Accept USDC payments in Laravel without requiring buyers to hold ETH

Accept USDC payments in Laravel without requiring buyers to hold ETH Accepting USDC sounds simple until the customer has enough USDC to pay you, but no ETH in the wallet for the network fee. Then a payment flow starts looking like this: Customer has USDC → customer clicks Pay → wallet requires ETH for gas → customer first has to acquire ETH → then come back and try again For someone who just wants to make a payment, that is a lot of blockchain knowledge. In this tutorial, we'll use P2Flux for Laravel to create a USDC payment on Base where the buyer can also pay the network cost in USDC. The Laravel application will still verify the transaction server-side before marking an order as paid. P2Flux is non-custodial: the merchant payment settles directly to the merchant wallet rather than sitting in a P2Flux balance waiting to be withdrawn. Install the Laravel package P2Flux has an official integration for Laravel 12 and 13. composer require p2flux/laravel Laravel discovers the package automatically, so there is no service provider to register manually. You also don't need a P2Flux API key. If you want to publish the configuration file: php artisan vendor:publish --tag=p2flux-config The default configuration points to the production P2Flux API: return [ 'api_url' => env('P2FLUX_API_URL', 'https://api.p2flux.com'), 'timeout' => (int) env('P2FLUX_TIMEOUT', 60), ]; The package intentionally stays small. Installing it does not add: payment tables migrations routes controllers scheduled jobs queue workers Your Laravel application remains responsible for its own orders, subscriptions and business logic. Inject P2Flux into your controller The recommended approach is normal Laravel dependency injection.
