Expected payment flow behaviour:

1. As a merchant you would initiate a payment request per the above Specifications, which include a sample code.


2. Then, after generating the payment page use the result to redirect the customer to the payment page.
   

   try {
       $paymentPage = paypage::sendTransaction('sale','ecom')
         ->sendCart("Order_101", 1000.00, 'Order Description')
         ->sendToken("TST2234701408580", "JfN1DVw6w7hrM7mm1P11jNMbzFFAe9WU")
         ->create_pay_page();
   
       return $paymentPage;
   
   } catch (\Exception $e) {
       // Handle errors appropriately
       return back()->with('error', 'Payment initiation failed: ' . $e->getMessage());
   }


3. After this, your customer would proceed normally with payment by choosing the preferred payment method (if available), and providing his card information.
   
   


4. Then, he will be redirected to his issuer bank 3DS/OTP page to authenticate the used card


5. Finally, he would be redirect to a success/error page accordingly. By this time, you will be able to see his transaction on your merchant dashboard, whether it's accepted/authorized or not.
