Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/KabriAcid/e-payment.git
   cd e-payment

2. Set up your local server (e.g., XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP) and place the project in the appropriate directory (e.g., htdocs for XAMPP).

3. Ensure you have PHP and MySQL installed on your machine.

Usage

1. Start your local server.

2. Access the project in your web browser:

   http://localhost/e-payment/public/
   

Configuration

1. Flutterwave API Keys: Obtain your Flutterwave API keys from the Flutterwave Dashboard.

2. Config File: Update the config.php file with your database credentials and API keys.

Payment Integration

The payment integration is handled using Flutterwave. Below are the key steps involved:

1. Create a Simple Payment Form:

   • An HTML form collects the payment details from the user.
   • A JavaScript function initializes the Flutterwave payment popup.

2. Verify Payment:

   • After the payment, Flutterwave redirects the user to redirect.php.
   • redirect.php extracts the transaction ID and uses CURL to verify the payment with Flutterwave's API.
   • If the payment is successful, it updates the database and displays a success message.

3. Redirect to Dashboard:

   • The success message is displayed briefly before redirecting the user to dashboard.php.

Database Structure

Create the database and table to store the transaction details:

CREATE DATABASE e-payment;

USE e-payment;

CREATE TABLE transactions (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    transaction_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    amount DECIMAL(10, 2) NOT NULL,
    currency VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
    customer_email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    status VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
