Got it, integrating Pay2All's API into your WordPress site to add a recharge feature is totally manageable—let’s walk through this step by step, tailored to how WordPress works:

First, lock in these basics to avoid roadblocks:

• Double-check you have all required Pay2All API credentials: API key, merchant ID, and secret key (for signing requests). Don’t skip their official docs—note down endpoints for payment initiation, status checks, and webhook requirements.
• Confirm your WordPress site runs a supported PHP version (most APIs require 7.4+). Make sure you have FTP/SSH access or can use a child theme (so changes don’t get wiped on theme updates).

We’ll use shortcodes to keep the functionality reusable and clean.

Step 2.1: Add the Recharge Form Shortcode #

Drop this code into your child theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:

// Register recharge form shortcode
add_shortcode('pay2all_recharge_form', 'pay2all_recharge_form_callback');
function pay2all_recharge_form_callback() {
    ob_start(); ?>
    <form id="recharge-form" method="post" action="<?php echo esc_url(admin_url('admin-post.php')); ?>">
        <input type="hidden" name="action" value="process_pay2all_recharge">
        <div style="margin: 10px 0;">
            <label for="recharge_amount">Recharge Amount:</label>
            <input type="number" id="recharge_amount" name="recharge_amount" min="1" step="0.01" required style="margin-left: 10px;">
        </div>
        <div style="margin: 10px 0;">
            <label for="user_email">Your Email:</label>
            <input type="email" id="user_email" name="user_email" value="<?php echo esc_attr(get_current_user_id() ? wp_get_current_user()->user_email : ''); ?>" required style="margin-left: 30px;">
        </div>
        <button type="submit" style="padding: 8px 16px; background: #0073aa; color: white; border: none; border-radius: 4px;">Proceed to Pay</button>
    </form>
    <?php
    return ob_get_clean();
}

Then create a new WordPress page (Pages → Add New) and insert [pay2all_recharge_form] into the content to display the form.

Step 2.2: Handle Payment Requests to Pay2All API #

Add this code to the same functions.php or custom plugin to process form submissions and send data to Pay2All:

// Handle recharge form submission (for logged-in and guest users)
add_action('admin_post_process_pay2all_recharge', 'process_pay2all_recharge');
add_action('admin_post_nopriv_process_pay2all_recharge', 'process_pay2all_recharge');

function process_pay2all_recharge() {
    // Validate input
    if (!isset($_POST['recharge_amount'], $_POST['user_email'])) {
        wp_redirect(add_query_arg('status', 'error', wp_get_referer()));
        exit;
    }

    $amount = sanitize_text_field($_POST['recharge_amount']);
    $email = sanitize_email($_POST['user_email']);
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $order_id = 'RECHARGE-' . $user_id . '-' . time(); // Unique order ID

    // Load your Pay2All credentials (store these in wp-config.php for security!)
    $api_key = defined('PAY2ALL_API_KEY') ? PAY2ALL_API_KEY : 'YOUR_API_KEY';
    $merchant_id = defined('PAY2ALL_MERCHANT_ID') ? PAY2ALL_MERCHANT_ID : 'YOUR_MERCHANT_ID';
    $secret_key = defined('PAY2ALL_SECRET_KEY') ? PAY2ALL_SECRET_KEY : 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY';

    // Prepare payload (adjust fields to match Pay2All's API docs)
    $payload = [
        'merchant_id' => $merchant_id,
        'amount' => $amount,
        'currency' => 'INR', // Update to your preferred currency
        'order_id' => $order_id,
        'customer_email' => $email,
        'customer_id' => $user_id,
        'redirect_url' => home_url('/recharge-status/'), // Page to redirect post-payment
        'webhook_url' => home_url('/wp-json/pay2all/v1/webhook'), // Webhook for auto-confirmation
    ];

    // Generate signature (follow Pay2All's signing method exactly)
    $signature = hash('sha256', implode('|', $payload) . '|' . $secret_key);
    $payload['signature'] = $signature;

    // Send request to Pay2All's API
    $response = wp_remote_post('https://api.pay2all.in/payment/initiate', [
        'headers' => [
            'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $api_key,
            'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
        ],
        'body' => json_encode($payload),
        'timeout' => 30,
    ]);

    // Handle API errors
    if (is_wp_error($response)) {
        wp_redirect(add_query_arg('status', 'api_error', wp_get_referer()));
        exit;
    }

