1. Run the following command to install: composer require nevar/mpesa

2. If you are using older versions of Laravel 5 be sure to include the following provivers in your app/config.php

<?php

return [
    'providers' => [
        /*
         * Package Service Providers...
         */

        MPESA\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class,
        MPESA\Providers\ConfigurationServiceProvider::class,
        MPESA\Providers\OnlinePaymentServiceProvider::class,
    ]
];

1. Then run php artisan vendor:publish --tag=mpesa-config

2. Add the following values to you .env file

MPESA_DEVELOPEMENT_MODE=true
MPESA_USERNAME=m&yu$ern@ame
MPESA_PASSWORD=password
MPESA_PAYBILLNO=0000
MPESA_STK_PASSKEY=000c2daf998f92aa5a925350031f2471f873bff7877879b45cc364f2cb9a9907ef1245
MPESA_CALLBACK_URL= http://5c3f4b1d.ngrok.io/api/mpesa/callback

1. MPESA_DEVELOPEMENT_MODE should be false if in production otherwise leave it as true

2. If you're developing login and get test credentials from here so as to populate your environment variables.

STK-Push

1. Below is a use case on how to request for payment via STK-Push.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use MPESA\Services\OnlinePaymentService;

class PaymentController extends Controller
{
    public function requestPayment(Request $request,OnlinePaymentService $stk)
    {
        // phone number
        $user_phone_number = "254712345678"; # insert user phone number
        $amount = 50; # insert amount payable

        // this is optional if you want to overide the IPN on your .env
        $stk->callBackURL = "http://8bbea5f4.ngrok.io/api/mpesa/response-callback";
        
        // request for payment
        $stk->initiateSTKCheckout($amount,$user_phone_number);

    }
}

1. Set up your call back incase of successfull or cancelled payments . Your callback url should match the .env variable MPESA_CALLBACK_URL or $stk->callBackURL override. For more information on the json response from MPESA visit here

2. Otherwise here is a sample of the IPN callback

 // A cancelled request
  {
    "Body":{
      "stkCallback":{
        "MerchantRequestID":"8555-67195-1",
        "CheckoutRequestID":"ws_CO_27072017151044001",
        "ResultCode":1032,
        "ResultDesc":"[STK_CB - ]Request cancelled by user"
      }
    }
  }
  
  // An accepted request
  {
    "Body":{
      "stkCallback":{
        "MerchantRequestID":"19465-780693-1",
        "CheckoutRequestID":"ws_CO_27072017154747416",
        "ResultCode":0,
        "ResultDesc":"The service request is processed successfully.",
        "CallbackMetadata":{
          "Item":[
            {
              "Name":"Amount",
              "Value":1
            },
            {
              "Name":"MpesaReceiptNumber",
              "Value":"LGR7OWQX0R"
            },
            {

            },
            {
              "Name":"TransactionDate",
              "Value":20170727154800
            },
            {
              "Name":"PhoneNumber",
              "Value":254721566839
