Route::group(['prefix' => 'payment'], function () {
Route::get('/', 'PaymentController#getCheckout');
});`
And I got this error
