Laravel Google Pay Integration Example

In this post, we'll walk through the process of integrating Google Pay in a Laravel application.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

First, ensure your project is set up with the necessary packages. You can use the following command to install a payment gateway package like Stripe or Braintree if required:

composer require stripe/stripe-php

Step 2: Setup Google Pay in Frontend

Next, add Google Pay JavaScript in your Blade template or HTML page:

<script async src="https://pay.google.com/gp/p/js/pay.js"></script>

Step 3: Initialize Google Pay

Add the following JavaScript code to initialize Google Pay:

<script>
  const baseRequest = {
    apiVersion: 2,
    apiVersionMinor: 0
  };

  const allowedCardNetworks = ["MASTERCARD", "VISA"];
  const allowedCardAuthMethods = ["PAN_ONLY", "CRYPTOGRAM_3DS"];

  const tokenizationSpecification = {
    type: 'PAYMENT_GATEWAY',
    parameters: {
      'gateway': 'stripe', // or your gateway name
      'stripe:version': '2020-08-27',
      'stripe:publishableKey': 'your-publishable-key'
    }
  };

  const cardPaymentMethod = {
    type: 'CARD',
    parameters: {
      allowedAuthMethods: allowedCardAuthMethods,
      allowedCardNetworks: allowedCardNetworks
    },
    tokenizationSpecification: tokenizationSpecification
  };

  const paymentsClient = new google.payments.api.PaymentsClient({ environment: 'TEST' });

  const paymentDataRequest = Object.assign({}, baseRequest);
  paymentDataRequest.allowedPaymentMethods = [cardPaymentMethod];
  paymentDataRequest.transactionInfo = {
    totalPriceStatus: 'FINAL',
    totalPrice: '10.00',
    currencyCode: 'USD'
  };
  paymentDataRequest.merchantInfo = {
    merchantId: 'your-merchant-id',
    merchantName: 'Your Merchant Name'
  };

  function onGooglePayLoaded() {
    paymentsClient.isReadyToPay({ allowedPaymentMethods: [cardPaymentMethod] })
      .then(function(response) {
        if (response.result) {
          createAndAddButton();
        }
      })
      .catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
      });
  }

  function createAndAddButton() {
    const button = paymentsClient.createButton({ onClick: onGooglePayButtonClicked });
    document.getElementById('container').appendChild(button);
  }

  function onGooglePayButtonClicked() {
    paymentsClient.loadPaymentData(paymentDataRequest)
      .then(function(paymentData) {
        // Handle payment data
        console.log(paymentData);
      })
      .catch(function(err) {
        console.error(err);
      });
  }
</script>
  

Step 4: Backend Integration

On the server side, you can use a package like stripe/stripe-php to process the payment:

<?php

namespace App\\Http\\Controllers;

use Illuminate\\Http\\Request;
use Stripe\\Stripe;
use Stripe\\Charge;

class PaymentController extends Controller
{
    public function processPayment(Request $request)
    {
        Stripe::setApiKey('your-stripe-secret-key');

        try {
            $charge = Charge::create([
                'amount' => $request->amount,
                'currency' => 'usd',
                'source' => $request->token,
                'description' => 'Payment Description'
            ]);

            return response()->json(['success' => true, 'data' => $charge]);
        } catch (\\Exception $e) {
            return response()->json(['success' => false, 'message' => $e->getMessage()]);
        }
    }
}
  

Step 5: Testing

Make sure to test your integration in the Google Pay TEST environment before switching to production.

With this setup, you have a working integration of Google Pay with Laravel!
