Create subscription form using Laravel and yabacon paystack
To create a subscription form using Laravel and Yabacon Paystack, follow these steps:
- Install the Laravel framework by running the command: composer create-project –prefer-dist laravel/laravel subscription-form
- Install the Paystack package by running the command: composer require yabacon/paystack-php
- In the .env file, add your Paystack API keys:
PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key PAYSTACK_PUBLIC_KEY=your_public_key
- In the config/paystack.php file, add the following:
‘public_key’ => env(‘PAYSTACK_PUBLIC_KEY’), ‘secret_key’ => env(‘PAYSTACK_SECRET_KEY’),
- In the routes/web.php file, create a route for the subscription form and a route for the subscription callback:
Route::get(‘/subscription-form’, ‘SubscriptionController@showForm’); Route::post(‘/subscription-form’, ‘SubscriptionController@processSubscription’); Route::post(‘/subscription-callback’, ‘SubscriptionController@subscriptionCallback’);
- In the app/Http/Controllers directory, create a SubscriptionController.php file and add the following code:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Yabacon\Paystack;
class SubscriptionController extends Controller { public function showForm() { return view(‘subscription-form’); }
Copy codepublic function processSubscription(Request $request)
{
$paystack = new Paystack();
try {
$subscription = $paystack->subscription()->create([
'customer' => $request->customer_email,
'plan' => $request->plan_id,
]);
if($subscription->status) {
// subscription successful, redirect to callback route
return redirect()->route('subscription-callback', ['reference' => $subscription->data->id]);
} else {
// subscription failed, display error message
return back()->with('error', $subscription->message);
}
} catch (\Exception $e) {
return back()->with('error', $e->getMessage());
}
}
public function subscriptionCallback(Request $request)
{
$paystack = new Paystack();
try {
$subscription = $paystack->subscription()->verify($request->reference);
if($subscription->status) {
// subscription verified, redirect to success page
return redirect()->route('subscription-success');
} else {
// subscription verification failed, display error message
return back()->with('error', $subscription->message);
}
} catch (\Exception $e) {
return back()->with('error', $e->getMessage());
}
}
}
- In the resources/views directory, create a subscription-form.blade.php file and add the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Subscription Form</title> </head> <
2 / 2
Complete the blade files
<body> @if ($errors->any()) <div> <ul> @foreach ($errors->all() as $error) <li>{{ $error }}</li> @endforeach </ul> </div> @endif <form action=”{{ route(‘subscription-form’) }}” method=”POST”> @csrf <label for=”customer_email”>Email:</label> <input type=”email” name=”customer_email” required> <br> <label for=”plan_id”>Plan:</label> <select name=”plan_id” required> <option value=”plan_abc123″>Plan ABC123</option> <option value=”plan_def456″>Plan DEF456</option> <option value=”plan_ghi789″>Plan GHI789</option> </select> <br> <input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe”> </form> </body> </html>
- In the resources/views directory, create a subscription-success.blade.php file and add the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Subscription Success</title> </head> <body> <p>Your subscription was successful!</p> </body> </html>
Continue
- In the routes/web.php file, add a route for the subscription success page:
Route::get(‘/subscription-success’, ‘SubscriptionController@showSuccessPage’);
- In the app/Http/Controllers/SubscriptionController.php file, add the following method:
public function showSuccessPage() { return view(‘subscription-success’); }
- Run the Laravel development server by running the command: php artisan serve
- Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000/subscription-form to access the subscription form. Fill in the form and submit it to complete the subscription process.
