A Payfast Onsite Payments implementation for Laravel designed to ease subscription billing. Livewire views are included.
Requirements:
- PHP 8.3
- Laravel 11.x or higher

- A Payfast account
- Sanctum
If you want to use Laravel Nova, version 4 is required for the Subscription and Receipt resources.
Installation

composer require fintechsystems/payfast-onsite-subscriptions
If you don't have Sanctum already:
php artisan install:api
Publish Configuration and Views
Publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="FintechSystems\Payfast\PayfastServiceProvider" --tag="config"
Publish the Success and Cancelled views and the Livewire components for subscriptions and receipts.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="FintechSystems\Payfast\PayfastServiceProvider" --tag="views"
These files are:
banner.blade.php
billing.blade.php
cancel.blade.php
pricing.blade.php
receipts.blade.php
subscriptions.blade.php
success.blade.php
Setup
Add the Billable() trait to your user model.
use FintechSystems\Payfast\Billable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
/** @use HasFactory<\Database\Factories\UserFactory> */
use HasFactory, Notifiable;
use Billable;
In your header
@if (config('payfast.test_mode'))
<!-- Payfast Test Mode -->
<script src="https://sandbox.payfast.co.za/onsite/engine.js" defer></script>
@else
<script src="https://www.payfast.co.za/onsite/engine.js" defer></script>
@endif
@stack('payfast-event-listener')
To include the pricing component on a page, do this:
In your header:
@vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
In your view:
@include('payfast::components.pricing')
Nova Integration
Optionally publish Laravel Nova Subscription and Receipts Resources and Actions
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="FintechSystems\Payfast\PayfastServiceProvider" --tag="nova-resources"

Livewire setup
Views
The Livewire views are modelled to blend into a Laravel Jetstream user profile page.
Adding a billing menu
In app.blade.php below in the Account Management sections (e.g., below profile):
<x-dropdown-link href="/user/billing">
Billing
</x-dropdown-link>
Also look for the responsive part and add this:
<x-responsive-nav-link href="/user/billing" :active="request()->routeIs('profile.billing')">
Billing
</x-responsive-nav-link>
Adding the subscriptions and receipts views
When calling the Livewire component, you can override any Payfast form field by specifying a mergeFields array.
Example modification Jetstream Livewire's resources/views/profiles/show.php:
Replace $user->name with your first name and last name fields.
<!-- Subscriptions -->
<div class="mt-10 sm:mt-0">
@livewire('subscriptions', ['mergeFields' => [
'name_first' => $user->name,
'name_last' => $user->name,
'item_description' => 'Subscription to Online Service'
]] )
</div>
<x-payfast::section-border />
<!-- End Subscriptions -->
<!-- Receipts -->
<div class="mt-10 sm:mt-0">
@livewire('receipts')
</div>
<x-payfast::section-border />
<!-- End Receipts -->
Usage
Examples
- Generate a payment link
- Create an adhoc token optionally specifying the amount
- Cancel a subscription
- Update a card
use FintechSystems\Payfast\Facades\Payfast;
Route::get('/payment', function() {
return Payfast::payment(5,'Order #1');
});
Route::get('/cancel-subscription', function() {
return Payfast::cancelSubscription('73d2a218-695e-4bb5-9f62-383e53bef68f');
});
Route::get('/create-subscription', function() {
return Payfast::createSubscription(
Carbon::now()->addDay()->format('Y-m-d'),
5, // Amount
6 // Frequency (6 = annual, 3 = monthly)
);
});
Route::get('/create-adhoc-token', function() {
return Payfast::createAdhocToken(5);
});
Route::get('/fetch-subscription', function() {
return Payfast::fetchSubscription('21189d52-12eb-4108-9c0e-53343c7ac692');
});
Route::get('/update-card', function() {
return Payfast::updateCardLink('40ab3194-20f0-4814-8c89-4d2a6b5462ed');
});
Testing
How to determine when a user's subscription ends
$user->subscription('default')->ends_at = [date in the past]
composer test
In your main project, add this:
"repositories": [
{
"type": "path",
"url": "../payfast-onsite-subscriptions"
}
],
Then do this to symlink the library:
composer require fintechsystems/payfast-onsite-subscriptions:dev-main
If you want to test trials, use this one-liner to activate a billable user and a trial using Tinker:
$user = User::find(x)->createAsCustomer(['trial_ends_at' => now()->addDays(30)]);
