📖 Quick Start

Basic Usage

use Iamolayemi\Paystack\Facades\Paystack;

// Initialize a payment
$paymentData = [
    'amount' => 500000, // 5000 NGN in kobo
    'email' => 'customer@example.com',
    'reference' => 'PAY_' . uniqid(),
    'callback_url' => 'https://yourdomain.com/payment/callback',
];

$response = Paystack::transaction()
    ->initialize($paymentData)
    ->response();

if ($response['status']) {
    $authorizationUrl = $response['data']['authorization_url'];
    // Redirect user to $authorizationUrl
}

Using Helper Function

// Using the helper function
$response = paystack()->transaction()
    ->initialize($paymentData)
    ->response();

Getting Specific Data

// Get only the authorization URL
$authorizationUrl = Paystack::transaction()
    ->initialize($paymentData)
    ->response('data.authorization_url');

// Or use the dedicated method
$authorizationUrl = Paystack::transaction()
    ->initialize($paymentData)
    ->authorizationURL();

Verifying Transactions

// Verify a transaction
$reference = 'PAY_xxxxxxxxx';
$verification = Paystack::transaction()
    ->verify($reference)
    ->response();

if ($verification['status'] && $verification['data']['status'] === 'success') {
    // Payment was successful
    $amount = $verification['data']['amount'];
    $customerEmail = $verification['data']['customer']['email'];
}
