Class 'Paystack' not found in Laravel 5.4

[jgodstime]

I followed all the steps yet am having this error Class 'Paystack' not found. I tried all suggestions made in this issue "Class 'Paystack' not found #52 ", but to no avail. (may be due to the fact they are using Laravel 5.6).

I also tried using use \Unicodeveloper\Paystack\Paystack; instead of use Paystack But i got this error Non-static method Unicodeveloper\Paystack\Paystack::getAuthorizationUrl() should not be called statically

Please help...

You need to create an instance of the class Paystack

Like this:

    use Unicodeveloper\Paystack\Paystack;
   :
   :
    public function redirectToGateway(Request $request)
    {
        $paystack = new Paystack();
        $user = Auth::user();
        $request->email = $user->email;
        $request->orderID = '3';
        $request->amount = '200000';
        $request->quantity = '1';
        $request->reference = $paystack->genTranxRef();
        $request->key = config('paystack.secretKey');
        return $paystack->getAuthorizationUrl()->redirectNow();
    }

Thanks @dbkonxepts that prompted another error

(1/1) RequestException cURL error 3: malformed (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html)

in CurlFactory.php (line 186)

I will also be grateful if you can help me with a fix on this issue. Thanks Bro

If you can send an excerpt of your code i.e in redirectToGateway or your custom pay method so I know where the error is coming from.

1. Check to make sure your .env is appropriate filled i.e.

   PAYSTACK_PUBLIC_KEY=yourPublicKey
   PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY=yourSecretKey
   PAYSTACK_PAYMENT_URL=https://api.paystack.co
   MERCHANT_EMAIL=yourMail (Registered on Paystack Site)

2. Ensure you have "paystack.php" config file in your "\config\" folder with this content:

   'publicKey' => getenv('PAYSTACK_PUBLIC_KEY'),
   'secretKey' => getenv('PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY'),
   'paymentUrl' => getenv('PAYSTACK_PAYMENT_URL'),
   'merchantEmail' => getenv('MERCHANT_EMAIL'),

   However, errors at curl level like this imply some fields/variables are possibly missing in the url or it isn't all together correct.

Yes 1 and 2 are very ok. Here are my code

---- My route Route::get('/payment', 'HomeController@paymentDisplay'); Route::post('/pay', [ 'uses' => 'PaymentController@redirectToGateway', 'as' => 'pay' ]); Route::get('/payment/callback', 'PaymentController@handleGatewayCallback');

----- My Payment Controller public function redirectToGateway() { $paystack = new Paystack(); return $paystack->getAuthorizationUrl()->redirectNow(); }

public function handleGatewayCallback()

{ $paystack = new Paystack();

$paymentDetails = $paystack->getPaymentData();

dd($paymentDetails); // Now you have the payment details, // you can store the authorization_code in your db to allow for recurrent subscriptions // you can then redirect or do whatever you want

}

Thanks Bro.

Alright, so I have seen your code. Cool.

"Laravel Paystack" Readme/Documenation still needs some adjustments and improvements [Which I'm working on including some new boiler boilerplates, gonna do a PR soon!]; As such don't follow all you see.

Here are the changes I would employ you make.

1. You need to pass in Request $request in your pay method i.e

   public function redirectToGateway(Request $request)
   {
       //Thats how you get the data (from your blade).
   }

2. There are required data that needs to be loaded before a redirection to paystack site can take place. -Customer email, -Amount, -Reference and -Key All of which should be done in the pay method [For security and to avoid stress & issues]. This can be done as shown below. [Do make sure you have confirmed all configs and env] Here

   public function redirectToGateway(Request $request)
   {
       $paystack = new Paystack();
   
       // For user email
       $user = Auth::user(); // This fetches the logged in user
   
       //Initialize the required data here locally not from blade view      
       $request->email = $user->email;
       $request->amount = '200000';
       $request->reference = $paystack->genTranxRef();
       $request->key = config('paystack.secretKey');
   
       return $paystack->getAuthorizationUrl()->redirectNow();
   }

   And that's it if you follow the steps above without missing anything you should be fine.
