Laravel 11 PayPal Payment Gateway Integration Example

In this tutorial, I would like to share with you how to integrate paypal payment gateway in laravel 11 application.

In this particular example, we will demonstrate a simple way to integrate the PayPal payment gateway into a Laravel application. To do this, we will utilize the srmklive/paypal composer package. Firstly, we will create a new developer account and generate a client ID and secret. Then, we will create the intent to capture payment so that users can make payments using a PayPal sandbox buyer account. I will guide you through each step of the Laravel PayPal Payment Gateway Integration.

Let's now proceed to the step-by-step example of integrating PayPal payments in Laravel.

Step for Laravel 11 PayPal Payment Gateway Integration

• Step 1: Install Laravel
• Step 2: Create PayPal Developer Account
• Step 3: Install srmklive/paypal Package
• Step 4: Create Route
• Step 5: Create Controller
• Step 6: Create Blade File
• Run Laravel App

Step 1: Install Laravel

To begin, we must obtain the latest version of the Laravel application by executing the command stated below. Open your terminal or command prompt and enter the given command.

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Create PayPal Developer Account

First you need to create PayPal Developer account and create app inside that account.

Create Account from here: developer.paypal.com.

1. Click to "Login in to Dashboard", If you don't have account with paypal then create new:

2. Next, Click on "Standard Checkout" button to create new developer app.

3. Next, Click on "Add Sandbox Credentials" and generate new credentials.

4. Next, Copy the client id and secret, Then click on test card button.

Next you need to add PAYPAL_MODE, PAYPAL_SANDBOX_CLIENT_ID and PAYPAL_SANDBOX_CLIENT_SECRET on .env file as like bellow:

.env

PAYPAL_MODE=sandbox
PAYPAL_SANDBOX_CLIENT_ID=YourClientKey
PAYPAL_SANDBOX_CLIENT_SECRET=YourClientSecret

Step 3: Install srmklive/paypal Package

In this step, we need to install srmklive/paypal composer package to use PayPal api. so let's run bellow command:

composer require srmklive/paypal

Step 4: Create Route

now we will create one route for calling our example, so let's add new route to web.php file as bellow:

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\PayPalController;
  
Route::get('paypal', [PayPalController::class, 'index'])->name('paypal');
Route::get('paypal/payment', [PayPalController::class, 'payment'])->name('paypal.payment');
Route::get('paypal/payment/success', [PayPalController::class, 'paymentSuccess'])->name('paypal.payment.success');
Route::get('paypal/payment/cancel', [PayPalController::class, 'paymentCancel'])->name('paypal.payment/cancel');

Step 5: Create Controller

in this step, we will create PayPalController and write payment logic, so let's add new route to web.php file as bellow:

app/Http/Controllers/PayPalController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Srmklive\PayPal\Services\PayPal as PayPalClient;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  
class PayPalController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('paypal');
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function payment(Request $request)
    {
        $provider = new PayPalClient;
        $provider->setApiCredentials(config('paypal'));
        $paypalToken = $provider->getAccessToken();
  
        $response = $provider->createOrder([
            "intent" => "CAPTURE",
            "application_context" => [
                "return_url" => route('paypal.payment.success'),
                "cancel_url" => route('paypal.payment/cancel'),
            ],
            "purchase_units" => [
                0 => [
                    "amount" => [
                        "currency_code" => "USD",
                        "value" => "100.00"
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ]);
  
        if (isset($response['id']) & $response['id'] != null) {
  
            foreach ($response['links'] as $links) {
                if ($links['rel'] == 'approve') {
                    return redirect()->away($links['href']);
                }
            }
  
            return redirect()
                ->route('cancel.payment')
                ->with('error', 'Something went wrong.');
  
        } else {
            return redirect()
                ->route('create.payment')
                ->with('error', $response['message'] ?? 'Something went wrong.');
        }
    
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function paymentCancel()
    {
        return redirect()
              ->route('paypal')
              ->with('error', $response['message'] ?? 'You have canceled the transaction.');
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function paymentSuccess(Request $request)
    {
        $provider = new PayPalClient;
        $provider->setApiCredentials(config('paypal'));
        $provider->getAccessToken();
        $response = $provider->capturePaymentOrder($request['token']);
  
        if (isset($response['status']) & $response['status'] == 'COMPLETED') {
            return redirect()
                ->route('paypal')
                ->with('success', 'Transaction complete.');
        } else {
            return redirect()
                ->route('paypal')
                ->with('error', $response['message'] ?? 'Something went wrong.');
        }
    }
}

Step 6: Create Blade File

                    @endif
  
                    @if ($message = Session::get('error'))
                        <div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
                          <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
