Paypal integration with Laravel 5.1

Question

I'm trying to integrate payment gateway (paypal) with laravel 5.1. I found some solutions for laravel 4, but none for laravel 5.0 and above.

I have been following all the steps mentioned in this link. xroot/laravel-paypalpayment

But I am getting FatalErrorException in PaypalPaymentController.php line 10:

I've attached my Paypal ntegration code, and a screen shot of the error.

Router.php

resource('payment','PaymentController');

app.php

The error I am getting:

Answer 1

I do not know your codebase, but if your class is a controller, why are you extending a Facades class? The issue is that your code is looking for the Facades class in your my_app\\Http\\Controllers namespace.

Removing that line or correctly importing the class will resolve your issue. However, I think you may need to rethink your design here.
