Caution

This package is deprecated and unmaintained. Polar's API has moved on (checkout body shape, webhook secret format, signature verification semantics) and keeping this package in step would be a permanent moving-target chase. Use danestves/laravel-polar instead — it ships against the current Polar API, is built on the official polar-sh/sdk, and has a healthy upstream maintenance cadence.

Quick migration map (≈30 min for a typical app)

This package	`danestves/laravel-polar`
`use AkyrosLabs\Polar\Billable;`	`use Danestves\LaravelPolar\Billable;`
`$user->checkout($productId)`	`$user->checkout([$productId])` (array)
`->metadata([...])` / `->successUrl(...)`	`->withMetadata([...])` / `->withSuccessUrl(...)`
Event: `AkyrosLabs\Polar\Events\OrderCreated` with `$event->data` array	`Danestves\LaravelPolar\Events\OrderCreated` with `$event->billable`, `$event->order`, `$event->payload`
`POLAR_API_KEY`, `POLAR_SANDBOX=true\|false`	`POLAR_ACCESS_TOKEN`, `POLAR_SERVER=sandbox\|production`, `POLAR_ORGANIZATION_ID`
`polar_orders.polar_customer_id` column	renames to `customer_id`
Webhook URL `/polar/webhook`	unchanged (`/polar/webhook`)

The webhook controller + event names are deliberately close enough that most listeners just need an import swap and a small refactor of how they read order metadata (the new event ships the full SDK payload as $event->payload; round-trip via json_decode(json_encode($event->payload), true) if you need the flat array shape this package used to provide).

The repository will be archived shortly. Issues and PRs will not be reviewed.

Polar.sh integration for Laravel — subscriptions, checkout, customer portal, webhooks, plan limits, usage billing, benefits, and more. Polar as Merchant of Record.

No tax headaches. No invoice logic. Polar handles it all.

Setup

Add the Billable trait to your model:

use AkyrosLabs\Polar\Billable;

class Tenant extends Model
{
    use Billable;
}

https://your-app.com/polar/webhook

Checkout

// Redirect to Polar checkout
return $tenant->checkout('price_id')
    ->successUrl('/dashboard?upgraded=1')
    ->redirect();

// Subscribe to a plan
return $tenant->subscribe('price_id')
    ->successUrl('/dashboard')
    ->redirect();

// One-time charge
return $tenant->charge(4999, 'product_id')
    ->redirect();

// Just get the URL
$url = $tenant->checkout('price_id')->url();

Subscription Management

// Check status
$tenant->subscribed();              // Has active subscription?
$tenant->subscribed('default', $productId);  // On specific product?
$tenant->onTrial();                 // In trial?
$tenant->onGracePeriod();           // Canceled but still active?

// Get subscription
$sub = $tenant->subscription();
$sub->active();                     // Active?
$sub->canceled();                   // Canceled?
$sub->valid();                      // Active, trial, or grace period?
$sub->ended();                      // Fully ended?
$sub->pastDue();                    // Payment past due?

// Actions
$sub->swap('new_price_id');         // Change plan
$sub->cancel();                     // Cancel at period end
$sub->resume();                     // Resume during grace period

Customer Portal

return redirect($tenant->customerPortalUrl());

// Or shorthand
return $tenant->redirectToCustomerPortal();

Plan Limits & Features

$tenant->planName();                    // "pro"
$tenant->planLimit('servers');          // 50
$tenant->planLimit('users');            // 10
$tenant->hasFeature('attack_mode');     // true
$tenant->onFreePlan();                  // false
$tenant->exceedsLimit('servers', 48);   // false
$tenant->exceedsLimit('servers', 50);   // true
$tenant->planLimits();                  // ['servers' => 50, 'users' => 10]
$tenant->planFeatures();               // ['*']

Usage-Based Billing

// Track single event
$tenant->ingestUsageEvent('api_call', ['endpoint' => '/servers']);

// Batch events
$tenant->ingestUsageEvents([
    ['name' => 'api_call', 'metadata' => ['endpoint' => '/alerts']],
    ['name' => 'api_call', 'metadata' => ['endpoint' => '/servers']],
]);

// Get meters
$tenant->listCustomerMeters();

Benefits

$tenant->listBenefits();
$tenant->getBenefit('benefit_id');
$tenant->listBenefitGrants('benefit_id');

Orders

$tenant->orders;                          // All orders
$tenant->hasPurchasedProduct('product_id'); // Check purchase

Webhooks

The package automatically processes these Polar events:

Event	Action
`subscription.created`	Creates subscription + customer record
`subscription.updated`	Syncs status, product, period end
`subscription.active`	Sets status to active
`subscription.canceled`	Sets status to canceled
`subscription.revoked`	Sets status to revoked
`order.created`	Creates order record
`order.updated`	Syncs order data
`customer.created/updated/deleted`	Syncs customer records
`checkout.created/updated`	Fires events
`benefit_grant.created/updated/revoked`	Fires events

Custom Event Listeners

use AkyrosLabs\Polar\Events\SubscriptionCreated;

class HandleNewSubscription
{
    public function handle(SubscriptionCreated $event): void
    {
        $tenant = $event->billable;
        // Send welcome email, provision resources, etc.
    }
}

17 events available: WebhookReceived, WebhookHandled, SubscriptionCreated, SubscriptionUpdated, SubscriptionActive, SubscriptionCanceled, SubscriptionRevoked, OrderCreated, OrderUpdated, CustomerCreated, CustomerUpdated, CustomerDeleted, CheckoutCreated, CheckoutUpdated, BenefitGrantCreated, BenefitGrantUpdated, BenefitGrantRevoked

Middleware

// In bootstrap/app.php — auto-registered as 'subscribed'
Route::middleware('subscribed')->group(function () {
    // Requires any active subscription
});

Route::middleware('subscribed:pro')->group(function () {
    // Requires specific plan
});

Blade Directives

@subscribed
    <p>You have an active subscription.</p>
@endsubscribed

@onPlan('pro')
    <p>Pro features here.</p>
@endonPlan

@onTrial
    <p>Your trial ends soon.</p>
@endonTrial

@feature('attack_mode')
    <button>Activate Attack Mode</button>
@endfeature

Artisan Commands

# Sync all subscriptions with Polar
php artisan polar:sync

# List all products
php artisan polar:products

Facade

use AkyrosLabs\Polar\Facades\Polar;

$products = Polar::listProducts();
$subscription = Polar::getSubscription($id);
$session = Polar::createCustomerSession($customerId);

Database Tables

Table	Purpose
`polar_customers`	Billable ↔ Polar customer mapping, generic trial
`polar_subscriptions`	Active subscriptions with status, product, period
`polar_orders`	Orders with amounts, tax, refund tracking

All tables use polymorphic billable relationships — works with any model.
