Introduction
Omnipay is a payment processing library for PHP. It has been designed based on ideas from Active Merchant, plus experience implementing dozens of gateways for CI Merchant. It has a clear and consistent API, is fully unit tested, and even comes with an example application to get you started.
Why use Omnipay?
So, why use Omnipay instead of a gateway’s official PHP package/example code?
- Because you can learn one API and use it in multiple projects using different payment gateways
- Because if you need to change payment gateways you won’t need to rewrite your code
- Because most official PHP payment gateway libraries are a mess
- Because most payment gateways have exceptionally poor documentation
- Because you are writing a shopping cart and need to support multiple gateways
Upgrading to 3.0
If you are upgrading from a pre-3.0 version of Omnipay, please note that there are some changes regarding the HTTP Client. There have also been some changes to how gateway instances are created. See the full release notes for more details.
