VivaPayments driver for the Omnipay PHP payment processing library

Omnipay is a framework agnostic, multi-gateway payment processing library for PHP 5.3+. This package implements VivaPayments support for Omnipay.

Viva Payments is a licensed e-money institution for operations in the EEA-31 region by the Bank of Greece.

Installation

Omnipay is installed via Composer. To install, simply:

composer require konalexiou/omnipay-vivapayments

Basic Usage

The following gateways are provided by this package:

• VivaPayments_Redirect
• VivaPayments_Native
• VivaPayments_VivaWallet (not yet implemented)

All of these gateways use similar principles (REST) with many of the methods being common between the three gateways. I have therefore used an abstract RestGateway class to hold the common methods but this is not intended to be instantiated separately.

For general usage instructions, please see the main Omnipay repository.

Documentation

For all documentation, usage examples, etc, see the documentation in the class docblocks.

There is a copy of the documentation online here (not necessarily up to date):

Quirks

• All payments are in Euros (EUR). No other currency is supported.
• Creating a purchase is a two step process. Firstly there needs to be an order created. Then, depending on the gateway (Redirect vs REST), either the customer is redirected to the gateway or further customer information is provided by a second REST call.
• Direct card payments are not supported. Either a JS plugin is required (Native gateway) which creates a card reference, or a redirect is required (Redirect gateway).
• It is impossible to tell from the gateway response whether the transaction requires a redirect or not. It's only possible to tell from the type of request made. So I have created separate gateway classes for the different types of purchase request (Native vs Redirect) which will return different types of response.
• When making a redirect payment, upon completion of the checkout form, the customer is redirected back to your website. The redirection URLs are defined in your vivapayments.com account under the Sources section. You cannot provide a per-transaction returnUrl or cancelUrl parameter to redirect each transaction to a different URL as can be done in some gateways.
• There is no separate void() method. The refund() method assumes a void() call is being made if it is within the same day as the transaction was created. In this case the refund amount must exactly equal the transaction amount.
• There is an authorize() transaction but there is no capture() transaction. Pre-authorized amounts stay on hold until they are cancelled or time out (up to 30 days).
