Opensource PHP SDK for COTI ADA Pay

## Batteries Include

The big idea is this. First write a php SDK or test and refine existing libraries support for latest COTI ADA Pay API. Then write WordPress and Laravel plugin and package. 
Batteries included means if you're building on for example on WordPress, you will be able to:
1. install a plugin
2. Be directed to a wizard that guide through creating any necessary COTI credentials (we would love to be able to collect info and setup your COTI accounts as much as possible, much like the way first time Stripe setup works in WordPress).
3) Be directed Woocommerce payment settings pages to enable or disable COTI Pay
4) Get back to making your service or product.

The package/plugin wrapper will deploy a 90% use case opinionated defaults.
Developers will be able to use the PHP SDK directly for custom integrations.

## Open to collaboration.

If you know of a php SDK for COTI ADA Pay please send me links. Would be happy to test and refine an existing package to support the latest version of COTI and build wrappers around that!

## Immediate production use of SDK:

@ lidonation.com/phuffycoin, we're currently busy building a platform to make crowd sourced decisions around charitable giving decentralized, transparent, audible, easy and safe; think a fully decentralized Project Catalyst for charitable giving. The platform is being built using Laravel (a php framework) as a key component of the server side application.  This SDK will be be implemented to facilitate ada transfer from the platform to winning causes.
