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 send user-defined parameters/values 

which are parameters that can be passed within the Transaction API request your own "user-defined fields" up to 9 fields, and accordingly, you would receive those fields in the callback response.


Through out the article we will use the same concept clarified in our Request Parameters | Pre-Defiend/Custom User Parameters (user_defined) solution article.



Parameters with values to be sent within the requested payment page, as shown below:


            ->sendUserDefined(
                [
                    "udf1"=>"UDF1 Test",
                    "udf2"=>"UDF2 Test",
                    "udf3"=>"UDF3 Test",
//                  ...
                    "udf9"=>"UDF9 Test"
                ]
            );
