Create your checkout form

You must use unique identifiers and field configuration when creating your form. You must then apply default heights to your fields.

Here is an example of how you would set unique identifiers for your field configuration:

HTML

Copied!
<form class="checkout" id="card-form">
      <label class="label" for="card-pan">Card number <span class="type"></span></label>
      <section id="card-pan" class="field"></section>
      <section class="col-2">
        <section class="col">
          <label class="label" for="card-expiry">Expiry date</label>
        <section id="card-expiry" class="field"></section>
        </section>
        <section class="col">
          <label class="label" for="card-cvv">CVV</label>
          <section id="card-cvv" class="field"></section>
        </section>
      </section>
      <button class="submit" type="submit">Pay Now</button>
    </form>

And an example of how you could set the layout of your checkout page:

CSS

.card .checkout .col-2 {

.card .checkout .col-2 .col:first-child {
  margin-right: 15px;

  margin-left: 15px;
}
.card .checkout .field {
  height: 40px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid lightgray;
}
.card .checkout .field#card-pan {
  margin-bottom: 30px;
}

Initializing the SDK

Once you've included thescriptto get our SDK and set your form and fields configuration, you must initialize the SDK.

Use the Worldpay.checkout.init method to do this.

You must provide your AccessCheckoutIdentity, unique form identifier, and field configuration when initializing the SDK.

Optional configuration

Optionally you can also provide your:

ParameterRequiredDescription
idYour Access Checkout ID. e.g. f7a25ad0-0224-46c2-9102-2229aaadbfec
formYour unique form #id selector.
stylesYour optional styles object configuration.
fieldsThe object that contains your field configurations.
selectorThe #id selector for a given field.
placeholderAn optional text preview showing your customer the type of information they should enter in the field.
accessibilityYour optional accessibility object configuration.
cardBrandsYour optional array of the card brands that you wish to accept.
enablePanFormattingAn optional parameter that, if called, enables the PAN formatting behavior.

Generate sessions

You must invoke the checkout.generateSessions method to generate the sessions.

In the JavaScript example above, sessions is returned as an object that contains an encrypted payload of your customer's card details in sessions.card. It also has an encrypted payload of the CVC in sessions.cvv.

Use the sessions.card in your request to theVerified Tokens APIto create a token.

Important: sessions.card has a lifespan of one minute and you can use it only once. If you do not create a token within that time, you must create a new sessions.card value.

Use the sessions.cvv in the CVC parameter (cvcHref) in our card/checkout paymentInstrument to take a card on file payment.

Important: session.cvv has a lifespan of 15 minutes and you can use it only once. If you do not take a payment within that time, you must create a new CVC session. You can do this with ourCVC only SDK.

This paymentInstrument can be used in any of our card on file resources (payments:cardOnFileAuthorize,payments:migrateCardOnFileSaleandpayments:migrateCardOnFileAuthorize).

Need to create a session for CVC only? Take a look at our integration example below:

Create a session for CVC only

Use our Web SDK to capture your customer's CVC which you can use to take a card on file payment alongside a previously created token.

You can only use the CVC only SDK if you have previously received averified tokenfrom an initial payment with the same card details.

You must provide your AccessCheckoutIdentity, unique form identifier, and field configuration when initializing the SDK.

Optionally you can also provide yourstyling configuration, and youraccessibility configuration.

Here is an example of how you would initialize the SDK and the parameters/ configurations you must include:

ParameterRequiredDescription
idYour Access Checkout ID. e.g. f7a25ad0-0224-46c2-9102-2229aaadbfec
formYour unique form #id selector.
stylesYour optional styles object configuration.
fieldsThe object that contains your field configurations.
selectorThe #id selector for a given field.
placeholderAn optional text preview showing your customer the type of information they should enter in the field.
accessibilityYour optional accessibility object configuration.

You must provide the cvvOnly object in the fields configuration as shown in this example:

Copied!
fields: {
        cvvOnly: {
          selector: "#cvv-only",
          placeholder: "123"
        },
      },

Generate a CVC session

You must invoke the checkout.generateSessionState method to generate a CVC session.

Use the value of the CVC session and the verified token in our card/checkout paymentInstrument to take a card on file payment.

Important: The CVC session has a lifespan of 15 minutes and you can use it only once. If you do not take a payment within that time, you must create a new CVC session.

This paymentInstrument can be used in any of our card on file resources (payments:cardOnFileAuthorize,payments:migrateCardOnFileSaleandpayments:migrateCardOnFileAuthorize).

Clear Form

The SDK also exposes a clearForm method that allows the SDK to be reset. All fields and classes are set back to their original state, without reloading the SDK.

The clearForm method accepts a callback that is called when the entire form has successfully cleared.

Customer behavior would usually trigger this. For example:

  • Clicking a clear form button
  • Successful receipt of a session

This allows the customer to input multiple sets of card details without reloading the SDK.

Remove the SDK

You can remove the SDK from a page using the remove method. This method removes all the fields added to the page by the SDK.
