Setup payment processing microservice in the blink of an eye.

In previous article I told you about the idea of having a payment processing server. Ready to setup your own payment server? I’ll show you the fastest way. We’ll use Docker and a command line terminal. if you do not have Docker here’s the manual on how to setup it.

Open a shell terminal, create an empty folder and go into it. Like this:

$ mkdir payum-server && cd payum-server

Create docker-composer.yml inside the folder:

version: '2'
services:
  payum-server:
    image: payum/payum-server
    environment:
      - PAYUM_MONGO_URI=mongodb://mongo:27017/payum_server
      - PAYUM_DEBUG=1
    links:
      - mongo
    ports:
      - "8080:80"

  mongo:
    image: mongo

and run the docker-compose command:

$ docker-compose up -d

Done!

Now you have a fully functional payment processing\aggregation server with mongodb as a storage. Here’s some links to start from:

• Demo: http://localhost:8080/demo.html
• Server API: http://localhost:8080/

The server provides a REST API which is not easy to explore. To simplify your life there is a UI client for the server which also easy to install, just add next lines to the docker-compose.yml file

version: '2'
services:
  payum-server-ui: 
    image: payum/server-ui
    ports:
      - "8081:80"

Restart containers

docker-compose stop; docker-compose up 

Now connect your UI client to your server, for that open this links in a browser: https://localhost:8081/#/app/settings?api=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost:8080

Now I’d like to invite you to join me in this journey. Give it a try, send me your feedback, contribute.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.
