An easy to use, consistent payment processing library for PHP 5.3+
Omnipay is a payment processing library for PHP. It has been designed based on ideas from Active Merchant, plus experience implementing dozens of gateways for CI Merchant. It has a clear and consistent API, is fully unit tested, and even comes with an example application to get you started.
Why use Omnipay instead of a gateway's official PHP package/example code?
- Because you can learn one API and use it in multiple projects using different payment gateways
- Because if you need to change payment gateways you won't need to rewrite your code
- Because most official PHP payment gateway libraries are a mess
- Because most payment gateways have exceptionally poor documentation
- Because you are writing a shopping cart and need to support multiple gateways
Important Note: Upgrading from < 2.0
If you are upgrading from a pre-2.0 version of Omnipay, please note that the project has now been split into multiple packages. There have also been some changes to how gateway instances are created. See the full release notes for more details.
Just want to see some code?
use Omnipay\Omnipay;
$gateway = Omnipay::create('Stripe');
$gateway->setApiKey('abc123');
$formData = ['number' => '4242424242424242', 'expiryMonth' => '6', 'expiryYear' => '2016', 'cvv' => '123'];
$response = $gateway->purchase(['amount' => '10.00', 'currency' => 'USD', 'card' => $formData])->send();
if ($response->isSuccessful()) {
// payment was successful: update database
print_r($response);
} elseif ($response->isRedirect()) {
// redirect to offsite payment gateway
$response->redirect();
} else {
// payment failed: display message to customer
echo $response->getMessage();
}
As you can see, Omnipay has a consistent, well thought out API. We try to abstract as much as possible the differences between the various payments gateways.
Omnipay is a collection of packages which all depend on the omnipay/common package to provide a consistent interface. There are no dependencies on official payment gateway PHP packages - we prefer to work with the HTTP API directly. Under the hood, we use the popular and powerful Guzzle library to make HTTP requests.
New gateways can be created by cloning the layout of an existing package. When choosing a
name for your package, please don't use the omnipay
vendor prefix, as this implies that
it is officially supported. You should use your own username as the vendor prefix, and prepend
omnipay-
to the package name to make it clear that your package works with Omnipay.
For example, if your GitHub username was santa
, and you were implementing the giftpay
payment library, a good name for your composer package would be santa/omnipay-giftpay
.
If you want to transfer your gateway to the omnipay
GitHub organization and add it
to the list of officially supported gateways, please open a pull request on the
omnipay/common package. Before new gateways will
be accepted, they must have 100% unit test code coverage, and follow the conventions
and code style used in other Omnipay gateways.
Omnipay is installed via Composer. For most uses, you will need to require an individual gateway:
composer require omnipay/paypal:~2.0
To install all officially supported gateways:
composer require omnipay/omnipay:~2.0
This will require ALL ~25 Omnipay gateways and is generally discouraged.
All payment gateways must implement GatewayInterface, and will usually extend AbstractGateway for basic functionality.

Gateways are created and initialized like so:
use Omnipay\Omnipay;
$gateway = Omnipay::create('PayPal_Express');
$gateway->setUsername('adrian');
$gateway->setPassword('12345');
Most settings are gateway specific. If you need to query a gateway to get a list
of available settings, you can call getDefaultParameters()
:
$settings = $gateway->getDefaultParameters();
// default settings array format:
array(
'username' => '', // string variable
'testMode' => false, // boolean variable
'landingPage' => array('billing', 'login'), // enum variable, first item should be treated as default
);
Generally most payment gateways can be classified as one of two types:
- Off-site gateways such as PayPal Express, where the customer is redirected to a third party site to enter payment details
- On-site (merchant-hosted) gateways such as PayPal Pro, where the customer enters their credit card details on your site
However, there are some gateways such as Sage Pay Direct, where you take credit card details on site, then optionally redirect if the customer's card supports 3D Secure authentication. Therefore, there is no point differentiating between the two types of gateway (other than by the methods they support).
User form input is directed to an CreditCard object. This provides a safe way to accept user input.
The CreditCard
object has the following fields:
- firstName
- lastName
- number
- expiryMonth
- expiryYear
- startMonth
- startYear
- cvv
- issueNumber
- type
- billingAddress1
- billingAddress2
- billingCity
- billingPostcode
- billingState
- billingCountry
- billingPhone
- shippingAddress1
- shippingAddress2
- shippingCity
- shippingPostcode
- shippingState
- shippingCountry
- shippingPhone
- company
Even off-site gateways make use of the CreditCard
object, because often you need to pass
customer billing or shipping details through to the gateway.
The CreditCard
object can be initialized with untrusted user input via the constructor.
Any fields passed to the constructor which are not recognized will be ignored.
$formInputData = array(
'firstName' => 'Bobby',
'lastName' => 'Tables',
'number' => '4111111111111111',
);
$card = new CreditCard($formInputData);
You can also just pass the form data array directly to the gateway, and a CreditCard
object
will be created for you.
CreditCard fields can be accessed using getters and setters:
$number = $card->getNumber();
$card->setFirstName('Adrian');
If you submit credit card details which are obviously invalid (missing required fields, or a number which fails the Luhn check), InvalidCreditCardException will be thrown. You should validate the card details using your framework's validation library before submitting the details to your gateway, to avoid unnecessary API calls.
For on-site payment gateways, the following card fields are generally required:
- firstName
- lastName
- number
- expiryMonth
- expiryYear
- cvv
You can also verify the card number using the Luhn algorithm by calling Helper::validateLuhn($number)
.
