Wave Pay Mini App ​

Wave Pay Mini App (Wave Money JS SDK v1.8) lets the customer pay inside the WavePay app: your web page runs in the app's webview and calls Wave's JavaScript SDK. Your Laravel app covers the three parts that need secrets; the page itself calls makePayment.

CallWhat it doesReturns
wavePayMiniApp()->accessToken()Get an access token for the page, cachedstring
wavePayMiniApp()->payment($data)Sign the makePayment payload, no API callMiniAppPayment
wavePayMiniApp()->handleCallback($request)Verify the callbackPaymentCallback

Wave Pay Mini App has no status API: the callback is the only payment result.

How it works ​

The page logs in with a token from your app, then pays with a payload your app signed. Wave posts the result to your callback URL.

Configuration ​

VariableConfig keyDescription
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_CLIENT_IDwave_pay_mini_app.client_idClient ID issued by Wave, for the token endpoint
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_CLIENT_SECRETwave_pay_mini_app.client_secretClient secret issued by Wave, for the token endpoint
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_MINI_APP_IDwave_pay_mini_app.mini_app_idYour mini app ID (miniAppID)
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_SECRET_KEYwave_pay_mini_app.secret_keyHash secret key for payment and callback hashes
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_BASE_URLwave_pay_mini_app.base_urlThe API base URL. A trailing / is dropped

Every setting is required; the shared MYANMAR_PAYMENTS_HTTP_TIMEOUT (30 seconds by default) applies to the token request. See Configuration for the production and UAT base URLs.

Access Token ​

The page needs an access token for WaveJsSDK.authModule.loginWithAccessToken(token). Return it from a route of your own:

php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Laranex\LaravelMyanmarPayments\Facades\MyanmarPayments;

Route::get('/mini-app/token', fn () => [
    'accessToken' => MyanmarPayments::wavePayMiniApp()->accessToken(),
]);

accessToken() posts client_id, client_secret and grant_type=client_credentials as a form to {base_url}/auth/v1/external-utility/token through Laravel's Http client and returns access_token. The token is kept in your cache store under myanmar-payments.wave-pay-mini-app.token.<sha256(base_url|client_id)>, the same key in every Laranex package, for Wave's expires_in minus 60 seconds (at least 60 seconds; a missing or non-positive value means 3600). wavePayMiniApp()->forgetToken() drops it. Never request the token from the browser: it needs the client secret.

Starting a Payment ​

php
use Laranex\LaravelMyanmarPayments\Facades\MyanmarPayments;
use Laranex\PhpMyanmarPayments\WavePayMiniApp\WavePayMiniAppItem;
use Laranex\PhpMyanmarPayments\WavePayMiniApp\WavePayMiniAppPaymentData;

$data = new WavePayMiniAppPaymentData(
    orderId: 'ORDER_'.$order->id,
    callbackUrl: route('payments.wave-pay-mini-app.callback'),
    items: [
        new WavePayMiniAppItem('Ticket', 3000),
        new WavePayMiniAppItem('Snack', 2000),
    ],
);

$payment = MyanmarPayments::wavePayMiniApp()->payment($data);

$order->update(['wave_reference' => $data->merchantReferenceId]);

return response()->json($payment->toArray());

payment() sends no request: it signs the payload and returns it.

WavePayMiniAppPaymentData ​

ParameterTypeRequiredRules
orderIdstringYesYour order ID (orderID)
callbackUrlstringYesAbsolute http or https URL that Wave posts the result to (callBackUrl). It is signed, so the callback is verified with this same URL
itemslist<WavePayMiniAppItem>YesAt least one item
amountAmount|int|nullNoWhole kyat, greater than 0 (Wave doesn't accept decimals). null charges the exact sum of the items
merchantReferenceId?stringNoYour ID for this attempt (merchantRefID). null or empty means a random 32-character hex ID

WavePayMiniAppItem takes a name (required) and an amount (Amount|int) in whole kyat, greater than 0. Errors are collected in this order: orderId, callbackUrl, items, merchantReferenceId, each item's items.0.name and items.0.amount, then amount. Without items or amount, amount reports The amount field is required.; a negative amount reports The amount field must not be negative.; a decimal one reports Wave Pay Mini App does not accept decimal amounts; the amount field must be a whole number.

