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 server covers the three parts that need secrets; the page itself calls makePayment.

$wavePayMiniApp->payment($data)Sign the makePayment payload, no API callMiniAppPayment
$wavePayMiniApp->handleCallback($request, $callbackUrl)Verify the callbackPaymentCallback

How it works ​

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

Configuration ​

php
use Laranex\PhpMyanmarPayments\WavePayMiniApp\WavePayMiniApp;
use Laranex\PhpMyanmarPayments\WavePayMiniApp\WavePayMiniAppConfig;

$wavePayMiniApp = new WavePayMiniApp(
    new WavePayMiniAppConfig(
        clientId: '...',
        clientSecret: '...',
        miniAppId: '...',
        secretKey: '...',
        baseUrl: WavePayMiniAppConfig::PRODUCTION_URL,
    ),
    cache: $cache, // a shared PSR-16 cache for the access token
);
// or WavePayMiniApp::fromEnv(cache: $cache), or $payments->wavePayMiniApp()
VariablefromArray() keyDescription
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_CLIENT_IDclient_idClient ID issued by Wave, for the token endpoint
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_CLIENT_SECRETclient_secretClient secret issued by Wave, for the token endpoint
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_MINI_APP_IDmini_app_idYour mini app ID (miniAppID)
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_SECRET_KEYsecret_keyHash secret key for payment and callback hashes
WAVE_PAY_MINI_APP_BASE_URLbase_urlThe API base URL, e.g. WavePayMiniAppConfig::PRODUCTION_URL. A trailing / is dropped
MYANMAR_PAYMENTS_HTTP_TIMEOUTtimeout_in_secondsOptional, 30 seconds by default

Every setting except the timeout is required. See Configuration for the production and UAT base URLs.

Access Token ​

The page needs an access token for WaveJsSDK.authModule.loginWithAccessToken(token). Return $wavePayMiniApp->accessToken() from an endpoint of your own:

php
// GET /mini-app/token
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode(['accessToken' => $wavePayMiniApp->accessToken()]);

accessToken() posts client_id, client_secret and grant_type=client_credentials as a form to {baseUrl}/auth/v1/external-utility/token and returns access_token. The token is kept in the token cache under myanmar-payments.wave-pay-mini-app.token.<sha256(baseUrl|clientId)>, the same key in every Laranex SDK, 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\PhpMyanmarPayments\WavePayMiniApp\WavePayMiniAppItem;
use Laranex\PhpMyanmarPayments\WavePayMiniApp\WavePayMiniAppPaymentData;

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

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

// Store $data->merchantReferenceId with the order.

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo $payment->toJson();

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 verify the callback 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 has 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 ​

$payment->toArray() (or json_encode($payment)) 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, use toJson(), which writes every digit.

On the Page ​

Load Wave's SDK as Wave's guide shows, then pass the payload from your server 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: the callback's merchantRefId tells you which attempt was paid.

Handling Callbacks ​

The callback carries neither the mini app ID nor the callback URL, so pass the callback URL the payment was signed with: normally the URL the callback was posted to, without its query string. The mini app ID comes from the configuration.

php
// POST /payments/wave-pay-mini-app/callback
use Laranex\PhpMyanmarPayments\Exceptions\SignatureVerificationException;
use Laranex\PhpMyanmarPayments\Http\CallbackRequest;

try {
    $callback = $wavePayMiniApp->handleCallback(
        CallbackRequest::fromGlobals(),
        'https://shop.test/payments/wave-pay-mini-app/callback',
    );
} catch (SignatureVerificationException) {
    http_response_code(400);
    echo 'invalid callback';
    exit;
}

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

$callback->acknowledgement->send();

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 you pass, 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.

Wave Pay Mini App has no status API: rely on the callback.

Errors ​

CallThrowsWhen
new WavePayMiniAppConfig(...)ConfigurationExceptionA setting is missing or blank, e.g. The wave_pay_mini_app configuration is missing [client_id].
new WavePayMiniAppPaymentData(...)InvalidPaymentDataExceptionA value breaks the rules above (validate() checks again). Item errors use items.0.name and items.0.amount keys
accessToken()ApiExceptionWave answers with an HTTP error, a body that isn't JSON, or no access_token. The message is Wave Pay Mini App token request failed: [<error>] <error_description> when Wave sends an error, else Wave Pay Mini App token request failed with HTTP <status>.; gatewayCode is Wave's error, gatewayMessage its error_description (or message)
handleCallback()SignatureVerificationExceptionWave Pay Mini App callback hash verification failed.: hashValue is missing, not a string or doesn't match, or a callback field holds an object or array. Wave Pay Mini App callback is malformed.: the hash matches but orderId or merchantRefId is empty, or amount isn't a whole number

When Wave can't be reached, accessToken() throws ApiException with httpStatus 0 and the original error as getPrevious().
