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/manipulate both shipping and billing/customer information in this package, as shown below:


Through out the article we will use the same concepet clarified in our How to remove/hide the billing/shipping information?  solution article.





The following parameters are required to be sent within the "sendCustomerDetails" function but optional to be sent within the "sendShippingDetails" function, as shown below:

sendCustomerDetails($name, $email, $phone, $street1, $city, $state, $country, $zip, $ip)
sendShippingDetails($same_as_billing, $name = null, $email = null, $phone = null, $street1 = null, $city = null, $state = null, $country = null, $zip = null, $ip = null)


Those two methods indicate the customer/billing details and shipping details for the initiated payment. Only if provided the payment page will be prefilled with these data.


The customer details are still required and must be passed, in case any of the details are missing or passed with invalid values; the cardholder will be required to enter any of the missing details on the payment page
