laravel redirect back to post route, i get MethodNotAllowedHttpException

At first on a get request i show a form, on submitting it, it goes to a post url does some working in the controller and then returns another view which has a form. after submitting this form i validate some things and if the validation fails i want to redirect back with some errors but unfortunately laravel isn't allowing me
to redirect back to a post method. Is there any way i can accomplish this?

i have seen this answer on laracast https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/redirect-back-to-post-route-i-get-methodnotallowed-exception but i couldn't grasp the recommendation

these are my routes in the order described above.

Route::get('/purchasePacks', 'masterDealerController@purchasePacks')->name('purchasePacks');
Route::post('/confirmPuchasedPacks','masterDealerController@confirmPuchasedPacks');
Route::post('/storeOrder','masterDealerController@storeOrder');


below is the redirection code in the storeOrder method. which redirects back to the post url
```

Alert::message("Unable to complete your payment at the moment.",'Please try again later.',"error");
return back()->withInput();


```

which redirects back to the post url ? redirect always performed on GET request. You can't redirect to /storeOrder because it is POST request.

I think the problem is that you are sending a GET request to a POST route. You could do one of a few things that I can think of.

1)
In your controller you can have a static method, storeOrderRedirect(), that handles whatever you need it to on the redirect.

Route::match(array('GET', 'POST'), '/storeOrder', function()
{
AppHttpControllersmasterDealerController::storeOrderRedirect()
});


2)
Just have a post and a get route

3)
I myself would send the data from the form via ajax and not leave the page until I get the response I was looking for instead of using redirects and leaving the page to begin with.
