# React Native SDK

Create your own uniquely styled and branded checkout form by integrating our SDK into your native app.

Read more about the Checkout SDK and the supported payment journeys [here](/products/checkout).

Note
Make yourself familiar with our [API Principles](/products/reference/api-principles) to ensure a resilient integration.

## How does it work?

We are securing your customer's payment details by generating sessions. You can then [create a token](/products/verified-tokens/create-verified-token) with the card details and optionally use the CVC to [take a payment](/products/card-payments/v6).

### What is a `session`?

A `session` is a unique identifier for your customer's payment details, generated by the SDK.

## Prerequisites

The React Native SDK is compatible with the following:

- `react-native` version ≥ `0.61.5`
- `react` version ≥ `16.9.0`
- For iOS dependencies, `Cocoapods` support only.


## Get our SDK

1. Run the following command to install our SDK.

2. Add a dependency to the Android Bridge in the Android part of your application.
a. Define in your `android/build.gradle` file a local maven Repo for the Android Bridge which is shipped with the SDK.
### gradle

```
maven { url("$rootDir/../node_modules/@worldpay/access-worldpay-checkout-react-native-sdk/android/") }
```
b. Add the Android Bridge dependency in your gradle configuration.
#### gradle

```
dependencies { 
   ...
   implementation "com.worldpay.access:access-checkout-react-native-sdk-android-bridge:+"
   ...
}
```
c. Add the `AccessCheckoutReactPackage` which contains the Android Bridge to the list of `ReactPackage` exposed by your `ReactApplication`.

3. Add a dependency to the iOS Bridge in the iOS part of your application.
To add the iOS dependency into your application, define the dependencies in the Podfile.
#### Cocoapods

```
target 'my-app' do
   ...
   pod 'AccessCheckoutReactNativeSDKiOSBridge', :path => '../node_modules/@worldpay/access-worldpay-checkout-react-native-sdk/ios/'
end
```


## What to do next

See our guides on how to create sessions you can use to take a payment:

Note
For one-time payments, you would need to [delete the token](/products/tokens/querying-and-updating-tokens#deleting-tokens) after you take the payment.

[**Create a session to pay with a card**](/products/checkout/react-native/v1/card-only)

1. [Submit card details to create a session](/products/checkout/react-native/v1/card-only)
2. Create a [verified token](//products/verified-tokens/@v3/create-verified-token.md)
3. [Take a payment](/products/card-payments/v6/authorize-a-payment) with this token


[**Create sessions to pay with a card and CVC**](/products/checkout/react-native/v1/card-and-cvc)

1. [Submit card details and CVC to create two separate sessions](/products/checkout/react-native/v1/card-and-cvc)
2. Create a [verified token](/products/verified-tokens/create-verified-token) with your CARD `session`
3. Use your CVC `session` and verified token in our `card/checkout` payment instrument to take a payment using one of the following endpoints:
  * [payments:cardonFileAuthorize](/products/card-payments/v6/authorise-a-cardonfile-payment)
  * [payments:migrateCardOnFileSale](/products/card-payments/v6/migrate-cardonfile-sale) or
  * [payments:migrateCardOnFileAuthorize](/products/card-payments/v6/authorise-a-cardonfile-payment#card-on-file-authorization-without-verification)


[**Create a session for CVC only and pay with a stored token**](/products/checkout/react-native/v1/card-and-cvc#create-a-session-for-cvc-only)

1. [Submit the CVC to create a session](/products/checkout/react-native/v1/card-and-cvc#create-a-session-for-cvc-only)
2. Use your cvc `session` and stored verified token in our `card/checkout` payment instrument to take a payment using one of the following endpoints:


* [payments:cardonFileAuthorize](/products/card-payments/v6/authorise-a-cardonfile-payment)
* [payments:migrateCardOnFileSale](/products/card-payments/v6/migrate-cardonfile-sale) or
* [payments:migrateCardOnFileAuthorize](/products/card-payments/v6/authorise-a-cardonfile-payment#card-on-file-authorization-without-verification)
