Payment Module

[lizztt]

I've successfully integrated the payment module into the BomaCare Web Application using the Daraja API. To enable external access to the Daraja API service, I utilized ngrok to establish a tunnel from my local environment. Additionally, I set up a dedicated Daraja API BomaCare App, configuring essential credentials such as consumer_key and consumer_secret in both the .env file and the payment controller.

Furthermore, I created the payment routes within the homeowner group in web.php.

To run this on your machine, follow these steps:

1. Set up ngrok:
2. Create an account on ngrok and install it on your local machine.
3. After installation, copy the ngrok-generated URL.
4. Configure callback URLs: Paste the ngrok-generated URL into both $callbackUrl in PaymentController.php and
   MPESA_CALLBACK_URL in the .env file.
5. Configure Environment Variables: Ensure the following environment variables are added to your .env file:

MPESA_CONSUMER_KEY=sF1Yl7KfggOdl7nMtGJ18uuHwzlD4b8GmMX4GFyizEPj4FXL
MPESA_CONSUMER_SECRET=s2lAFyCeLP9vJ9CWtDXoBvYd4Q7goOBRKbjEbGl3x5S2GWtJ3jr3kcLgIUcuAQCN
MPESA_SHORTCODE=174379
MPESA_PASSKEY=bfb279f9aa9bdbcf158e97dd71a467cd2c2e1b68413c5b234cfb479c2e8c9a43
MPESA_ENV=sandbox
MPESA_CALLBACK_URL='insert your callbackUrl here' //This is the forwarding url you get from ngrok. eg. https://123abc.ngrok-free.app

I've updated the welcome.blade.php file to reflect the project's objectives. You'll find this in the update landing page module.
