Configuration
At your project root, create a .env file and in it set the consumer key and consumer secret as follows

FLEXPAY_API_SECRET=[consumer secret]
FLEXPAY_TIMEOUT=[timeout]
FLEXPAY_ENV=[production or staging]

Usage

web.php:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use EvansWanguba\Flexpay\Http\Controllers\WebhookController;

Route::post('flexpay/webhook', [WebhookController::class, 'handle']);

WebhookController.php

namespace EvansWanguba\Flexpay\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;

class WebhookController extends Controller
{
    public function handle(Request $request)
    {
        // Flexpay recommends quick 2xx responses and async processing.
        // Log and push to queue for heavy work.
        \Log::info('Flexpay webhook received', $request->all());
        // example: validate minimal payload
        $payload = $request->all();
        // You should process asynchronously (dispatch job) - but respond immediately:
        return response()->json(['status' => 'ok'], 200);
    }
}
