srmklive/paypal
A Laravel package for the PayPal REST API that also works as a standalone PHP client. Covers orders, payments, subscriptions, billing plans, invoices, payouts, disputes, and more, with PHP 8.2–8.5 and Laravel 12/13 support.
A large maintenance release: Guzzle 8 support, security hardening, seven new API methods, and a full audit of every request against PayPal's official OpenAPI specs, which turned up and fixed dozens of requests PayPal would reject or silently ignore.
There are no removed methods and no required signature changes. Some return values and default behaviours changed where the old behaviour was a bug, so please read Behaviour changes before upgrading.
guzzlehttp/guzzle ^7.15.2|^8.0.1, guzzlehttp/psr7 ^2.12.3|^3.0. The raised minimums exclude Guzzle/PSR-7 versions with published security advisories.ext-bcmath is no longer needed.currency, locale and validate_ssl default to USD, en_US and true. payment_action and notify_url were never used and have been removed from the config (existing configs keep working).verifyWebHookLocally() accepted http:// certificate URLs on PayPal hosts, which let an on-path attacker supply their own signing certificate. The certificate fetch also no longer follows redirects, times out after 10 s and only caches real PEM certificates.withExceptions()), every later call was sent with Basic auth; JSON bodies were re-sent on later GET requests and token refreshes.PayPal-Request-Id.