    $response_body = json_decode(wp_remote_retrieve_body($response), true);
    if ($response_body['status'] === 'success') {
        // Redirect user to Pay2All's payment page
        wp_redirect($response_body['payment_url']);
        exit;
    } else {
        wp_redirect(add_query_arg('status', 'payment_failed', wp_get_referer()));
        exit;
    }
}

Security Note: Store your API credentials in wp-config.php instead of hardcoding them:

// Add this to wp-config.php
define('PAY2ALL_API_KEY', 'your_actual_api_key');
define('PAY2ALL_MERCHANT_ID', 'your_merchant_id');
define('PAY2ALL_SECRET_KEY', 'your_secret_key');

Make a new page named "Recharge Status" and add this shortcode to display payment results:

add_shortcode('recharge_status', 'recharge_status_callback');
function recharge_status_callback() {
    $status = isset($_GET['status']) ? sanitize_text_field($_GET['status']) : '';
    $message = '';

    switch ($status) {
        case 'success':
            $message = '<p style="color: #2ecc71; font-size: 1.1em;">Your recharge was successful! Thank you for your payment.</p>';
            // Optional: Add code here to update the user's balance in WordPress
            break;
        case 'failed':
            $message = '<p style="color: #e74c3c; font-size: 1.1em;">Recharge failed. Please check your payment details and try again.</p>';
            break;
        case 'error':
            $message = '<p style="color: #e74c3c; font-size: 1.1em;">Invalid input. Please enter a valid amount and email address.</p>';
            break;
        case 'api_error':
            $message = '<p style="color: #e74c3c; font-size: 1.1em;">We couldn’t connect to the payment gateway. Please try again later.</p>';
            break;
        default:
            $message = '<p>Please complete a recharge request first to see your status.</p>';
    }

    return $message;
}

Insert [recharge_status] into your Recharge Status page content.

Webhooks ensure you get payment updates even if the user closes their browser mid-payment. Add this code to create a custom REST endpoint:

// Register Pay2All webhook endpoint
add_action('rest_api_init', function () {
    register_rest_route('pay2all/v1', '/webhook', [
        'methods' => 'POST',
        'callback' => 'pay2all_webhook_handler',
        'permission_callback' => '__return_true', // Verify signature instead of restricting access
    ]);
});

function pay2all_webhook_handler(WP_REST_Request $request) {
    $payload = $request->get_body();
    $headers = $request->get_headers();

    // Verify webhook signature (match Pay2All's method)
    $secret_key = defined('PAY2ALL_SECRET_KEY') ? PAY2ALL_SECRET_KEY : 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY';
    $received_signature = isset($headers['x-pay2all-signature'][0]) ? $headers['x-pay2all-signature'][0] : '';
    $expected_signature = hash('sha256', $payload . $secret_key);

    if ($received_signature !== $expected_signature) {
        return new WP_REST_Response('Invalid signature', 403);
    }

    $data = json_decode($payload, true);
    if ($data['payment_status'] === 'success') {
        $user_id = $data['customer_id'];
        $amount = $data['amount'];

        // Update user's recharge balance (example using user meta)
        $current_balance = get_user_meta($user_id, 'recharge_balance', true);
        $new_balance = (float)$current_balance + (float)$amount;
        update_user_meta($user_id, 'recharge_balance', $new_balance);

        // Send confirmation email
        $user = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
        wp_mail($user->user_email, 'Recharge Successful', 
            "Hi {$user->display_name},\n\nYour account has been recharged with ₹{$amount}.\nCurrent balance: ₹{$new_balance}\n\nThanks,\nYour Team"
        );
    }

    return new WP_REST_Response('Webhook processed', 200);
}

Don’t forget to add the webhook URL (https://your-site.com/wp-json/pay2all/v1/webhook) to your Pay2All merchant dashboard.

• Run a small test payment to verify the entire flow: form submission → API request → payment page → status update → webhook balance update.
• Ensure all user input is sanitized (we included this in the code, but double-check).
• Use WordPress’s built-in functions like wp_remote_post instead of raw cURL for better compatibility with hosting environments.

If custom code isn’t your vibe:

• Check if Pay2All offers an official WordPress plugin.
• Use a form builder like WPForms or Gravity Forms with a custom payment integration.
• Set up WooCommerce, create a "Recharge" product, and integrate Pay2All as a custom payment gateway.
