## What it is
Payum is a MIT-licensed PHP payment processing library that unifies 50+ payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Authorize.Net, Sofort, and more) behind a single request/reply pipeline. It models the full payment lifecycle — capture, authorize, refund, cancel, payouts, subscriptions, and IPN notifications — with framework integrations for Symfony, Laravel, and e-commerce platforms like Sylius.

## Use cases
- accept credit card and offsite payments in a PHP app
- integrate Stripe and PayPal checkout with one API
- process refunds and payouts across multiple gateways
- handle recurring payments and subscription billing
- handle payment notifications and IPN webhooks
- add payment processing to a Symfony or Laravel project
- swap payment providers without rewriting checkout code

## When to choose
- you build in PHP and need to support multiple payment gateways through one abstraction
- you want the full payment lifecycle (capture, refund, payout, notifications) handled uniformly
- you use Symfony, Laravel, or Sylius and want a battle-tested payment integration
- you need to switch or add gateways without changing your checkout code

## When to avoid
- you only ever need a single gateway and are happy with its official SDK
- your stack is not PHP
- you need a fully hosted payment solution rather than a library you integrate yourself
