Paystack intergration in laravel

@thedesignlog have you checked this library:

https://github.com/unicodeveloper/laravel-paystack

And these videos:

Starting from this video, and there are 2 more I think.

Paystack has a contributed library for Laravel.

https://github.com/unicodeveloper/laravel-paystack

I've used it in two of my Laravel projects, just follow the documentations and you will be fine.

I ran "composer require unicodeveloper/laravel-paystack" and I keep getting this:

- Installation request for laravel/framework (locked at v6.6.0, required as ^6.2) -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v6.6.0].

- Installation request for unicodeveloper/laravel-paystack ^1.0 -> satisfiable by unicodeveloper/laravel-paystack[1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2].


-Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

@thedesignlog it seems like the package is not compatible with Laravel 6 yet.

There is a PR for this out, but has not been merged yet

https://github.com/unicodeveloper/laravel-paystack/pull/83

is there an alternative to this or i just have to wait?

You can install or downgrade laravel to a prior release, or just check on Google how you can pull from a PR that has not been merged yet :)

I don't know of any other package.

Is it possible for me to downgrade laravel from v6 to v5 so i can use the paystack plugin?

You do not have to use a library, you could just make a CURL request to the paystack endpoint. Below is an example of how to confirm payment:

    /**
     * Handle the process of verifying BVN
     *
     * @param  $bvn
     * @return
     */
    public function confirmBvn($bvn)
    {
          $url = 'https://api.paystack.co/bank/resolve_bvn/'.$bvn;

          $ch = curl_init();
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
          curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
          curl_setopt(
            $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
              'Authorization: Bearer sk_test_da5d641bf00am6413a188c2b383c4b263823e195a5'
            ]
          );
          $request = curl_exec($ch);
          curl_close($ch);

          if ($request) {
            $result = json_decode($request, true);
            return $result;
          }
    }

That I used within my code.

Of course it is, but it is much better to create a new app if you just started, so just check which version the package supports and install a project with that specific version.

i want to implement the paystack in my website from scratch. Can you talk me through it or link me to an article about it without having to use the library.

I already give you the code above to help you do it without the package. Observe the code properly, its a method.

All you have to do is pass the bvn to it and change to your Authorization Header

I am a little bit confused atm. I have everything working fine but i am trying to set up webhooks. Have you done that yet?
