        "amount" => 10,

Features

🔐 Idempotency

Protect against duplicate charges by providing an idempotencyKey in the options array.

🔄 Environment Detection

The SDK automatically switches between sandbox and live environments based on your API key prefix (sk_test_ vs sk_live_).

📊 Balance Check

Check your available and pending balances for your current environment.

$balance = $malipo->balance->retrieve();
print_r($balance['available']);

Webhooks

use Malipo\Malipo;

$malipo = new Malipo('...');

$payload = file_get_contents('php://input');
$signature = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_WEBHOOK_SIGNATURE'];
$secret = 'whsec_your_secret';

try {
    $event = $malipo->webhooks->constructEvent($payload, $signature, $secret);
    
    if ($event['type'] === 'charge.succeeded') {
        $charge = $event['data']['object'];
        // Handle successful payment
    }
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    http_response_code(400);
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
