To create a **Google Wallet EventTicketClass** manually using PHP (only once per event), you'll need to make a POST request to the Google Wallet API before generating the ticket object.

### ✅ Add Class Creation Logic (only once per event)

Here’s how to **create the EventTicketClass** before issuing the ticket:

—

### 🔁 1. Add this class creation block **before `$passObject` definition**
Update this part in your existing code to create the class dynamically *if not already created*:

use GoogleClient;
use GoogleServiceWalletobjectsEventTicketClass;

// Initialize Google Client
$client = new GoogleClient();
$client->setAuthConfig($serviceAccountPath);
$client->addScope('https://www.googleapis.com/auth/wallet_object.issuer');
$client->setSubject($clientEmail);

$walletobjectsService = new GoogleServiceWalletobjects($client);

// Check if class exists
try {
    $walletobjectsService->eventTicketclass->get($fullClassId);
} catch (GoogleServiceException $e) {
    if ($e->getCode() === 404) {
        // Create class since it doesn't exist
        $eventClass = new GoogleServiceWalletobjectsEventTicketClass([
            'id' => $fullClassId,
            'issuerName' => 'Fossetts Circus',
            'eventName' => [
                'defaultValue' => [
                    'language' => 'en-US',
                    'value' => $order['event_name'] ?? $order['event_venue']
                ]
            ],
            'venue' => [
                'name' => [
                    'defaultValue' => [
                        'language' => 'en-US',
                        'value' => $order['event_venue']
                    ]
                ],
                'address' => [
                    'defaultValue' => [
                        'language' => 'en-US',
                        'value' => $venue_address
                    ]
                ]
            ]
        ]);

        try {
            $walletobjectsService->eventTicketclass->insert($eventClass);
        } catch (Exception $ex) {
            http_response_code(500);
            exit('Class creation failed: ' . htmlspecialchars($ex->getMessage()));
        }
    } else {
        http_response_code(500);
        exit('Failed to check class: ' . htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage()));
    }
}

—

### ✅ Final Notes:

– This logic ensures the class is created only once per event (based on `$event_id` or venue).
– You may customize the `$classId` further to include event ID or date for uniqueness:

$classId = 'live_fossetts_ticket_' . $order['event_id'];

– Then update:

$objectId = $issuerId . '.' . $classId . '_' . $order_code;
$fullClassId = $issuerId . '.' . $classId;

Let me know if you want to store a flag in DB to prevent class creation per event manually or need full CRUD for classes.

also pass logo url

Assistant

To add a **logo** to your Google Wallet EventTicketClass, you must define an image object under the `logo` property using a **publicly accessible HTTPS URL**.

—

### ✅ Modify the EventTicketClass creation to include the logo

In the class creation block (`$eventClass = new EventTicketClass([…])`), add the `logo` parameter like this:

$eventClass = new GoogleServiceWalletobjectsEventTicketClass([
    'id' => $fullClassId,
    'issuerName' => 'Fossetts Circus',
    'eventName' => [
        'defaultValue' => [
            'language' => 'en-US',
            'value' => $order['event_name'] ?? $order['event_venue']
        ]
    ],
    'venue' => [
        'name' => [
            'defaultValue' => [
                'language' => 'en-US',
                'value' => $order['event_venue']
            ]
        ],
        'address' => [
            'defaultValue' => [
                'language' => 'en-US',
                'value' => $venue_address
            ]
        ]
    ],
    'logo' => [
        'sourceUri' => [
            'uri' => 'https://yourdomain.com/path/to/logo.png',
            'description' => 'Fossetts Circus Logo'
        ]
    ]
]);

### 🔐 Logo Requirements:

—

### ✅ If your logo is hosted locally:

Upload it to your server or a CDN like:

https://fossettscircus.com/assets/logo.png

Then replace this line:

'uri' => 'https://yourdomain.com/path/to/logo.png',

—

Let me know if you also want to add **hero image**, **background color**, or **event thumbnail** – these are also supported in the class.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "GoogleClient" not found in /home/fossetts/public_html/staging/generate-google-wallet-link.php:30 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/fossetts/public_html/staging/generate-google-wallet-link.php on line 30

Assistant

The error you're seeing:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "GoogleClient" not found

means that the **Google API Client Library** is not installed or not autoloaded properly in your project.

—

### ✅ Solution: Install the Google API Client via Composer

Run the following command in your project directory:

composer require google/apiclient:^2.0

This will install the required package and make the `GoogleClient` class available.

—

### ✅ Ensure Autoloading is Set

Make sure this line is present at the top of your script and correctly points to your `vendor/autoload.php` file:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

If your directory structure is different, adjust the path accordingly.

—

### 🔁 After installing, your `composer.json` should include:

"require": {
    "firebase/php-jwt": "^6.0",
    "google/apiclient": "^2.0"
}

—

### ✅ Final Check

After installing, verify the class works by placing a small test snippet:

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new GoogleClient();
echo 'Google Client loaded successfully.';

—

Let me know if you’re on a shared hosting and can’t use Composer directly — I can guide you through downloading the libraries manually.