Further optional parameters: updateInvoice() can suppress the recipient/merchant emails, makeOfferToResolveDispute() accepts a return address and invoice ID, addTaxes() an $inclusive flag, addPricingScheme() an explicit billing cycle $sequence, setStoredPaymentSource() a $usage, setShippingAddressChangeCallback() the callback $events, generateQRCodeInvoice() an $action, and listUsers() paging.
Please check these when upgrading:
sendInvoice(), captureSubscriptionPayment() and updateDispute() return decoded arrays ([] instead of '' for empty responses).updateOrder(), cancelSubscription(), updatePlan(), deleteInvoice(), ...) now return JSON API errors as arrays in $response['error'] / getPayPalError(), as documented. Drop any json_decode($response['error']) workaround.JsonException on success: empty 204 responses return []; malformed success bodies are returned as errors (or thrown as PayPalApiException with withExceptions()).Accept-Language is sent: the configured locale (default en_US) now actually reaches PayPal, so error message texts follow it. The machine-readable name/issue codes are unchanged.addTaxes() was sent where PayPal ignores it; subscriptions created with it are now actually taxed. Tax rates keep their precision (8.875 stays 8.875).Retry-After values above 10 s are no longer waited for; the 429 is returned instead.generateQRCodeInvoice() defaults to 500×500, throws InvalidArgumentException for sizes outside 150–500 px, and returns the base64 PNG (every successful call used to come back as an error).send_recipient = false is now respected (the customer was emailed anyway).setShippingAddressChangeCallback() and setStoredPaymentSource() now send PayPal's actual fields (order_update_callback_config, payment_source.<method>.stored_credential), and only the experience context fields a payment source supports are sent.verifyIPN() posts the raw request body back to PayPal instead of a re-encoded copy.processBillingPlanPricingUpdates() looks up the plan (one extra GET) to update the right billing cycles.createOrderWithPaymentSource() with a payment source, and createWebExperienceProfile().listUsers() without arguments sends no (invalid) filter, listSubscriptionTransactions() defaults to the last 30 days, listDisputes()/listPlans() cap the page size at the endpoint maximum, BillingPlanBuilder puts trial cycles first, and a Content-Type set with setRequestHeader() only applies to the next request.getAccessToken() reused the previous HTTP method, so refreshing after a GET sent GET /v1/oauth2/token.processing_instruction, no [] payment source).invoice_id/note_to_payer are omitted instead of rejected.billing_cycle_sequence; BillingPlanBuilder accepts the API's CANCEL setup fee action; subscription quantity and tax percentages are sent as strings; empty descriptions are omitted.REPLACEMENT_WITHOUT_REFUND omits the amount, REFUND_WITH_RETURN can include the return address).listPaymentSourceTokens() defaults to the API's maximum page size of 5.createWebHook() always sends event_types as an array.To be removed in the next major version:
addBatchTracking(): PayPal deprecated the batch endpoint, use addTrackingForOrder().deletePaymentSetupToken(): PayPal has no such endpoint; setup tokens expire automatically.setupOrderConfirmation()'s $processing_instruction (ignored).BillingPlanBuilder::withSetupFee(..., 'CANCEL_SUBSCRIPTION'): use CANCEL (the old value is mapped).setCurlConstants(), defineCurlConstant() and Services\Str: no longer used.A few multipart details aren't fully specified by PayPal's spec and follow PayPal's published samples: the JSON input part used for dispute evidence, appeals and supporting information, and the multipart format of the QR code response. Please report anything unexpected from the sandbox.
Eight new features landed since 3.1.0, all fully backward-compatible. No removed methods, no signature changes, nothing to migrate.
The retry middleware now handles 429 Too Many Requests. When PayPal sends a Retry-After header the delay respects it exactly; without it, the existing exponential backoff kicks in (500ms, 1s, 2s, up to 8s). Nothing to configure.
Typed readonly wrapper around PayPal webhook payloads:
use Srmklive\PayPal\Events\WebhookEvent;
$event = WebhookEvent::fromRawBody($request->getContent());
if ($event->is('PAYMENT.CAPTURE.COMPLETED')) {
$captureId = $event->resource['id'];
}
Fields: id, eventType, resourceType, summary, createTime, resource, rawPayload.
Four wrappers on top of listTransactions() for the common cases:
// Single transaction by ID, looks back up to 31 days
$tx = $provider->getTransactionDetails('5TY05013RG002845M');
// Date range shorthand, no manual ISO 8601 formatting needed
$txns = $provider->listTransactionsForDateRange('2025-01-01', '2025-01-31');
// Filter by PayPal transaction type code
$txns = $provider->listTransactionsByType('T0006', '2025-01-01', '2025-01-31');
// Filter by status (S = success, P = pending, etc.)
$txns = $provider->listTransactionsByStatus('S', '2025-01-01', '2025-01-31');
// Alias for activateSubscription() with a sensible default reason
$provider->reactivateSubscription($subscriptionId);
// True only when status === 'ACTIVE'
if ($provider->isSubscriptionActive($subscriptionId)) { ... }
A public MockPayPalClient lives at Srmklive\PayPal\Testing\MockPayPalClient. Queue responses in tests without touching the sandbox:
use Srmklive\PayPal\Testing\MockPayPalClient;
$client = new MockPayPalClient($credentials);
$client->addResponse(201, ['id' => 'ORDER-123', 'status' => 'CREATED']);
$order = $client->createOrder([...]);
// $client->requests() to inspect what was sent
Fluent builder for billing plan payloads. Covers all cycle types, trial pricing, and payment preferences:
use Srmklive\PayPal\Services\BillingPlanBuilder;
$plan = BillingPlanBuilder::make('Pro Plan', 'PROD-ABC123')
->trialCycle(days: 14, price: 0)
->monthlyPrice(29.99)
->build();
$response = $provider->createBillingPlan($plan);
Set the PayPal-Partner-Attribution-Id BN code once after initialisation and it sticks for all subsequent requests from that instance:
$provider->setPartnerAttributionId('YourBNCode_Cart');
setPaymentSourcePayUponInvoice() joins the existing payment source setters. Available for merchants in Germany and Austria:
$provider->setPaymentSourcePayUponInvoice([
'name' => ['given_name' => 'John', 'surname' => 'Doe'],
'email' => '[email protected]',
'birth_date' => '1990-01-01',
'phone' => ['country_code' => '49', 'national_number' => '1234567890'],
'billing_address' => [
'address_line_1' => 'Hauptstraße 1',
'admin_area_2' => 'Berlin',
'postal_code' => '10115',
'country_code' => 'DE',
],
'experience_context' => [
'locale' => 'de-DE',
'return_url' => 'https://example.com/paypal-success',
'cancel_url' => 'https://example.com/paypal-cancel',
],
]);
$order = $provider->createOrderWithPaymentSource([
'intent' => 'CAPTURE',
'purchase_units' => [['amount' => ['currency_code' => 'EUR', 'value' => '99.00']]],
]);

No code changes required.
Starting with v3.1, Blendbyte is taking over active maintenance of srmklive/paypal. We're a cloud infrastructure and software development company that builds and operates Laravel applications for our own products and for clients. This package has been a dependency in our stack for years across dozens of projects, so when the opportunity came up to take over maintainership we didn't think twice. We're stoked to give it the attention it deserves.
A huge thank you to [@srmklive](https://github.com/srmklive) for building and maintaining this package across 110+ releases and nearly 4 million Packagist installs. His work gave the Laravel ecosystem a reliable PayPal integration for years, and we're grateful for the trust he's placed in us to carry it forward. He'll stay on as a contributor.
This release is fully backward-compatible with v3.0. No API changes, no removed methods, no migration needed. If your project runs on PHP 8.2+ and Laravel 12, composer update picks this up automatically.

No code changes needed. All existing method signatures and return types are preserved. The three new config keys (timeout, connect_timeout, max_retries) have sensible defaults and are fully optional. Your existing config/paypal.php works as-is.