The makePayment Payload ​

$payment->toArray() is exactly the object Wave's makePayment takes, in this order:

json
{
  "amount": 5000,
  "miniAppID": "MINI456",
  "merchantRefID": "3f9c0d6e5b2a41c8a7e1f0b9d4c3a2e1",
  "orderID": "ORDER_1",
  "callBackUrl": "https://shop.test/payments/wave-pay-mini-app/callback",
  "hashValue": "…",
  "items": [
    { "name": "Ticket", "amount": 3000 },
    { "name": "Snack", "amount": 2000 }
  ]
}

Amounts are JSON integers. hashValue is the lowercase hex HMAC-SHA256, keyed with the secret key, of amount, orderID, miniAppID, merchantRefID and callBackUrl joined with no separator, e.g. 5000ORDER123MINI456MERCHANT789https://yourdomain.com/callback. For an amount above PHP_INT_MAX, return $payment->toJson(), which writes every digit.

On the Page ​

Load Wave's SDK as Wave's guide shows, then pass the payload from your app unchanged. Never compute the token or the hash in the browser.

js
const sdk = new WaveJsSDK({ appName: 'My Shop', appIconUrl: 'https://shop.test/icon.png' })
await sdk.init()

const { accessToken } = await (await fetch('/mini-app/token')).json()
await window.WaveJsSDK.authModule.loginWithAccessToken(accessToken)

const payload = await (await fetch('/mini-app/orders/1/pay', { method: 'POST' })).json()
const result = await window.WaveJsSDK.paymentModule.makePayment(payload)

makePayment's result only tells the page how the payment screen ended; fulfill from the verified callback.

Merchant Reference ID ​

Give every attempt, including a retry of the same order, a new merchantReferenceId. Leave it empty to get a fresh random ID, and store it from $data->merchantReferenceId: the callback's merchantRefId names the attempt that was paid.

Handling Callbacks ​

The callback carries neither the mini app ID nor the callback URL. handleCallback($request), and MyanmarPayments::handleCallback('wave-pay-mini-app', $request), verify it against the request's own URL ($request->url(): scheme, host and path, no query string), which is the callback URL the payment was signed with. The mini app ID comes from the configuration.

php
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Laranex\LaravelMyanmarPayments\Facades\MyanmarPayments;
use Laranex\PhpMyanmarPayments\Exceptions\SignatureVerificationException;

Route::post('/payments/wave-pay-mini-app/callback', function (Request $request) {
    try {
        $callback = MyanmarPayments::wavePayMiniApp()->handleCallback($request);
    } catch (SignatureVerificationException) {
        abort(400);
    }

    if ($callback->isSuccessful()) {
        // $callback->orderId is your orderId
        // $callback->raw['merchantRefId'] is the attempt's reference
        // $callback->gatewayReference is Wave's transactionId
    }

    return MyanmarPayments::acknowledge($callback);
})->name('payments.wave-pay-mini-app.callback');

When your app sees a different URL than the one Wave posted to, e.g. behind a proxy Laravel doesn't trust, pass the signed URL: wavePayMiniApp()->handleCallback($request, $callbackUrl). A framework-agnostic CallbackRequest has no URL, so it needs the second argument; without it, handleCallback() throws InvalidArgumentException.

The expected hashValue is the same HMAC as the payment's, over the callback's amount (its exact JSON text), orderId, your mini app ID, merchantRefId and the callback URL, compared in constant time and ignoring the case of the hex digits. A missing or non-string hashValue, a mismatch, or an object or array in any callback field throws SignatureVerificationException with Wave Pay Mini App callback hash verification failed.. After the hash matches, orderId and merchantRefId must not be empty and amount must be a whole number; otherwise it throws Wave Pay Mini App callback is malformed..

Statuses ​

Only successful means the customer paid. transactionStatus is matched trimmed and case-insensitively.
