Payment Callback

The package provides a callback endpoint at /clickpesa/callback. Configure this URL in your Clickpesa dashboard.

The callback dispatches a PaymentReceived event:

use Dawilly\Dawilly\Events\PaymentReceived;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;

Event::listen(PaymentReceived::class, function (PaymentReceived $event) {
    $paymentData = $event->paymentData;
    
    // Update your order status
    // Send confirmation email
    // Log transaction
});

Status Values

Payment Status

• PROCESSING - Payment initiated, awaiting customer confirmation
• SUCCESS - Payment completed successfully
• FAILED - Payment failed
• SETTLED - Payment settled

Payout Status

• AUTHORIZED - Payout authorized, processing
• SUCCESS - Payout completed successfully
• REVERSED - Payout was reversed

Error Handling

All methods return consistent error responses:

$response = Clickpesa::initiateUssdPushRequest([...]);

if (isset($response['success']) && $response['success'] === false) {
    // Handle error
    $message = $response['message'];
    $details = $response['response'] ?? null;
    
    // Log error
    Log::error('Clickpesa Error', $response);
}
