PayTabs Laravel Package makes integration with the PayTabs payment gateway very easy by providing a ready-made payment class that handles the card entry, and billing & shipping information and completes the missing details.

This article is dedicated to walking you through how to manage how to initiate a payment request with a specific transaction type. The following transaction type keys can be sent within the "sendTransaction" function as shown below:




Through out the article we will use the transaction types clarified in our What is "tran_type"? solution article.


  • "auth"
  • "sale"

paypage::sendTransaction($tran_type,$tran_class)
This "sendTransaction" method is Mandatory, not passing it would throw an exception also the
tha $tan_class cannot be null.


Transaction Type

  • Sale


    This means that the amount of the transaction will be deducted directly from the customer's bank account once he submits the purchase, and it will be transferred to the acquirer's bank account. 



  • Auth

    This means the amount of the purchase will be deducted from the cardholder's bank account, yet it will be held (authorized) for a certain period of time/days, differing from one issuer bank to another. This amount will remain at the cardholder bank until it gets captured. In other words, it will not be transferred to the acquirer's bank account until it gets captured from your side; otherwise, it will be voided back to the customer.


Transaction Class

  • ecom
     

    The initial request to create any payment page should be with class "ecom", which indicates to eCommerce in the code below


paypage::sendTransaction('sale','ecom')


  • recurring
         Tokenization is the process of protecting sensitive data by replacing it with an algorithmically generated number called a token. This can be used to allow returning customers to purchase without re-entering credit card details (recurring) such as monthly subscription fees. 
     
paypage::sendTransaction('sale','recurring')
