Create a subscription form using Laravel and the Paystack API

Use paystack api to create Laravel subscription form

To create a subscription form using Laravel and the Paystack API, you will need to use the Paystack PHP library and the subscription.create API endpoint. This endpoint allows you to create a subscription plan and a customer, and then associate the customer with the plan.

Here is an example of how you could use the subscription.create API endpoint to create a subscription form in Laravel:

Copy code<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Yabacon\Paystack;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class SubscriptionController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        // Set your Paystack API keys
        $paystack = new Paystack('sk_test_your_paystack_secret_key');

        // Set the subscription details
        $plan_code = 'my_plan_code';
        $email = 'customer@example.com';
        $amount = 10000; // in kobo
        $interval = 'monthly';

        try {
            // Create the subscription plan
            $plan = $paystack->plan->create([
                'name' => 'My Plan',
                'description' => 'Monthly subscription to My Plan',
                'amount' => $amount,
                'interval' => $interval,
                'plan_code' => $plan_code,
            ]);

            // Create the customer
            $customer = $paystack->customer->create([
                'email' => $email,
                'first_name' => 'John',
                'last_name' => 'Doe',
            ]);

            // Associate the customer with the subscription plan
            $subscription = $paystack->subscription->create([
                'customer' => $customer->id,
                'plan' => $plan->id,
            ]);

            // Pass the subscription details to the view
            return view('subscriptions.index', compact('subscription'));
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            // Handle errors
            return redirect()->back()->with('error', $e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

In this example, the index method of the SubscriptionController creates a subscription plan, customer, and subscription using the Paystack API. It then passes the subscription details to the view, which can display a subscription form with a button that redirects the customer to the Paystack payment page. After the customer completes the payment, they will be redirected back to your website and the subscription will be activated.
