PHP SDK

Introduction to the SumUp PHP SDK and first steps to get you started.

The sumup-php package is the official PHP SDK for SumUp APIs. It provides service clients for common resources, such as:

  • managing merchant profiles
  • managing checkouts
  • managing customers
  • managing payouts
  • querying transactions
  • managing readers

Install with composer require sumup/sumup-php.

Set the SUMUP_API_KEY environment variable or pass the API key directly to the SumUp\SumUp constructor. You can also provide an OAuth access token via access_token.

export SUMUP_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
<?php
use SumUp\SumUp;
use SumUp\Exception\SDKException;
try {
$sumup = new SumUp();
$checkout = $sumup->checkouts->create([
'merchant_code' => getenv('SUMUP_MERCHANT_CODE'),
'amount' => 25.00,
'currency' => 'EUR',
'checkout_reference' => 'ORDER-1001',
'description' => 'Online payment via card widget',
]);
echo $checkout->id . PHP_EOL;
// Return $checkout->id to your webpage so the SumUp card widget can complete the payment.
} catch (SDKException $exception) {
echo 'SumUp SDK error: ' . $exception->getMessage();
}
<?php
use SumUp\SumUp;
use SumUp\Exception\SDKException;
try {
$sumup = new SumUp();
$merchantCode = getenv('SUMUP_MERCHANT_CODE');
$readers = $sumup->readers->list($merchantCode)->items ?? [];
$firstSolo = $readers[0] ?? null;
if (!$firstSolo) {
throw new RuntimeException('Pair a Solo reader before using the Cloud API.');
}
$payload = [
'total_amount' => [
'currency' => 'EUR',
'minor_unit' => 2,
'value' => 1500,
],
'affiliate' => [
'app_id' => getenv('SUMUP_APP_ID'),
'foreign_transaction_id' => 'solo-' . time(),
'key' => getenv('SUMUP_AFFILIATE_KEY'),
],
'description' => 'Solo Cloud API checkout',
];
$checkoutResponse = $sumup->readers->createCheckout(
$merchantCode,
$firstSolo->id,
$payload
);
echo $checkoutResponse->data['client_transaction_id'] . PHP_EOL;
} catch (SDKException | RuntimeException $exception) {
echo 'Error: ' . $exception->getMessage();
}
