Documentation

You are looking at it. But we've also got beautiful, fully navigable docs.

Installation

You can install this awesome package via composer

composer require gathuku/laravelmpesa

If you're using Laravel >=5.5, this is all you have to do.

Should you still be on version 5.4 of Laravel, the final steps for you are to add the service provider of the package and alias the package. To do this open your config/app.php file.

Add a new line to the providers array:

 Gathuku\Mpesa\MpesaServiceProvider::class,

And optionally add a new line to the aliases array:

'Mpesa' => Gathuku\Mpesa\Facades\Mpesa::class,

Happy Coding 🎉 💯

Configuration

Next, after the package has been installed run;

php artisan mpesa:install

or

php artisan vendor:publish

This will help in publishing config/mpesa.php file. This mpesa config file is where you will add all configurations for Mpesa APIs. This includes the environment your application is running in(sandbox or production), callback URLs and required credentials. You will obtain credentials from your app on Safaricom's developer portal.

<?php

return [
    //Specify the environment mpesa is running, sandbox or production
    'mpesa_env' => 'sandbox',
    /*-----------------------------------------
    |The App consumer key
    |------------------------------------------
    */
    'consumer_key'   => 'aR7R09zePq0OSfOttvuQDrfdM4n37i0C',  

    /*-----------------------------------------
    |The App consumer Secret
    |------------------------------------------
    */                     
    'consumer_secret' => 'F9AebI6azDlRjLiR',     

    /*-----------------------------------------
    |The paybill number
    |------------------------------------------
    */
    'paybill'         => 601380,

    /*-----------------------------------------
    |The Lipa Na Mpesa Online shortcode
    |------------------------------------------
    */
    'lipa_na_mpesa'  => '174379',
];

For production you need to replace with production credentials.

For security reasons you may want to define your API credentials in env file. For example;

  'consumer_key'   => env('CONSUMER_KEY'),
