Integrate ICICI Bank’s Eazypay Gateway Seamlessly in Laravel

Sachin Sanchania — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 06:05:07 +0000

Handling payment gateways can be challenging — from generating checksums to managing callbacks securely. That’s why I built Laravel Eazypay Integration — a simple yet powerful Laravel package for integrating ICICI Bank’s Eazypay Payment Gateway into your PHP or Laravel applications.

This package makes it effortless to handle:

🔑 Checksum generation & validation
💳 Secure transaction submission
📩 Callback & response handling

It’s designed for Laravel 10/11 and supports PHP 8+, ensuring smooth integration and up-to-date compatibility.

💡 What is Eazypay?

Eazypay is a secure and versatile payment service offered by ICICI Bank in India.
It allows institutions and businesses to collect money through multiple payment modes like NetBanking, Cards, UPI, NEFT/RTGS, Cash, and Cheque — all through a unified interface.

With Laravel Eazypay, you can integrate this payment gateway directly into your Laravel project with minimal setup and maximum security.

⚙️ Installation

You can install the package using Composer:

composer require sachin-sanchania/laravel-eazypay

⚡ Configuration

The configuration is designed to be flexible and developer-friendly.

Global configuration can be found in:

config/eazypay.php

Step 1: Update your `.env` file

Make sure you add the following credentials provided by ICICI Bank:

EAZYPAY_MERCHANT_ID=your_merchant_id
EAZYPAY_ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_encryption_key
EAZYPAY_RETURN_URL=your_return_url
EAZYPAY_SUB_MERCHANT_ID=xxxxxx
EAZYPAY_PAYMODE=9
EAZYPAY_DEFAULT_BASE_URL=https://eazypay.icicibank.com/EazyPG

💡 Tip: For UAT testing, use
https://eazypayuat.icicibank.com/EazyPG
as the base URL.

Step 2: Clear your application cache

php artisan optimize:clear

Step 3: Publish the configuration file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="SachinSanchania\Eazypay\EazypayServiceProvider"

That’s it! Your Laravel app is now ready to communicate with ICICI’s Eazypay gateway.

🧩 Usage

Once installed and configured, you can easily initiate a payment request and handle the response.

Step 1: Initiate a Payment

Import the package into your controller and call the payment method:

use SachinSanchania\Eazypay\Eazypay;

class PaymentController extends Controller
{ 
    public function payment()
    {
        $amount        = 1000;
        $referenceNo   = 1; // Order ID or unique transaction reference
        $optionalField = '10|10|10|10'; // Optional fields as per ICICI docs

        $eazypay    = new Eazypay();
        $paymentUrl = $eazypay->getPaymentUrl($amount, $referenceNo, $optionalField);

        return redirect()->to($paymentUrl); // Redirect to ICICI Eazypay gateway
    }
}

This generates a secure checksum, prepares the transaction data, and redirects the customer to the payment page.

Step 2: Handle the Payment Response

After the payment process, ICICI Eazypay will redirect the customer to your Return URL with the transaction response.
Here’s how you can capture and handle it:

public function paymentResponse(Request $request)
{
    $response = $request->all();

    // Validate and process payment response
    if (isset($response['status']) && $response['status'] == 'success') {
        // Payment successful
        // Update order or transaction status here
    } else {
        // Payment failed or pending
        // Handle accordingly
    }

    return view('payment.status', compact('response'));
}

🧾 Example Flow

Customer initiates payment on your site.
Your application sends the payment request to Eazypay via this package.
The user completes payment on ICICI’s portal.
ICICI redirects back to your configured Return URL with transaction details.
You verify the checksum and update your database accordingly.

🛠 Supported Payment Modes

Mode	Code
Cash	0
Cheque	1
NEFT/RTGS	2
Net Banking	3
Debit Card	4
Credit Card	5
UPI	6
All	9 (default)

🔒 Security

All sensitive data is encrypted using ICICI’s AES encryption.
The library automatically handles checksum generation and validation for each transaction, ensuring end-to-end integrity and security.

Simplify PHP Environment Management with CoreEnv

Sachin Sanchania — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 05:57:59 +0000

Managing environment variables in PHP projects can quickly become messy — especially when juggling multiple .env files or different environments (local, staging, production). That’s where CoreEnv comes in.

CoreEnv is a lightweight and dependency-free PHP library for loading and managing environment variables effortlessly.
It helps you read .env files, cast values to appropriate types, and keep your configuration clean and secure.

🚀 What is CoreEnv?

CoreEnv is a PHP utility that loads configuration values from .env files into your application environment ($_ENV, $_SERVER, and putenv()).
It provides helper methods to retrieve variables safely with fallback defaults, boolean and numeric casting, and validation.

This makes it ideal for:

🧩 Standalone PHP projects
🧱 Frameworks like Laravel, CodeIgniter, Symfony, or custom setups
🛠 CLI scripts or cron jobs that need environment configuration

🧰 Key Features

📂 Load .env files easily
🔐 Automatic type casting (true, false, null, numbers)
🧩 Retrieve environment variables with default values
⚙️ Supports nested or multiple .env files
🚫 Zero dependencies — pure PHP
💡 Minimal and fast

⚙️ Installation

Install CoreEnv using Composer:

composer require sachin-sanchania/coreenv-php

That’s it! You’re ready to start managing your environment variables.

🧩 Usage

Here’s how simple it is to get started:

1. Create a `.env` file in your project root

APP_NAME=MyAwesomeApp
APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_USER=root
DB_PASS=secret

2. Load environment variables in PHP

use CoreEnv\CoreEnv;

// Load the .env file
CoreEnv::load(__DIR__ . '/.env');

// Retrieve variables
$appName = CoreEnv::get('APP_NAME');
$dbHost  = CoreEnv::get('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
$debug   = CoreEnv::getBoolean('APP_DEBUG', false);

3. Access variables globally

After loading, variables are available in:

$_ENV['APP_NAME'];
$_SERVER['APP_ENV'];
getenv('DB_HOST');

🧠 Helper Methods

Method	Description
`CoreEnv::get($key, $default = null)`	Retrieve any variable with an optional default
`CoreEnv::getBoolean($key, $default = false)`	Automatically cast truthy/falsy values
`CoreEnv::getInt($key, $default = 0)`	Retrieve and cast numeric values
`CoreEnv::required($keys = [])`	Ensure required variables exist, else throw an exception

Example:

CoreEnv::required(['DB_HOST', 'DB_USER', 'DB_PASS']);

🔒 Environment File Example

Here’s an example .env file for a database configuration:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_NAME=mydatabase
DB_USER=root
DB_PASS=supersecret
DEBUG=true

With CoreEnv:

$dbName = CoreEnv::get('DB_NAME');
$debug  = CoreEnv::getBoolean('DEBUG');

🧹 Pro Tips

You can load multiple .env files if needed:

  CoreEnv::load(__DIR__ . '/.env');
  CoreEnv::load(__DIR__ . '/.env.local');

Variables loaded later override earlier ones.
Always add .env to your .gitignore file to keep secrets safe.

💡 Why Use CoreEnv?

While frameworks like Laravel already include environment helpers, CoreEnv is framework-independent, making it ideal for any PHP project.
It’s perfect for developers who want:

A clean, simple .env management tool
Zero dependency solution
Works seamlessly in any PHP environment