The main methods implemented by gateways are:
authorize($options)
- authorize an amount on the customer's cardcompleteAuthorize($options)
- handle return from off-site gateways after authorizationcapture($options)
- capture an amount you have previously authorizedpurchase($options)
- authorize and immediately capture an amount on the customer's cardcompletePurchase($options)
- handle return from off-site gateways after purchaserefund($options)
- refund an already processed transactionvoid($options)
- generally can only be called up to 24 hours after submitting a transaction
On-site gateways do not need to implement the completeAuthorize
and completePurchase
methods. If any gateway does not support
certain features (such as refunds), it will throw BadMethodCallException
.
All gateway methods take an $options
array as an argument. Each gateway differs in which
parameters are required, and the gateway will throw InvalidRequestException
if you
omit any required parameters. All gateways will accept a subset of these options:
- card
- token
- amount
- currency
- description
- transactionId
- clientIp
- returnUrl
- cancelUrl
Pass the options through to the method like so:
$card = new CreditCard($formData);
$request = $gateway->authorize([
'amount' => '10.00', // this represents $10.00
'card' => $card,
'returnUrl' => 'https://www.example.com/return',
]);
When calling the completeAuthorize
or completePurchase
methods, the exact same arguments should be provided as
when you made the initial authorize
or purchase
call (some gateways will need to verify for example the actual
amount paid equals the amount requested). The only parameter you can omit is card
.
To summarize the various parameters you have available to you:
- Gateway settings (e.g. username and password) are set directly on the gateway. These settings apply to all payments, and generally you will store these in a configuration file or in the database.
- Method options are used for any payment-specific options, which are not set by the customer. For example, the payment
amount
,currency
,transactionId
andreturnUrl
. - CreditCard parameters are data which the user supplies. For example, you want the user to specify their
firstName
andbillingCountry
, but you don't want a user to specify the paymentcurrency
orreturnUrl
.
The payment response must implement ResponseInterface. There are two main types of response:
- Payment was successful (standard response)
- Website requires redirect to off-site payment form (redirect response)
For a successful responses, a reference will normally be generated, which can be used to capture or refund the transaction at a later date. The following methods are always available:
$response = $gateway->purchase(['amount' => '10.00', 'card' => $card])->send();
$response->isSuccessful(); // is the response successful?
$response->isRedirect(); // is the response a redirect?
$response->getTransactionReference(); // a reference generated by the payment gateway
$response->getTransactionId(); // the reference set by the originating website if available.
$response->getMessage(); // a message generated by the payment gateway
In addition, most gateways will override the response object, and provide access to any extra fields returned by the gateway.
The redirect response is further broken down by whether the customer's browser must redirect using GET (RedirectResponse object), or
POST (FormRedirectResponse). These could potentially be combined into a single response class, with a getRedirectMethod()
.
After processing a payment, the cart should check whether the response requires a redirect, and if so, redirect accordingly:
$response = $gateway->purchase(['amount' => '10.00', 'card' => $card])->send();
if ($response->isSuccessful()) {
// payment is complete
} elseif ($response->isRedirect()) {
$response->redirect(); // this will automatically forward the customer
} else {
// not successful
}
The customer isn't automatically forwarded on, because often the cart or developer will want to customize the redirect method (or if payment processing is happening inside an AJAX call they will want to return JS to the browser instead).
To display your own redirect page, simply call getRedirectUrl()
on the response, then display it accordingly:
$url = $response->getRedirectUrl();
// for a form redirect, you can also call the following method:
$data = $response->getRedirectData(); // associative array of fields which must be posted to the redirectUrl
You can test for a successful response by calling isSuccessful()
on the response object. If there
was an error communicating with the gateway, or your request was obviously invalid, an exception
will be thrown. In general, if the gateway does not throw an exception, but returns an unsuccessful
response, it is a message you should display to the customer. If an exception is thrown, it is
either a bug in your code (missing required fields), or a communication error with the gateway.
You can handle both scenarios by wrapping the entire request in a try-catch block:
try {
$response = $gateway->purchase(['amount' => '10.00', 'card' => $card])->send();
if ($response->isSuccessful()) {
// mark order as complete
} elseif ($response->isRedirect()) {
$response->redirect();
} else {
// display error to customer
exit($response->getMessage());
}
} catch (\Exception $e) {
// internal error, log exception and display a generic message to the customer
exit('Sorry, there was an error processing your payment. Please try again later.');
}
Token billing allows you to store a credit card with your gateway, and charge it at a later date. Token billing is not supported by all gateways. For supported gateways, the following methods are available:
createCard($options)
- returns a response object which includes acardReference
, which can be used for future transactionsupdateCard($options)
- update a stored card, not all gateways support this methoddeleteCard($options)
- remove a stored card, not all gateways support this method
Once you have a cardReference
, you can use it instead of the card
parameter when creating a charge:
$gateway->purchase(['amount' => '10.00', 'cardReference' => 'abc']);
At this stage, automatic recurring payments functionality is out of scope for this library. This is because there is likely far too many differences between how each gateway handles recurring billing profiles. Also in most cases token billing will cover your needs, as you can store a credit card then charge it on whatever schedule you like. Feel free to get in touch if you really think this should be a core feature and worth the effort.
An example application is provided in the omnipay/example repo. You can run it using PHP's built in web server (PHP 5.4+):
$ php composer.phar update --dev
$ php -S localhost:8000
