This package is created to integrate MPesa Services i.e. C2B, B2C, B2B and Online Checkout in your Laravel app. It allows you to receive and process soap sent by Safaricom. The package is still under heavy development and thus subject to bugs and changes.
composer require "lawrence615/mpesa:dev-master"
Mobidev\Mpesa\MpesaServiceProvider::class
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mobidev\Mpesa\MpesaServiceProvider"
Then run php artisan migrate to create the tables in you database. This will create two tables;
-
mpesa_payment_logs table - logs everything received from Safaricom
-
payments table - breaks down what is received from Safaricom into a number of columns
The route that receives the IPN is c2b/payments/receiver
i.e. http://example.com/c2b/payments/receiver. This is the endpoint you give to Safaricom.
There are events triggered when certain actions happen. You can extend the package's behaviour by setting up your own event listeners to provide custom functionality.
These are the events triggered by the package. The list will grow with time as more events come up;
Event | Available data |
---|---|
c2b.received.payment | Full C2B Payment Object |
C2B Payment Event Listener
Create a Controller i.e. PaymentsController then create a function c2bPayment
//$payload will have the data from the event
public function c2bPayment($payload){
}
Register an event listener in the boot method of your EventServiceProvider:
Event::listen('c2b.received.payment', 'App\Http\Controllers\PaymentsController@c2bPayment');
