Can somebody Help me? I've installed auth package, but Im new in using this, and I havent tried this on my codes. Just would like to know if theres something to do with the auth.

this is for the verify controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Businessuser;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Auth\Notifications\VerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth;

class VerifyemailController extends Controller
{
    public function verify($businessuser_id, Request $request)
    {
        if(!$request->hasValidSignature()){
            return response()->json(["msg"=>'Invalid/Expired url provided'], 401);
        }

        $bususer = Businessuser::find($request->route('id'));

         if($bususer->markEmailAsVerified()){
            return response()->json(["status"=>200, "msg"=>'Verified']);

You should extend User, not Model in order to have markEmailAsVerified available in Businessuser:

class Businessuser extends User
